ana poured equal amounts of water into four bowls. then she put the bowls in the sun for different amounts of time. she recorded the temperature of the water in each bowl after its time was up. which bowl should have the warmest water?

a bowl 1
b bowl 2
c bowl 3
d bowl 4

Explanation:

When an object (here, water in a bowl) is exposed to a heat source (the sun), the longer it is exposed, the more heat energy it absorbs, leading to a higher temperature. Among the four bowls, Bowl 4 was in the sun for 40 minutes, which is the longest duration. So, it should absorb the most heat and have the warmest water.

Answer:

D. Bowl 4
