Test Description: Particle motion thermal contraction/expansion
Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) According to the kinetic-molecular theory, particles of matter
A
have different shapes.
B
are in constant motion.
C
are always fluid.
D
have different colors
2) According to the kinetic-molecular theory, which substances are made of particles?
A
all matter
B
all matter except solids
C
gases only
D
liquids only
3) If a substance is cooled, what happens to its particles?
A
they speed up and move farther apart
B
they slow down and move closer together
C
they slow down and move farther apart
D
the speed up and move closer together
4) What is expansion?
A
The transfer of thermal energy between materials by the collisions of particles.
B
Is a decrease in a materials volume when temperature decreases .
C
An increase in the mass of a substance.
D
An increase in a materials volume when temperature increases.
5) What is contraction?
A
The movement of particles.
B
The movement of fluids in a cycle because of convection
C
A material through which thermal energy does not flow easily.
D
A decrease in a materials volume when its temperature decreases
6) A substance is heated up and then allowed to cool down. What happens to the particles during this time period?
A
The particles move fast and expand, then slow down and compress.
B
The particles move faster and expand, then slow down and contract.
C
The particles slow down and grow larger in size.
D
The particles collide more frequently and become more dense.
7) Many objects, such as train tracks and road joints, are specifically designed to allow extra space for
A
thermal energy
B
insulators
C
specific heat
D
thermal expansion
8) The liquid in a thermometer rises when it is placed in the hot water because
A
loses heat from the hot water and contracts.
B
it gains heat from the hot water and expands.
C
the liquid is boiling.
D
the surrounding air is too warm.
9) When objects contract upon cooling
A
volume increases and density decreases.
B
volume decreases and density increases.
C
volume increases and density increases.
D
volume decreases and density decreases.
10) Alex noticed that a metal door that sticks on hot days does not stick when it cools off at night. This is because the metal contracts as it cools. The reason for this is that, as the metal cools, the particles:
A
merge together to form fewer atoms
B
slow down and move closer together
C
speed up and move farther apart
D
become smaller and take up less space
