A student places a metal spoon at room temperature in a cup of hot cocoa. Which is the best prediction for what happens to the temperature of the spoon and how energy is transferred?

• The spoon will get colder because thermal energy will be transferred from the spoon to the hot cocoa through conduction when particles collide.

• The spoon will get colder because thermal energy will be transferred from the spoon to the hot cocoa through convection when particles move.

• The spoon will heat up because thermal energy will be transferred from the hot cocoa to the spoon through conduction when particles collide.

• The spoon will heat up because thermal energy will be transferred between the hot cocoa and the spoon as radiation.

What do the arrows show?

• Convection currents. The particles in the liquid move freely, so when the liquid is heated, it rises, cools, and begins to sink again. This results in thermal energy transfer.

• Convection currents. The particles in the liquid touch other particles and cause thermal energy to be transferred without particle movement.

• Radiation. The particles in the liquid absorb energy and then release this energy in all directions.

• Conduction. The particles in the liquid move freely, so when it is heated they rise and then drop as they cool. This results in thermal energy transfer.
