Question

There are a few important things to know about modeling energy.

First, modeling energy is:
a) The process of visualizing energy
b) The process of making energy visible
c) The process of representing energy
d) The process of measuring energy

When something is hot, its particles are:
a) Vibrating
b) Stationary
c) Both vibrating and stationary
d) Neither vibrating nor stationary

When energy or heat are moving, it always moves from the:
a) Hotter object to the cooler object
b) Cooler object to the hotter object
c) Objects with similar temperatures
d) Objects with different temperatures

Eventually, two objects that are at different temperatures that are in contact will reach:
a) Equilibrium
b) Maximum heat
c) Minimum heat
d) An unstable state

Answer 1

Modeling energy is about representing energy. Hot particles vibrate, and heat moves from hotter objects to cooler ones until equilibrium is reached.

Step-by-step explanation:

Modeling energy is the process of representing energy, so the correct answer to the first question is c) The process of representing energy. When something is hot, its particles are vibrating; therefore, for the second question, the correct answer is a) Vibrating. Energy, specifically in the form of heat, always moves from the hotter object to the cooler object, which addresses the third question with the answer being a) Hotter object to the cooler object. When two objects at different temperatures come into contact, they will eventually reach equilibrium, making the answer to the fourth question a) Equilibrium.
