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 set of thermometers, 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. So the thermometer for B should show a higher temperature (more red liquid) than A.

• Choice A: A has more red than B (incorrect, as B should be hotter).
• Choice B: A and B have the same amount (incorrect, since B is hotter).
• Choice C: A and B have the same (incorrect, B is hotter).
• Choice D: B has more red than A (correct, matches B being hotter).

Answer:

D
