When you double the amount of coffee, you also double the _______________.
a
neither is doubled
b
thermal energy
c
temperature
B. Thermal energy
Hope this helps! I took the test and I got 100!!
b
thermal energy
Great job! Well done!
To find the answer to this question, you need to understand the relationship between the amount of coffee, thermal energy, and temperature. Let's break it down:
When we talk about doubling the amount of coffee, we essentially mean increasing the quantity of coffee by two times its original amount.
Now, let's consider the options:
a) We cannot determine if 'a' is doubled without further information, as it could refer to any variable or property that may or may not be affected by doubling the amount of coffee. Therefore, 'a' is not the answer.
b) Thermal energy refers to the amount of energy within a substance due to the motion of its particles. When you double the amount of coffee, the number of particles and, consequently, the thermal energy increase. Therefore, b) thermal energy is the answer.
c) Temperature, on the other hand, is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. Doubling the amount of coffee does not necessarily change the average kinetic energy of the particles or the overall temperature. Therefore, c) temperature is not the answer.
In conclusion, when you double the amount of coffee, you also double the thermal energy (option b).
