Water is boiling in a clear pot, as shown in the picture. how do the water molecules closest to the burner compare to the water molecules closest to the surface of the liquid? they are more spread out and moving faster than those at the surface. they are closer together and moving faster than those at the surface. they are more spread out and moving slower than those at the surface. they are closer together and moving slower than those at the surface.

The correct answer is "They are more spread out and moving faster than those at the surface".

Explanation:

The water molecules closest to the burner move faster and are more dispersed because the heat transfer to the water there is greater than at the surface. This causes the water to be more spread out and move faster due to the temperature difference. The higher the temperature, the faster the molecules move and tend to occupy a larger volume.

Have a nice day!

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.

the answer to this is proletariats.

hope this : )
