?
what are the units for measuring energy
joules

if you leave a cup of hot tea standing in the kitchen for a whole day, what will happen
energy will be transferred from the tea to the air until the tea is the same temperature as the air
2 of 15
which statement about evaporation is not true
when some of a liquid evaporates the liquid left is warmer than before
3 of 15
infrared radiation can travel through
empty space and transparent materials
4 of 15
when one of a piece of metal is heated
the particles vibrate more and the vibrations are passed from particle to particle
5 of 15
solids are better heat conductors than liquids or gases because
the particles are closer together in solids
6 of 15
why does cold air near an ice lolly move downward
it is colder and denser than the air further away from it
7 of 15
which statement is the best explanation for why many insulating materials contain trapped air
gases are poor conductors and they cannot transfer energy by convection if they cannot move
8 of 15
the surface of which material would reflect infrared radiation the best
white and shiny
9 of 15
which statement is correct
dark colours are good emitters and absorbers of radiation
10 of 15
what are the units for measuring power
watts
11 of 15
how can you find the power of an appliance
look for the power rating on the label
12 of 15
the efficiency of an appliance is calculated by
comparing the useful energy transferred to the total energy supplied
13 of 15
what units for energy are used on electricity bills
kilowatt-hours
14 of 15
what does 'payback time' mean
the time it takes to save enough money on energy bills to pay for a change
