Unit 9 Topic 1 Honors

Students put the same amount of water into four beakers and heat them to 60 °C. They then place each beaker in different locations in the classroom. After 5 min, the students measure the temperature of each beaker of water. The results are shown in the bar graph below.

At which location do the particles of the water have the most energy after 5 min?

• on the teacher’s desk

• by the window

• near the door

• in the back corner

• They move less freely.

• They move closer together.

• Their kinetic energy increases.

• They move from place to place.
