Multiple Choice; Choose the best answer.

1. A branch of physics that studies the relationships between heat and other forms of
energy.
a. electronics c. nuclear physics
b. fluid Mechanics d. thermodynamics

2. Two objects are in the condition where they are in thermal contact and there is no net
exchange of energy.
a. thermal conduction c. thermal equilibrium
b. thermal energy d. thermal expansion

3. The exchange of energy between two objects because of differences in their
temperatures.
a. flame c. light
b. heat d. radiation

4. A law of thermodynamics stated that if the two objects are separately in thermal
equilibrium with a third object, then the two objects are in thermal equilibrium with each
other.
a. Avogadro’s law c. Stefan’s law
b. Boyle’s law d. Zeroth's law

5. A thermometer consisting of liquid e.g. mercury or alcohol, that expands into a glass
capillary tube, means to change its volume when its temperature rises. The reading is
zero at freezing point of water and 100 at boiling point of water, the distance between
marks is divided into 100 equal segments.
a. celsius scale thermometer c. kelvin scale thermometer
b. fahrenheit scale thermometer d. all of the above

6. A phenomenon observed as the temperature of the substance increases, its volume
increases.
a. thermal conduction c. thermal equilibrium
b. thermal energy d. thermal expansion

7. The change in any dimension is proportional to the temperature change, thus
changes in length are equal to the product of constant α, original length, and changes in
temperature. What is constant α?

, a. boltzmann’s constant c. internal energy
b. coefficient of linear expansion d. thermal expansion

8. When hot water is poured in ordinary glass, It is created by different thermal
expansion on one side becomes hot and expands while the other side is at room
temperature causing a glass to break.
a. thermal conduction c. thermal equilibrium
b. thermal energy d. thermal stress

9. A 10 litres of gasoline is poured in a plastic container during the hottest hour of the
day having a temperature of 36°C. What is the volume of the gasoline in a container
during coldest night having a temperature of 27°C, if the average coefficient of volume
−4
expansion for gasoline is 9.6 x 10 ?
a. 9.6136 litres c. 9.8136 litres
b. 9.7136 litres d. 9.9136 litres

10. The only liquid that has unusual behavior of contracting or decreasing its volume as
its temperature increases from 0°C to 4°C opposing thermal expansion phenomenon.
a. alcohol c. oil
b. fuel d. water

11. If contained, it occupied all the space inside the container uniformly with pressure
depending on size of container, temperature, and its amount.
a. fluid c. liquid
b. gas d. water

12. A statement that under the same conditions of temperature and pressure, equal
volumes of different gases contain an equal number of molecules.
a. Avogadro’s law c. Stefan’s law
b. Boyle’s law d. Zeroth's law

13. When the gas is kept at a constant temperature, its pressure is inversely
proportional to its volume.
a. Avogadro’s law c. Stefan’s law
b. Boyle’s law d. Zeroth's law

14. When the pressure of the gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly
proportional to the temperature.
