How does the thermal energy of a swimming pool compare to the thermal energy of a lake at the same temperature?

a.
thermal energy is the total potential energy of the particles in a substance. the lake is larger, so it contains more total particles than the swimming pool. the thermal energy of a lake is greater than a swimming pool because the lake is larger.

b.
thermal energy is the total kinetic energy and potential energy of the particles in a substance. the lake is larger, so it contains more total particles than the swimming pool. the thermal energy of a lake is greater than a swimming pool because the lake is larger.

c.
thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. the lake is more spread out, so it contains fewer total particles than the swimming pool. therefore, the thermal energy of a lake is less than that of a swimming pool.

d.
thermal energy is the total potential energy of the particles in a substance. the lake is more spread out, so it contains fewer total particles than the swimming pool. therefore, the thermal energy of a lake is less than that of a swimming pool.

i think it is b, but can someone me if im correct or not?

Aleaky 10-kg bucket is lifted from the ground to a height of 15 m at a constant speed with a rope that weighs 0.7 kg/m. initially the bucket contains 45 kg of water, but the water leaks at a constant rate and finishes draining just as the bucket reaches the 15-m level. find the work done. (use 9.8 m/s2 for g.) show how to approximate the required work by a riemann sum. (let x be the height in meters above the ground. enter xi* as xi.) lim n → ∞ n (9.8)(45−3 xi) i = 1 δx express the work as an integral. 0 dx evaluate the integral. (round your answer to the nearest integer.) j
