Question

For each of the scenarios below, determine how the total mass of the described object or system is changing, and place in the appropriate bin. For each of the scenarios below, determine how the total mass of the described object or system is changing, and place in the appropriate bin. Increasing Mass Decreasing Mass Unchanging Mass A closed, thermally isolated A glass full of ice cubes melting A hot stone cooling down box containing a controlled exothermic nuclear reaction A compressed spring A car battery being charged A closed, thermally isolated slowly relaxing box containing a controlled exothermic chemical reaction

Explanation / Answer

increasing mass: car battery being charged; glass full of ice cubes melting

decreasing mass: compressed spring slowly relaxing, a hot stone cooling down

unchanged: closed thermal isolated box containing a controlled exothermic nuclear reaction, closed thermally isolated box containing a controlling exothermic chemical reaction
