Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The internal energy of a substance is directly proportional to its temperature. Therefore, if the metal is heated until it has twice the internal energy, its temperature will also double. The initial temperature is 10 degrees C, so doubling that gives 20 degrees C. However, this is not one of the choices. The only option close to this is 293 degrees C, which is the equivalent of 20 degrees Celsius plus 273 (absolute zero).
