Students designed an experiment to determine the amount of calories in a chocolate chip cookie. A ring stand was used with a clean aluminum soda can hung from the ring that was partially filled with a known mass of water. A thermometer was placed inside the can so that it measured the temperature of the water but did not touch any part of the metal can. Once set-up was complete, an initial water temperature was taken. The cookie was then lit on fire and allowed to completely burn. A final temperature of the water was measured. Refer to the experimental set-up for calories in a chocolate chip cookie. How does this experiment allow students to measure the calories in a cookie

First, launch the video below. you will be asked to use your knowledge of physics to predict the outcome of an experiment. then, close the video window and answer the question at right. you can watch the video again at any point. part a as in the video, we apply a charge +q to the half-shell that carries the electroscope. this time, we also apply a charge –q to the other half-shell. when we bring the two halves together, we observe that the electroscope discharges, just as in the video. what does the electroscope needle do when you separate the two half-shells again? view available hint(s) as in the video, we apply a charge + to the half-shell that carries the electroscope. this time, we also apply a charge – to the other half-shell. when we bring the two halves together, we observe that the electroscope discharges, just as in the video. what does the electroscope needle do when you separate the two half-shells again? it deflects more than it did at the end of the video. it deflects the same amount as at end of the video. it does not deflect at all. it deflects less than it did at the end of the video. submit
