Question

Two bran muffins are sitting on a table at room temperature.

One is a large bran muffin, the other a small bran muffin.
Which of the following is a TRUE statement about these muffins?
Select one:
a. The large bran muffin contains more heat energy.
b. The small bran muffin contains more heat energy.
c. The atoms that make up the large bran muffin are moving more rapidly.
d. The atoms that make up the small bran muffin are moving more rapidly.

Answer 1

a. The large bran muffin contains more heat energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

I recently learned in my science lesson (i'm in 6th grade), that the larger an object is, the more heat energy it has compared to a smaller object at the same temprature.\

thanks

Answer 2

The statement that is true is a. the large bran muffin contains more heat energy. This statement holds true because of the equation E=mc2. E= Energy, m=mass and c=the speed of light. Although both muffins are at room temperature, the larger will theoretically have more heat energy because it has more mass.
