SCIENCE CH 2 TEST

QuestionAnswer
VOCAB: a measure of how hot or cold something is TEMPERATURE
VOCAB: a group of atoms joined together in a particular way MOLECULE
VOCAB: a number that summarizes a set of data. This can be computed by adding all the numbers in a list and then dividing by the number of numbers in the list. AVERAGE
VOCAB: to reach a conclusion using evidence and reasoning INFER
VOCAB: the energy that an object has because it is moving KINETIC ENERGY
VOCAB: the moment when 2 objects hit each other COLLISION
VOCAB: set of interacting parts forming a complex whole SYSTEM
VOCAB: when something becomes different over time CHANGE
VOCAB: a balanced state in which a system is stable, such as when two or more samples are at the same temperature EQUILIBRIUM
VOCAB: when something stays mostly the same over time STABILITY
VOCAB: to move from one object to another or one place to another TRANSFER
When an object warms up, the kinetic energy of the object: Increases
When an object cools down, the kinetic energy of the object: Decreases
When an object cools down, the molecules’ movement: Slows down
When an object warms up, the molecules’ movement: Speeds up
What causes the difference in temperatures? The change in speed/kinetic energy of the molecules
How do air conditioners cool the air? By slowing down the speed of molecules inside a building
What happens to the energy removed from the air inside a room by an air conditioner? It is pushed outside
When a fast moving molecule collides with a slow moving molecule, what happens to the kinetic energy? The kinetic energy is transferred to the slow moving molecule
What is the result when energy is transferred from a warm forehead to a cool washcloth? The energy will transfer to the washcloth causing it to increase in temperature
Why do molecules change speed? Molecules speed up when they get energy from other molecules and slow down when they give energy to other molecules
How do molecules in a substance get energy? They get molecules from other molecules
What does this graph tell you about the temperature of Sample A over time? Sample A’s temperature decreases
What can you infer about what the temperature graph of Sample B would look like? Sample B’s temperature increases
Before coming into contact, the molecules of Sample A has ______________ kinetic energy (Than/as) the molecules of Sample B. more, than
Before coming into contact, the molecules of Sample A has a ________________ temperature (Than/as) the molecules of Sample B. higher, than
Once the two substances merge, what will happen to the temperature of both substances? They will even out to be the same
What is Newton's Cradle? A toy with spheres hanging from a frame
Why do the spheres in the middle of a Newton’s Cradle stay in place? They are blocked by the spheres next to them
How do molecules experience a change in kinetic energy during a collision? Energy is transferred from one molecule to the other
How is kinetic energy transferred in a a Newton’s Cradle? The energy is transferred from one sphere to another when they collide
When 2 substances merge and reach a balanced temperature, they are in: Equilibrium
Use the following vocabulary to answer this question: Why does the transfer of energy between two substances stop? -Equilibrium -Kinetic Energy -Collision -Molecule -Transfer Through the collision of molecules, the warmer substance will transfer kinetic energy to the cooler one. Once the substances reach equilibrium and have the same average kinetic energy, the energy transfer stops.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
