Question

Joshua fills one large container with cold water Then he fills a small container with hot water and red food coloring, and seals it with a lid. Next, he puts the small container into the large container and removes the lid of the small container. He observes the red colored water from the small container rising up to the top of the cold water. Which two statements explain why this happens?(1 point)
Responses

because the hot water is less dense than the cold water
because the hot water is less dense than the cold water

because the hot water has the same density as the cold water
because the hot water has the same density as the cold water

because the hot water molecules move as fast as those of cold water
because the hot water molecules move as fast as those of cold water

because the hot water molecules move faster than those of cold water
because the hot water molecules move faster than those of cold water

because the hot water is more dense than the cold water
because the hot water is more dense than the cold water

5 answers

The correct statements are:

1. because the hot water is less dense than the cold water
2. because the hot water molecules move faster than those of cold water
When hot water is added to cold water. In which direction does the heat energy move?(1 point)
Responses

No heat energy moves, as it all remains in the hot water.
No heat energy moves, as it all remains in the hot water.

Equivalent amounts of heat energy move in both directions.
Equivalent amounts of heat energy move in both directions.

The heat energy moves from the cold water into the hot water.
The heat energy moves from the cold water into the hot water.

The heat energy moves from the hot water into the cold water
The correct response is: The heat energy moves from the hot water into the cold water.

Heated gases have lower kinetic energy and higher density.

Heated gases have higher kinetic energy and decreased density.
Heated gases have higher kinetic energy and decreased density.

Heated gases have lower kinetic energy and lower density.
Heated gases have lower kinetic energy and lower density.

Heated gases have higher kinetic energy and higher density.
Heated gases have higher kinetic energy and higher density.
The correct response is: Heated gases have higher kinetic energy and decreased density.
