Question
When a solid sample was heated, its temperature increased but it did not melt. 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.
D The temperature of the knife would be 14°C because the knife represents roughly one third of
the overall mass.
