The substance that has greater thermal energy between an iceberg and a cup of hot tea.
Answer to Problem 3TE
Between an iceberg and a cup of hot tea, a cup of hot tea has greater thermal energy.
Explanation of Solution
The thermal energy of a system is a measure of the total energy in it due to its temperature. So, a system at a higher temperature will have higher thermal energy. In contrast, a system at a lower temperature will have low thermal energy.
The freezing point of ice is
Conclusion:
Therefore, between an iceberg and a cup of hot tea, a cup of hot tea has greater thermal energy.
