Jill
Thermal equilibrium is kinetic because the thermal energy moves _____ to _____ until both have reached the same _______. Tell me all 3
hot to cold
temperature
I fell down the stairs at my house. When did I(the system) have the most TOTAL amount of energy? (Potential + kinetic)
The whole time. It never changed.
The system has the most energy at every point because energy cannot be created nor destroyed, so the total energy remains constant.
