When you double the amount of coffee, you also double the _______________.
a
thermal energy
b
neither is doubled
c
temperature
B. Thermal energy
Hope this helps, I took the test and got 100!
Thank you for informing me. You are correct. Doubling the amount of coffee would also double the thermal energy. Good job on getting a 100 on the test!
To answer this question, we need to understand the relationship between the amount of coffee and the outcome being described. In this case, the question is asking what happens when you double the amount of coffee.
The missing word in the question is "temperature." When you double the amount of coffee, you also double the temperature.
To understand why this is the correct answer, we need to consider a principle of heat transfer called specific heat capacity. Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by a certain amount.
In this case, coffee has a specific heat capacity, which means that it requires a certain amount of heat energy to raise its temperature. When you double the amount of coffee, you are essentially doubling the mass of the coffee, so it will require twice as much heat energy to raise its temperature.
Therefore, when you double the amount of coffee, the temperature also doubles. This is because the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature is directly proportional to the mass of the coffee.
So, the correct answer is: c) temperature.
