Question

which set of thermometers matches the relative temperatures of the two samples shown below? sample a sample b enter the answer choice letter. choice a a b choice b a b choice c a b choice d a b

Explanation:

To determine the correct thermometer set, we analyze the particle motion in Sample A and Sample B. The particles in Sample B have greater kinetic energy (more vigorous motion) than those in Sample A, meaning Sample B is hotter. A hotter sample should have a higher thermometer reading (more red liquid). Among the choices, only Choice D shows Thermometer B (for Sample B) with a higher reading than Thermometer A (for Sample A), matching the relative temperatures.

Answer:

D
