Which experimental setup would let a student investigate the connection between kinetic energy and temperature?
placing one drop of food coloring in a cup with 50 mL of water at 10°C; placing two drops of food coloring in a second cup with 100 mL of water at 40°C
Placing one drop of food coloring in a cup with 50 mL of water at 10°C; placing two drops of food coloring in a second cup with 50 mL of water at 10°C

The correct experimental setup would be placing one drop of food coloring in a cup with 50 mL of water at 10°C; placing two drops of food coloring in a second cup with 100 mL of water at 40°C. This setup allows the student to compare the effects of different temperatures on the movement and spreading of the food coloring, which is related to the kinetic energy and thus the temperature of the water.
