False

Winds and weather patterns are good examples of radiation currents.

False

In a gas kept at a constant temperature, all molecules move with the same speed.

False

In a vacuum flask, the vacuum helps in reducing heat loss due to radiation.

False

The process of changing from a gas to a liquid is evaporation.

False

The process of changing from a liquid state to a solid state is condensation.

False

The process of changing from a liquid to a gas is condensation.

False

The temperature of a system must increase when heat energy is added.

False

The three common phases are mass, density, and volume.

False

The total of all energies in a substance is its temperature.

False

If the internal energy of a volume of air at 10 degrees Celsius is doubled, its temperature will then be 20 degrees Celsius.

False

A bimetallic strip consists of two strips of the same material welded together.

False

A calorie is a common unit of force.

False

A good emitter of heat is also a good reflector of heat.

False

A temperature scale that has 100 degrees between the boiling point and the freezing point of water is the Fahrenheit scale.

False

Air high in the atmosphere that plunges downward tends to cool.

False

Gases don't expand very much when heated.

False

Heat transfer by means of atoms moving from place to place is conduction.

False

Heat transfer by means of electrons colliding with other electrons in a metal is convection.

False

If all the friction could be eliminated in a heat engine, its efficiency would be 100%.

False

A good reflector of heat is a poor absorber of heat.

True

All objects above 0 K radiate energy.

True

Efficiency in a heat engine is increased when there is a greater difference in input and output temperatures.

True

Heat is the energy that moves from one object to another because of a temperature difference.

True

Heat that is transferred to us from the sun is transferred by radiation.

True

It is possible to totally convert a given amount of mechanical energy to heat.

True

Liquids usually expand when heated.

True

Materials that are poor heat conductors are insulators.

True

Sometimes evaporation takes place at the bottom of a liquid. This process is boiling.

True

Systems left alone then to move to a state of great entropy.

True

The amount of heat required to change the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by 1 degree is its specific heat capacity.

True

The average kinetic energy of molecules in a substance is related to temperature.

True

The entropy of a system measures the state of disorder of the system.

True

The rate of cooling an object is proportional to the temperature difference between the object and its surroundings.

True

Water contracts when heated from 0 degrees C to 4 degrees C.

True

When steam changes to water at 100 degrees Celsius, energy is released.

True

When work is done by a system on something else, the temperature of the system decreases.
