a sealed bottle of water was taken from a refrigerator and left in a warm kitchen. explain in the terms of its molecules what happened to the thermal energy and temperature of the water in a few minutes

Explanation:

The sealed bottle serves as an open system for the water molecules, thus heat energy can be exchanged with its surroundings. When the bottle is placed in a warm environment, there would be a gradual increase in the thermal energy of the molecules of water due to a change in the temperature of its surroundings.

Thus, the molecules of water closer to the boundary of the bottle absorbs heat, becomes lighter and changes position. This gradual process continues until all molecules attains an average temperature which equals that of the surroundings of the bottle.

Therefore, both the thermal energy and temperature of the water increases.

what question you dont ask a question

explanation:

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.
