    Two plastic cups are placed one inside the other. A small spacer keeps the two cups separated. Hot water is poured into the inner cup and a lid is put on top, as shown. Which statement is correct?

  • The bench is heated by convection from the bottom of the outer cup.
  • The lid reduces the energy lost by convection.
  • There is no thermal conduction through the sides of either cup.
  • Thermal radiation is prevented by the small air gap.

    Which statement describes what happens as ice at 0°C starts to melt to become water?

  • Energy is absorbed and the temperature remains constant.
  • Energy is absorbed and the temperature rises.
  • Energy is released and the temperature remains constant.
  • Energy is released and the temperature rises.
  • 3. 
    Evaporation occurs when molecules escape from a liquid surface into the air above it. During this process the temperature of the liquid falls. Why does the temperature of the liquid fall?

  • The molecules in the vapour expand because the pressure is less.
  • The molecules left in the liquid have more space to move around.
  • The molecules move more slowly when they escape into the air.
  • The molecules with the highest energies escape into the air.
