Sarah heated two cubes of aluminum to 5 °C. Cube A has a volume of four cubic centimeters. Cube B has a volume of two cubic centimeters. If the cubes do not touch each other, which of these statements is true?


F. Cube A has a higher temperature than cube B.


G. Cube B has a higher temperature than cube A.


H. Cube A has more thermal energy than cube B.


I. Cube B has more thermal energy than cube A.

Respuesta :

Answer:

H. Cube A has more thermal energy than cube B.

Explanation:

Since both cubes are at 5 °C. It means both cubes have same temperatures.

This is because temperature is independent of the amount of system.

Thermal energy however is a function of the amount of the system. thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of particles of matter. Since Cube A is larger, it means that cub A has a higher thermal energy than cube B.

The correct option is;

H. Cube A has more thermal energy than cube B.
