SCIENCE CH 2 TEST
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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. |
