I think this one's B. energy and work are both measured in joules.
Yes sirrr but at least you know now
Very high-energy objects and events spit out very high-energy photons, so the instrument you need in order to detect them is the X-ray telescope. <em>(C) </em>
Inconveniently, X-ray telescopes only work when they're up in orbit, because X-rays get seriously soaked up in Earth's atmosphere, and most of them never make it down to the surface ... (lucky for us !) .
The option that takes place as water cycles from the bottom of the pot toward the top is that A. thermal energy is transferred.
As the pot gets warmer and warmer, the heat flows everywhere inside the pot, ultimately reaching the top, and heating the water at the top as well. There is no chemical energy here, and molecules don't gain thermal energy, it is just transferred to the top of the pot.
