Question

Determine which of the following statements is true. a. heat is a type of electromagnetic energy transferred from a body at a higher temperature to a body at a lower temperature. b. temperature is a measure of the average potential energy of particles of matter. c. none of these d. heat is a measure of the average potential energy of particles of matter.

Answer 1

Heat is a type of electromagnetic energy transferred from a body at a higher temperature to a body at a lower temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

It cannot be option B as the temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles of matter and it cannot be option D as heat is a measure of the movement of particles in the matter. So the correct answer is option A

Answer 2

b. temperature is a measure of the average potential energy of particles matter.

Explanation: Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of particles of matter, not potential energy. It represents the degree of hotness or coldness of an object or substance. Heat, on the other hand, refers to the transfer of energy between objects or systems due to a temperature difference.
