i'm in 5th grade and i really need some help. in science, we got this science packet that's really hard. it's really hard. the question is:
Jarrod measured the temperatures of two containers of water with two different thermometers. The water in Container A was at 80 degrees celcious. The water in container B was at 5 degrees celcious. The water in container A has........
A- more average kinetic energy than the water in container b
B-less average kinetic energy than the water in container b
C-the same average kinetic energy with the water in container b
D-less thermal energy than the water in container b
I THINK IT'S D, BUT I'M NOT SURE. PLEASE HELP!
HI, well i agree with you think about it 80 to 5. what also helps is school notes:) you don't start ttaking REAL notes tell high school or midlle school. all 5th grade is to propare you for middle high school!
To determine the correct answer, you need to understand the concepts of temperature, kinetic energy, and thermal energy.
First, let's define some terms:
- Temperature: It is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance. It is commonly measured using a thermometer and is usually given in degrees Celsius (°C).
- Kinetic energy: It is the energy possessed by moving particles. The higher the temperature, the greater the average kinetic energy of the particles.
- Thermal energy: It is the total energy of all the particles in a substance, including both kinetic and potential energy.
Now, let's analyze the question. We have two containers of water, A and B, with different temperatures measured using different thermometers. The water in container A is at 80°C, while the water in container B is at 5°C.
The question asks whether the water in container A has more average kinetic energy, less average kinetic energy, the same average kinetic energy, or less thermal energy compared to water in container B.
To compare the average kinetic energy, we need to consider the temperature since it is a measure of average kinetic energy. As the temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the particles increases as well.
In this case, the water in container A is at a higher temperature (80°C) than the water in container B (5°C). Therefore, we can conclude that the water in container A has more average kinetic energy than the water in container B.
Hence, the correct answer is A: more average kinetic energy than the water in container B.
