Internal energy is normally measured in units of
a) calories.b) joules.c) Both of these.d) None of these.
Explanation:Calories and joules, like miles and meters, are different units for the same thing; 1 calorie = 4.18 joules.

When heat is added to a system, the temperature of the system
a) rises.b) may or may not rise.c) falls.d) may or may not fall.

When heat is added to a system, the temperature of the system
a) rises.b) may or may not rise.c) falls.d) may or may not fall.
Explanation: The first answer is correct only if the substance doesn't change phase. Adding heat to a cube of 0º ice, for example, doesn't raise its temperature.

Matter does not contain
a) internal energy.b) heat.c) It contains both.d) It contains neither.

Matter does not contain
a) internal energy.b) heat.c) It contains both.d) It contains neither.
Explanation: By definition, heat is the internal energy that transfers due to a temperature difference, not the internal energy itself.

The specific heat capacity for aluminum is more than twice that of copper. If equal quantities of heat are given to equal masses of aluminum and copper, the metal that more rapidly increases in temperature is
a) aluminum.b) copper.c) Actually both will increase at the same rate.d) None of these.

The specific heat capacity for aluminum is more than twice that of copper. If equal quantities of heat are given to equal masses of aluminum and copper, the metal that more rapidly increases in temperature is
a) aluminum.b) copper.c) Actually both will increase at the same rate.d) None of these.
Explanation: The material with the least specific heat capacity has the least "thermal inertia" and changes the most.

Water at 4ºC will sink to the bottom of a pond because
a) it will not freeze there.b) it benefits fish and other life there.c) like a rock, it is denser than surrounding water.d) of the presence of microscopic ice crystals.
Explanation: The first two choices are consequences of sinking 4ºC water, not reasons for sinking.
