(The charge-to-mass ratios for electrons and protons are −1.7588×1011 C/kg and 9.5788e7 C/kg , respectively. Note that since the charge-to-mass ratios are given to five-digit accuracy, your answer may differ from the accepted ratio. Round your answer to at least five significant figures.)

What has happened to the average molecular kinetic energies of the atoms in the sample and why? A Kinetic energy remained the same because potential energy decreased B Kinetic energy remained the same because potential energy increased C Kinetic energy decreased because the temperature increased D Kinetic energy increased because the temperature increased A spoon, a fork, and a knife are stacked on top of each other overnight. The temperature of both the fork and spoon is 21°C the next morning. According to thermal equilibrium, what can be predicted about the temperature of the knife? A The temperature of the knife is also 21°C because equilibrium has been reached between all three objects. B The temperature of the knife could only be determined through measurement. C The temperature of the spoon and fork are both conducted to the knife giving it a resulting temperature of 42°C.
