You are given a huge 10 liter bucket filled with boiling hot soup and a small soup cup filled with the same boiling hot soup. Which molecules are moving faster and which has the greatest amount of internal energy?   A. the molecules in the bucket are moving faster than the molecules in the cup; and the soup in the bucket has more internal energy. B. the molecules in the cup and the bucket are moving at the same speed whilst the soup in the bucket and cup also has the same internal energy. C. the molecules in the cup and the bucket are moving at the same speed whilst the soup in the bucket also has more internal energy. D. the molecules in the cup are moving faster than molecules in bucket but the soup in the bucket has more internal energy.
