Suppose you have a car which gets 51 miles per gallon of gasoline in the city. Suppose you take the car to Canada. Then you fill it up at a gas station in Canada. How many kilometers should the car be able to drive on city streets on 1.7 liters of gasoline? (Note: 1 mile = 1.609 km, 1 gallon = 3.78541 L)
Which statement about temperature is TRUE?
A small block of aluminum sitting in a beaker of boiling water for several hours will have a different
temperature than the boiling water.
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance.
Temperature moves from colder objects to hotter objects.
A cup of boiling water and a bucket of boiling water will have different temperatures because they
have different volumes.
