Matter and Temperature Quick Check

What is the best description of thermal energy?

1. What is the best description of thermal energy?

B) Thermal energy is the energy in matter due to the movement of its atoms and/or molecules.

2. An athlete hurts their wrist. They put an ice directly on the wrist. In which direction is the thermal energy moving?
B) The thermal energy is moving from the wrist to the ice pack.

3. What happens when two substances with different temperatures come into contact?
B) Thermal energy is transferred from the warmer substance to the cooler substance.

4. Which is the best description of what happens when thermal energy is removed from a substance?
B) Its particles lose kinetic energy and move more slowly.

5. Which of the following is typically part of the knowledge base of research and development scientists working on heating devices?
A) substances and their properties

it all correct but the letters are wrong its

c. Thermal energy is the energy in matter due to the movement of its atoms and/or molecules.

c. The thermal energy is moving from the wrist to the ice pack.

c. Thermal energy is transferred from the warmer substance to the cooler substance.

d. Its particles lose kinetic energy and move more slowly.
thats if you go to Arkansan connection academy

number 3 is wrong is moved to a colder substance i got that one wrong

My apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Yes, the correct answer for question 3 is: "Thermal energy is transferred from the warmer substance to the colder substance."

Thermal energy is basically like the sassiness of a hot chili pepper. It's the energy that particles in a substance have due to their motion, vibration, and overall excitement. So, just like that spicy pepper, thermal energy can really heat things up!

The best description of thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. This energy is associated with the random motion of atoms and molecules within a system. The higher the temperature of a substance, the greater the average kinetic energy of its particles and therefore, the higher its thermal energy.

Thermal energy is the energy that arises from the movement of tiny particles within matter. This movement generates heat and affects the temperature of the object.
