  D) At their highest point, grasshopper B is moving faster than grasshopper A.
  E) At their highest point, grasshopper A has more gravitational potential energy than grasshopper B.

Question 2

A thermally isolated system is made up of a hot piece of aluminum and a cold piece of copper, with the aluminum and the copper in thermal contact. The specific heat capacity of aluminum is more than double that of copper.

  B) the copper
  C) Neither one; both of them experience the same size gain or loss of heat.
  D) It is impossible to tell without knowing the masses.
  E) It is impossible to tell without knowing the volumes.
