Question

Temperature is a measure of kinetic energy. Every substance is made up of particles. The temperature of a substance is related to the kinetic energies of these particles. If a substance is hot, its particles tend to have a large amount of kinetic energy.The particles in a substance have kinetic energy because they are moving. The particles are constantly in motion, even if the substance does not appear to be moving.Select all of the statements that are true about the rubber ball shown above.

Answer 1

To accurately determine the true statements about the rubber ball, I would need to know the specific statements you're considering. However, based on your description of the relationship between temperature, kinetic energy, and particle motion, here are some general true statements that could apply to a rubber ball:

1. The particles in the rubber ball are in constant motion. - This is true regardless of whether the ball is stationary or in motion.

2. The temperature of the rubber ball affects the kinetic energy of its particles. - A rubber ball at a higher temperature will have its particles moving with greater kinetic energy compared to the same ball at a lower temperature.

3. If the rubber ball is cold, its particles will have lower kinetic energy compared to when it is hot. - This is true because temperature is directly related to the average kinetic energy of the particles.

4. When the rubber ball is dropped, it will rebound due to the elastic potential energy converted to kinetic energy. - This is also true, as rubber has properties that allow it to deform and then return to its original shape.

If you provide specific statements, I can help you assess their validity based on the principles of kinetic energy and particle motion.
