Question

1. ana conducted an experiment on temperature change. she filled the four containers seen here with water and placed them in direct sunlight. ana measured the temperature after 30 minutes. which container most likely had the warmest water?

Explanation:

To determine which container has the warmest water after 30 minutes in sunlight, we consider the surface area exposed to the sun. A larger surface area allows more solar energy absorption, increasing temperature. Container D (the shallow dish) has the largest surface area among the options, so it absorbs more heat, leading to warmer water.

Answer:

D. The container labeled D (shallow dish - like container)
