Question 3 (1 point)
Which of the following best explains the scenario below?
On a summer morning, Mrs. Houser walks barefoot across her paved driveway with
no problem. However, later that afternoon she steps barefoot onto the same
driveway and must quickly run off because the bottoms of her feet feel like they are
burning. (Lesson 3.02-3.04 Thermal Energy)
Choose the best explanation for this scenario:
As the temperature increased
during the day, the particles in the pavement
moved slower and the thermal energy decreased.
As the temperature increased during the day, the particles in the pavement
moved faster and the thermal energy decreased.
As the temperature increased during the day, the particles in the pavement
moved faster and the thermal energy increased.
As the temperature increased during the day, the particles in the pavement
moved slower and the thermal energy increased.
Pls help ASAP

Answer 1

Answer:

C. As the temperature increased during the day, the particles in the pavement  moved faster and the thermal energy increased.

Explanation:

During the day, the temperature increases and the average kinetic energy of its particles increases. With the increase in kinetic energy, particles start vibrating faster that occupies more space. This increased molecular motion results in the generation of more thermal energy.

Therefore, the thermal energy of an object increases as its temperature increases.

Hence, the correct answer is "C."
