Question

A scientist is adding thermal energy to a sample of water. Using the Law of Conservation of Energy, what can you predict will happen?

a. The water will increase in temperature beyond the amount of thermal energy that is added, because more energy will be created in this experiment. 

b.The water will increase in temperature in proportion to the amount of thermal energy that is added, but some will be lost to the environment. 

c.The water will not change its temperature because energy cannot be created or destroyed. 

d.The water will decrease in temperature as thermal energy is added, because it cannot create more energy or matter.

Answer 1

C. The water will not change it's temperature because energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Answer 2

Answer: A

A) THE WATER WILL INCREASE IN TEMPERTURE BEYOND THE AMOUNT OF THERMAL ENERGY THAT IS ADDED, BECAUSE MORE ENERGY WILL BE CREATED IN THIS EXPERIMENT.

Explanation: PLEASE CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG BUT IM PRETTY SURE IT IS A BEACUSE WHEN YOU MIX TWO DIFFRENT TEMPATURES TOGETHER IT WILL CREATE SOME TYPE OF RECATION INCLUDING MORE ENERGY.
