Which of the following is NOT a good description of heat energy? A) Energy attributed to the motion of atoms and molecules that make up a material B) Energy transferred between objects at different temperatures C) Energy that can be monitored by a thermometer D) Energy that can cause a change in state as from a liquid to a gas E) Energy that is stored such as in water held at a higher level behind a dam

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer
