Homework 8

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Metals are both good heat and electrical conductors due to   Looseness of outer electrons in metal atoms  
🗑
A good heat conductor is a   Poor Insulator  
🗑
Your toes feel warmer on a rug than on a tile floor because the rug   Is a better insulator than tile  
🗑
If you were caught in freezing weather with only a candle for warmth, you would be warmer in   An igloo  
🗑
A good insulator   Slows heat transfer  
🗑
The process of convection occurs in   Fluids  
🗑
If a volume of air is warmed, it expands. If a volume of air expands, it   Cools  
🗑
Blow on your hand with your open mouth and you feel the warmth of your breath. Pucker your lips so your breath expands as you blow and your breath is   Cooler  
🗑
Convection currents in the air near a seashore are produced by   Unequal heating of land and water  
🗑
The average frequency of radiant energy is directly proportional to the   Kelvin temperature of the emitter  
🗑
Objects that are good radiators generally   Absorb radiation relatively well  
🗑
The higher the temperature of an object, the   Higher frequency it radiates  
🗑
Which emits the highest frequency of radiation?   A blue-hot star  
🗑
The higher the frequency of a wave, the   Shorter the wavelength  
🗑
Cold water will warm to room temperature faster in a   Black Pot  
🗑
An object will normally be a net radiator of energy when its temperature is   Higher than its surroundings  
🗑
If air were a better conductor than it is, nighttimes on Earth would be   Noticeably cooler  
🗑
A good absorber of radiation is a   Good emitter of radiation  
🗑
A good reflector of radiation is a   Poor absorber of radiation  
🗑
Suppose you want to save energy and you're going to leave your warm house for a half hour on a cold day. You should turn the thermostat   Off  
🗑
The Sun's radiant energy is composed of shorter wavelengths than the Earth's because the Sun   Has a higher temperature than the Earth  
🗑
Newton's law of cooling applies to objects that are   Warming and Cooling  
🗑
A can of soft drink will cool faster if placed in what part of a refrigerator?   Freezer compartment  
🗑
A red-hot piece of iron will cool faster in a   Cool room  
🗑
If the greenhouse effect on Earth were absent, Earth's average temperature would be about   -18 degrees C  
🗑
Glass and the atmosphere are largely transparent to   Visible Light  
🗑
Glass in a florist's greenhouse blocks radiation of   Low frequency  
🗑
The interior of a greenhouse emits long-wavelength radiation due to its   Temperature  
🗑
The Earth loses heat mainly by   Radiation  
🗑
When evaporation occurs in a dish of water, the molecules left behind in the water   Result in lowered temperature, are less energetic, and have decreased average speeds  
🗑
Evaporation is a cooling process because   The more energetic molecules are able to escape the liquid.  
🗑
Sublimation is a change of phase from solid to gas without   Going through the liquid phase  
🗑
The dew that forms on a cold soda can when taken from a refrigerator is due to   Condensation  
🗑
A hot dog pants   To help evaporation occur in its mouth and bronchial tract  
🗑
Pigs wallow in mud mainly to   Cool themselves by evaporation  
🗑
The process of boiling water tends to   Cool the water  
🗑
Increased air pressure on the surface of hot water tends to   Prevent boiling  
🗑
n the mountains, water boils at   A lower temperature than at sea level  
🗑
When salt is introduced to water, the temperature at which freezing occurs is   Lowered  
🗑
If you want to cook eggs by boiling them while in the mountains, then compared with cooking at sea level you should   Boil them for a longer period of time  
🗑
Melting and freezing are   Opposite processes, changes of phase, and processes of molecular transfer.  
🗑
Which would burn the most, 100 degrees of water or 100 degrees of steam?   Steam  
🗑
When a gas is changed to a liquid phase, the gas   Releases energy  
🗑
We are warmed by condensation because water molecules in the air striking our bodies   Transfer some of their kinetic energies to us  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
