Kinetic energy transfer Quick Check science 8q1/thermal energy
A student conducts an investigation to show the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy and one phase of matter what would the graph of this relationship look like
A diagonal line
an s-shaped curve
a U-shaped curve
a horizontal line
The graph of the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy in one phase of matter would be a diagonal line. As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of particles in the substance also increases linearly.
To determine which student is correct in ranking the potential energies of the states of matter, we need to understand the relationship between potential energy and the states of matter.
In general, the potential energy of a substance increases as it changes from a gas to a liquid, and from a liquid to a solid. This is because intermolecular forces become stronger as the substance transitions from gas to liquid, and then to a solid state.
Looking at the rankings provided by each student:
- Henry: Gas < Liquid < Solid
- Jasmine: Gas < Solid < Liquid
- Lucas: Solid < Gas < Liquid
- Tasha: Solid < Liquid < Gas
Comparing these rankings to the general understanding of potential energy and the states of matter, it is clear that Tasha's ranking is correct.
Therefore, Tasha is the student who correctly ranks the potential energies of the states of matter.
To determine which student is correct in ranking the potential energies of states of matter, we need to understand the relationship between potential energy and the states of matter.
Potential energy can be thought of as the stored energy that an object possesses due to its position or condition. In the context of states of matter, potential energy can be related to the strength of intermolecular forces or the arrangement of particles.
Looking at the table provided, we see that each student has ranked the states of matter differently in terms of potential energy. Let's analyze their rankings:
Henry: Gas < Liquid < Solid
Jasmine: Gas < Solid < Liquid
Lucas: Solid < Gas < Liquid
Tasha: Solid < Liquid < Gas
From these rankings, we can observe a pattern:
- Henry and Tasha rank solid as having the highest potential energy, whereas Jasmine and Lucas rank gas as having the highest potential energy.
- Henry ranks liquid as having intermediate potential energy, while Tasha ranks liquid as having the lowest potential energy.
- Jasmine ranks solid as having the lowest potential energy, while Lucas ranks solid as having intermediate potential energy.
To determine which student is correct, we need to consider the general principles related to potential energy and states of matter:
- In general, the potential energy of particles is highest in the gas state, followed by the liquid state, and then the solid state.
- This is because the particles in gases have the highest degree of freedom and move with the most energy, while particles in solids are closely packed and have the least energy.
Based on these principles, we can conclude that Jasmine's ranking is correct: Gas < Solid < Liquid.
Therefore, the correct student is Jasmine.
