Question

A high school student makes a large pot of hot chocolate for her friends. Once it is warm enough, she pours a little bit of the hot chocolate into a mug so that she can taste it.
Which option correctly assesses the thermal and average kinetic energy in the scenario?
Select all that apply.

The hot chocolate in the large pot and the hot chocolate in the mug have the same amount of average kinetic energy.

The hot chocolate in the large pot has more thermal energy than the hot chocolate in the mug.

The hot chocolate in the large pot and the hot chocolate in the mug have the same amount of thermal energy.

The hot chocolate in the large pot has more average kinetic energy than the hot chocolate in the mug.

Answer 1

the hot chocolate in the large pot has more therma energy than the hot chocolate in the mug

Answer 2

Answer:

The hot chocolate in the large pot has more thermal energy than the hot chocolate in the mug.

The hot chocolate in the large pot has more average kinetic energy than the hot chocolate in the mug.

Explanation:

Thermal energy is defined as the energy posses by an object because of kinetic energy of atoms present in it.

These atoms moves in a great pace or more rapidly when heat is transferred to them hence more the heat more will be the kinetic energy of the material.

In this case, hot chocolate is in large pot and thus has more temperature than the other mug.

Which explains it has more kinetic energy as well as more thermal energy.
