1. A pot of water is on the stove. It starts out at room temperature and then heats to boiling. How would the movement of water particles change from room temperature to boiling? How do you know this without measuring the temperature of the water?
The movement of water particles would increase from room temperature to boiling. This can be inferred without measuring the temperature of the water because as heat is applied to the pot of water, the kinetic energy of the water molecules increases. This increase in kinetic energy causes the water molecules to move faster and collide with each other more frequently. As a result, the overall movement and agitation of the water particles intensify, leading to the boiling process.
