A system has both thermal energy and chemical potential energy. According to the law of conservation of energy, which statement describes the total
energy of this system?
O A. It will decrease over time as chemical potential energy is
transformed into thermal energy.
B. It will decrease as thermal energy is transferred out of the system.
C. It will remain constant because the total amount of thermal energy
plus chemical potential energy stays the same.
OD. It will increase as thermal energy is created from chemical
potential energy

It may seem strange that the selected velocity does not depend on either the mass or the charge of the particle. (for example, would the velocity of a neutral particle be selected by passage through this device? ) the explanation of this is that the mass and the charge control the resolution of the device--particles with the wrong velocity will be accelerated away from the straight line and will not pass through the exit slit. if the acceleration depends strongly on the velocity, then particles with just slightly wrong velocities will feel a substantial transverse acceleration and will not exit the selector. because the acc
