A student has two identical glasses of milk except that the temperature of the milk in one glass is 40ºF and the temperature of the milk in the other glass is 80ºF.
The milk at which temperature has more thermal energy?
The milk at 40ºF has more thermal energy.
The milk at 80ºF has more thermal energy.
Both the milk at 40ºF and the milk at 80ºF have the same amount of thermal energy.
Neither the milk at 40ºF nor the milk at 80ºF has any thermal energy.

The picture shows the arrangement of particles of a substance in three different states. Which of the following must be true?
Particles on the left move faster than the particles on the right
Particles on the right will spread out to fit whatever container they are in
Particles on the left and in the middle are locked in place
Particles in the middle are affected by electric and magnetic fields
The picture shows a glass partly filled with water and ice cubes. An explanation why water droplets have formed on the outside of the glass could be:
Melting: The ice in the glass melts and forms water on the outside of the class
Evaporation: The liquid in the glass evaporates, causing water to form on the outside of the class
Condensation: When warm air comes in contact with the cold glass, the particles slow down, turning the gas particles into liquid water on the outside of the glass
Freezing: The ice causes the gas particles outside the glass to turn to ice on the outside of the glass
The heating curve for water is shown on the diagram. What is happening at point D on the graph?
Water is boiling
water is freezing
water is melting
the sublimation of water
