During heat transfer, thermal energy always transfers from:

• a hot to a cold object

• a cold to a hot object

• a hot to a hot object

• a cold to a cool object

A metal spoon is used to stir hot chocolate in a ceramic mug. Which statement describes the direction of heat transfer that occurs?

• from the spoon to the mug

Isabella filled a glass with warm water. She measured the temperature, and it was 30°C. She left the glass on a table in a room that was 20°C. A few hours later, she measured the water temperature again, and it was 24°C. Which BEST explains why the water temperature changed?

• Energy in the air removed heat from the water.

• Heat energy in the water was destroyed by the glass.

• Heat energy in the water was transferred to the cooler air.

• Energy used by evaporation caused the water temperature to decrease.
