Beaker a contains 100 ml of water at a temperature of 25 °c. beaker b contains 100 ml of water at a temperature of 60 °c. which of the following statement is true?
a. beaker a has lower kinetic energy than beaker b
b. beaker a has higher thermal energy than beaker b
c. beaker a has higher potential energy than beaker b
d. beaker a has lower potential energy than beaker b
e. beaker a has higher kinetic energy than beaker b

Only option A is correct. Beaker A has lower kinetic energy than beaker B.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Beaker 1 has a volume of 100 mL at 25 °C

Beaker B has a volume of 100 mL at 60 °C

Thermal energy = m*c*T

Thermal energy beaker A = 100 grams*4.184 * 25°C

Thermal energy beaker B = 100 grams *4.184*60°C

⇒ Since both beakers contain the same amount of water, the thermal energy depends on the temperature.

Since beaker B has a higher temperature, it has a higher thermal energy than beaker A

When we heat a substance, its temperature rises and causes an increase in the kinetic energy of its constituent molecules. Temperature is, in fact, a measure of the kinetic energy of molecules.

This means beaker B has a higher kinetic energy than beaker A

Potential energy doesn't depend on temperature. this means the potential energy of beaker A and beaker B is the same.

a. Beaker A has lower kinetic energy than beaker B. This is correct.

b. Beaker A has higher thermal energy than beaker B. This is false.

c. Beaker A has higher potential energy than beaker B. This is false.

d. Beaker A has lower potential energy than beaker B. This is false

e. Beaker A has higher kinetic energy than beaker B. This is false.

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!
