Question

Let's imagine you're doing a Pan-Evaporation Approach to measure evaporation rates in your backyard. You fill up a pan with exactly 10 liters of water at noon on Monday. On Tuesday it rains at a rate of 25 milliliters per hour (0.025 liters/hour) for two hours. You check your pan at noon on Wednesday and the volume of water in the pan is exactly 9.9996 liters. What is the evaporation rate in units of liters per hour (L/hr)?

In terms of water molecules, kinetic energy is defined as the energy that a a molecule processes by virtue of being in motion. When water is heated, the kinetic energy of water molecules _________.

increase, decrease or stay the same
