How does the thermal energy of a swimming pool compare to the thermal energy of a lake at the same temperature?

A.
Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. The lake is more spread out, so it contains fewer total particles than the swimming pool. Therefore, the thermal energy of a lake is less than that of a swimming pool.

B.
Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy and potential energy of the particles in a substance. The lake is larger, so it contains more total particles than the swimming pool. The thermal energy of a lake is greater than a swimming pool because the lake is larger.

C.
Thermal energy is the total potential energy of the particles in a substance. The lake is more spread out, so it contains fewer total particles than the swimming pool. Therefore, the thermal energy of a lake is less than that of a swimming pool.

D.
Thermal energy is the total potential energy of the particles in a substance. The lake is larger, so it contains more total particles than the swimming pool. The thermal energy of a lake is greater than a swimming pool because the lake is larger.

Sagot :

It is simply a question of the amount of water contained, a lake is much bigger than a pool. The energy ratio is just the ratio of the masses of water concerned. Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of the particles in a substance .The lake is larger, so it contains more total particles than the swimming pool. The thermal energy of a lake is greater than a swimming pool because the lake is larger.
