3
A student places a balloon in the freezer. After 10 minutes, the balloon looks smaller. What is the best explanation for this observation?
A
The air particles inside the balloon turned into liquid.
B
The air particles inside the balloon gained thermal energy and escaped through the balloon.
C
The balloon material shrank because it got cold.
D
The air particles inside the balloon lost thermal energy, moved slower, and moved closer together.
4
Which statement best compares temperature and thermal energy?
A
Temperature depends on the number of particles, while thermal energy does not.
B
Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of particles, while thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of all particles.

B
They gain thermal energy and move faster.
C
They lose mass and become smaller.
D
They gain kinetic energy and move faster.
