Heat and Internal Energy

Physics ⇒ Heat and Thermodynamics

Heat and Internal Energy starts at 7 and continues till grade 12. QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Heat and Internal Energy. How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take. When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 7

True or False: Heat always flows from a colder object to a hotter object.
True or False: Heat can be transferred in a vacuum by conduction.
True or False: Internal energy depends on both the temperature and the number of particles in a substance.
True or False: The higher the temperature of an object, the greater its internal energy.
