c. feels warmer.
d. two of the above

1. which of the following statements about temperature is true?

a. temperature measures heat.
b. temperature measures kinetic energy.

d. temperature is the same thing as thermal energy.

1. if a bucket full of water and a cup full of water have the same temperature, then the water in the

Explanation:

1. For question 1: Thermal energy depends on mass, temperature, and specific heat. Given equal mass, a higher temperature means greater thermal energy (assuming same material, or even if not, the other options are incorrect: higher temp doesn't equal higher specific heat, and "feels warmer" is subjective).
2. For question 2: Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles. Heat is transfer of thermal energy, and thermal energy is total energy of particles, so only option b is correct.
3. (Note: The question 3 is cut off, so no answer can be provided for it.)

Answer:

1. a. has greater thermal energy.
2. b. Temperature measures kinetic energy.
