temperature of some water and found it was 17C. Then he put the water in the freezer
and recorded the temperature two hours later. It had fallen to -11C. What was the change
in temperature in two hours?






3. During an electronics experiment in your laboratory, you measure the voltage at terminal
A on your newly designed circuit. You measure -12 volts. You check the same terminal
after making a small change to the circuit and this time you measure -18 volts. What was
the voltage difference between the two readings?






4. What is the change in temperature a customer in a grocery store experiences
