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.

Consider a 1000 w iron whose base plate is made of 0.5 cm thick aluminum alloy 2024-t6 (ρ = 2770 kg/m3 and cp = 875 j/kg°c). the base plate has a surface area of 0.03 m2. initially, the iron is in thermal equilibrium with the ambient air at 22°c. assuming 90% of the heat generated in the resistance wires is transferred to the plate, determine the minimum time needed for the plate temperature to reach 200°c.
