For an experiment, you place 15 g of ice with a temperature of -10 degrees C into a cup and label it A. You also place 25 g of ice at the same temperature into another cup and label it B. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The average kinetic energy of the ice in cup A is less than that in cup B.
B. The average kinetic energy of the ice in cup A is greater than that in cup B.
C. The average kinetic energy of the ice in cup A is equal than that is cup B.
D. The average kinetic energies of the ice in cup A and the ice in cup B are not comparable.
I think it's either B or D.
The answer is C (who here is an anime fan? X3 )
What is temperature? The answer to that gives you the answer here.
To determine which statement is true, we need to understand the concept of kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion.
In this scenario, both cups A and B contain ice at -10 degrees Celsius. Since both samples have the same initial temperature, we can assume that the average kinetic energy of the ice in cup A would be the same as that in cup B.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. The average kinetic energy of the ice in cup A is equal to that in cup B.
It is worth noting that the mass of the ice does not affect the average kinetic energy in this case. The average kinetic energy is determined by the temperature, not the mass of the object.
yay!!!!! X3
not tellin' ya the answer
but you need to keep thinking
