Question
A metal cube is sitting on a table. It is stationary. Is any kinetic energy (energy of motion) present?(1 point)
Responses
No, because the cube is not moving.
No, because the cube is not moving.
Yes, because inside the cube the atoms are always vibrating in place.
Yes, because inside the cube the atoms are always vibrating in place.
No because the cube is at room temperature.
No because the cube is at room temperature.
Yes, because the potential energy is being changed constantly to kinetic energy.

The correct response is:
**Yes, because inside the cube the atoms are always vibrating in place.**
Even though the metal cube as a whole is stationary, the individual atoms within the cube are in constant motion due to thermal energy, which means they possess kinetic energy related to that motion.
