Question: Adding thermal energy to a cup of water can cause particles to do which of the following? Select all that apply. Multiple select question. Disable choicecross out A) move faster Disable choicecross out B) get farther apart Disable choicecross out C) move slower Disable choicecross out D) remain constant Disable choicecross out E) get closer together
The correct answers are: **A) move faster** **B) get farther apart** **Explanation:** When thermal energy is added to a cup of water, the water molecules gain kinetic energy. This causes them to: - **Move faster** (A) - **Get farther apart** (B), especially if enough energy is added to change the water from liquid to gas (evaporation). The other choices are incorrect because: - **Move slower (C)**: Adding energy makes particles move faster, not slower. - **Remain constant (D)**: Their movement does not remain constant; it increases with energy. - **Get closer together (E)**: Adding thermal energy generally causes them to spread out.
