Question
A student observed that the outside of a cup got warmer when it was filled with a hot beverage. The student then performed an investigation to observe the effect a hot object would have on room-temperature water.
• The student started by placing a thermometer and 30 milliliters (mL) of water inside a cup.
• The student also boiled 150 mL of water in a beaker and then removed the beaker from the heat source.
• The student then tied metal washers to a string and took their temperature to ensure they were at room temperature by placing a thermometer on the metal washers.
• The student then lowered the washers into the beaker of water as shown in Figure 1.
Based on the experiment in the passage, read each statement and decide whether the kinetic energy of the particles will increase or decrease.
Drag the answers to the correct boxes.

Here are the answers regarding the kinetic energy of the particles based on the experiment:
1. **The water in the beaker as it is being heated** - **Increase in Kinetic Energy**
2. **The washers after being placed in the beaker of water** - **Increase in Kinetic Energy**
3. **The water in the cup after the washers are placed in it** - **Decrease in Kinetic Energy** (assuming the water in the cup absorbs heat from the washers, the temperature of the water may decrease slightly, but the water may also warm if the washers are hot enough)
4. **The washers after being placed in the cup of water** - **Decrease in Kinetic Energy** (assuming the washers lose heat to the cooler water in the cup)
Feel free to adjust based on specific conditions or details from the lab setup that may suggest different outcomes!
