Question

You stir a cup of hot chocolate with a spoon. Why does the spoon keep its shape in the drink?

Answer 1

a because the spoon is a solid and the hot chocolate is a liquid.So that means that spoon moves slower than a liquid.

                                                                                                        

Answer 2

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As we know that spoon is a solid substance and in solids particles are held by strong intermolecular forces of attraction.

As a result, these particles only vibrate at their mean position but they do not move or collide with each other.

On the other hand, particles of hot chocolate will have high kinetic energy due to which they will move rapidly and collide with each other.

So, when we stir a spoon in a cup of hot chocolate then heat energy from the hot chocolate will be released into the surroundings. This will make the particles of hot chocolate to come closer to each other.

Thus, we can conclude that the spoon keep its shape in the drink because the spoon's particles do not move while the hot chocolate's particles move close to one another.
