question 5 of 28
when you heat water on a stove, how does its energy change?
a. its thermal energy increases.
b. its thermal energy decreases.
c. its electromagnetic energy decreases.
d. its electromagnetic energy increases.

Explanation:

When water is heated on a stove, heat is transferred to the water. Thermal energy is the total kinetic and potential energy of the particles in a substance. As heat is added, the motion of water molecules (kinetic energy) increases. Electromagnetic energy is related to electromagnetic waves (like light, radio waves etc.) and is not relevant in this context of heating water on a stove.

Answer:

A. Its thermal energy increases.
