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.

The student left the washers in the beaker of water for 15 minutes and then carefully removed them. The student placed a thermometer on the metal to take the temperature before adding them to the cup of water. The student lowered the washers into the water in the cup.

Based on the experiment described, we can determine the changes in kinetic energy for each situation:
1. **The water in the beaker as it is being heated** - **Increase in Kinetic Energy** (The water is being heated, which increases the kinetic energy of the water molecules.)
2. **The washers after being placed in the beaker of water** - **Increase in Kinetic Energy** (The washers, being at room temperature, will absorb heat from the hot water, increasing their kinetic energy.)
3. **The water in the cup after the washers are placed in it** - **Decrease in Kinetic Energy** (When the hot washers are placed in the cup of room-temperature water, they will transfer some heat to the water, raising the water's temperature and decreasing the kinetic energy of the washers.)
4. **The washers after being placed in the cup of water** - **Decrease in Kinetic Energy** (After transferring heat to the cup of water, the washers would cool down slightly, resulting in a decrease in their kinetic energy.)
Here’s how you can categorize them:
- **Increase in Kinetic Energy**:
- The water in the beaker as it is being heated
- The washers after being placed in the beaker of water
- **Decrease in Kinetic Energy**:
- The water in the cup after the washers are placed in it
- The washers after being placed in the cup of water
