Question

which of the following has the most thermal energy? (mass is same for all) *
apple at 27 °c
pear at 20 °c
tomato at 15 °c
orange at 24 °c

Explanation:

Thermal energy depends on mass and temperature. Given that the mass is the same for all, the object with the highest temperature has the most thermal energy. Among \(27^{\circ}C\), \(20^{\circ}C\), \(15^{\circ}C\), and \(24^{\circ}C\), \(27^{\circ}C\) is the highest.

Answer:

Apple at \(27^{\circ}C\)
