MULTIPLE SELECT QUESTION

Two beakers are filled with different substances, but at the same temperature. The particles of substance A are more massive than those of substance B. Which particles are moving faster, and how can you tell?
A. The particles in A and B have the same average speed, since they are at the same temperature.
B. The particles in beaker A have a higher average speed than those in B, because their higher mass makes them harder to stop.
C. The particles in beaker B have a higher average speed than those in A, because their lower mass makes them move faster.
D. The particles in beaker B must be moving faster to compensate for their lower mass and still have the same average kinetic energy as those in A.

A teacher performs a demonstration for their class using a metal ball and ring like the one in the picture. The teacher asks the students to explain what happens to the ball from step 1 to step 3. Which explanation is the best?
The particles in the ball gained kinetic energy when the temperature increased, and this caused them to spread out and increase the size of the ball.
The particles in the ball gained kinetic energy when the temperature increased, and this caused each particle to increase in size, so the ball expanded.
The particles in the ball lost kinetic energy to the air when the temperature increased, which caused the particles to spread out and make the ball larger.
The heat added particles to the ball, which made the ball increase in size.

Thermal expansion joints are often used in regions that have extreme changes in temperature throughout the year. These joints help reduce damage caused by thermal expansion. Consider the images of thermal expansion joints on a bridge during two different seasons.
Predict which image shows thermal expansion joints during a hot summer and which image shows thermal expansion joints during a cold winter. Explain your answer.
