HELP NOW PL A pail of water is the same temperature as a lake. Comepare the amount of thermal energy of water in the lake and the water in the pail.

The amount of thermal energy, the energy of motion of all the particles in a substance, will be significantly higher in the lake because the lake contains a massive number of water molecules and particles in comparison to the pail. Thermal energy accounts for the combined energy of every particle in a substance, and because the lake has way more particles than the pail, its thermal energy will be much higher.

a and b because with the other three, they simplify to something else.
