Question

help

Answer 1

The temperature in the cylinder with more liquid is hotter than the temperature of the molecules in the second one. This is because when liquid is heated, it rises. This is because the molecules are working a lot faster now that the molecules are hot, and this tends to make the molecules farther from eachother. Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

thanks!

Answer 3

No problem!

I disagree

If you have two water bottles, one that is completely full and another that is half way full.

And they're both sitting outside on a counter. How does their thermal energy differ??

Answer 5

Also, for the second question, when the molecules come in contact with each other, the molecules give their heat to each other, making them almost the same temp :>

Well, the heat in the one halfway full would evaporate, correct? I mean i thought my answer was correct .-.

Answer 7

i said that the one with more water has more thermal energy than the one with a lil bit of water

That should be correct, but keep in mind the smaller the container, the less the molecules have to move, which makes this cool down faster :>

Answer 9

Okay, I see what you were trying to say and you reached the right conclusions but there were some things wrong about it which got me all confused haha

There's a few different concepts

So thermal energy does not necessarily mean it has a higher temperature

Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy due to the motions of all the tiny particles

Temperature is the average kinetic energy

Thermal energy also takes mass into consideration. So yes, since there is more water in the second cylinder, it's going to have more kinetic energy and thus more thermal energy

But it's not because the liquid is more hotter (or has a higher temperature). You could be boiling a pot of water, but a huge glacier would have more thermal energy (even though that pot of water is so much hotter than a big solid block of ice)

If that makes sense

Answer 10

so whats happens when they meet?

Answer 11

What do you think happens? Don't the two objects reach the same temperature eventually- reaches equilibrium.

Do you know which way heat is transferred?

Is it from the warmer object to the cooler one? Or from the cooler object to the warmer one?

Answer 12

hot to cold

Answer 13

Exactly!

Answer 14

okay thx

Answer 15

You're welcome!

(also thanks to @sophia333 for answering first otherwise I was too lazy to even answer ;b )
