A) Antimatter has been hypothesized to exist but has never actually been detected. B) An antielectron (positron) is identical to an ordinary electron except it has a positive charge. C) Every ordinary particle has a corresponding antiparticle. D) When a particle and its antiparticle meet, the result is mutual annihilation that turns all of the mass into energy.
During the course of a demonstration the professor is called away. When he returns he finds a beaker of water that was at room temperature is now at a slightly higher temperature. There is a stirring rod on the desk and a cigarette lighter. The professor can assume that the temperature increase is due to
A. heat added to the system. B. either heat added or mechanical work done. C. mechanical work done on the system.
