I think it will be B. Hope it helps :)
The sample with the lowest AVERAGE kinetic energy is
the coolest one.
The sample with the lowest TOTAL kinetic energy depends on
not only the temperature of the samples, but also on their size,
since each molecule in the sample has kinetic energy.
Answer:
2: Moved faster and spread farther apart.
Explanation:
Restate the question: The movement of the liquid in a thermometer shows changes in temperature. An increase in temperature indicates the molecules in the liquid.
1. moved slower and closer together.
2.moved faster and spread farther apart.
3. contracted in size when heated.
4. expanded in size when heated.
Water that is cold does not have the energy to bounce of the walls, instead it is like a group of animals they group together for the warmth of the others when it gets really cold.
So it cant be 1.
We all know that power lines sag lower on a hot day (or a tire for a car, it has increases pressure). but those are different types of molecules.
So that rules out 3 and 4.
Which leaves you with 2.
The increase in temperature causes the water molecule to gain energy and move quickly, which resulted in water molecule that are farther apart and an increase in water volume.
Hope it helps!
