⦁ Place these objects in order by the amount of thermal energy they contain. Place the number in the blank provided below each image so that they are ordered from LEAST thermal energy (1) to greatest thermal energy (5). Assume that the iceberg and the lake have similar masses.

HELP PLEASE!!!

Vocaloid · Answer

Because the lake and iceberg have so much more mass than the beakers, they get ranked above the three beakers.

Now, within the three beakers, thermal energy is proportional to temperature, so organize them from lowest to highest temperature. Similarly, rank the iceberg and lake according to low to high temperature.

Okay so we can put the lake at 5 having the most thermal energy, then the iceberg, then beaker with the ice at 3, then water at 2, and then the boiling water at 1 having the least thermal energy?

Vocaloid · Answer

Almost, the ice beaker should have the lowest, then the liquid water, then the boiling water at 3 (going from low to high temp)

Then you are correct, iceberg at 4 and lake at 5
