Question

While Felicia is stirring her hot coffee with a metal spoon, she gets called away. She sets the coffee on the desk and then forgets to come back for it before going home for the weekend. How long will conduction between the spoon and the hot coffee occur?

Answer 1

(D)--conduction will occur until the spoon and coffee are at the same temperature
Hope it helps

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Conduction is defined as the process in which heat flows from a hotter object to a colder object.

For example, when a metal spoon is placed in a hot coffee then heat from the coffee transfers to the spoon due to conduction.

This transfer of heat will continue to occur until the temperature of both coffee and spoon becomes equal.

That is, the spoon and coffee will reach at thermal equilibrium with each other according to zeroth law of thermodynamics.
