Aditya is stacking some cups. The diagram above shows the cups before they touch each other. After the cups have been touching for a while, which of the two bottom cups will be cooler, and why?
The smaller bottom cup will be cooler than the larger bottom cup, because less energy has to transfer for the molecules to reach the same temperature as the molecules of the top cup.
Both cups will be the same temperature, because both of the top cups had the same amount of energy to transfer and the molecules in the bottom cups start with the same energy.
The larger bottom cup will be cooler than the smaller bottom cup. It started with more total energy, so less energy had to transfer for both cups in the stack to reach the same total energy.
The larger bottom cup will be cooler than the smaller bottom cup, because the energy that transferred to it was spread out over more molecules.
