Question

It is a hot summer day, and Miguel wants to cool off. He decides to make a root beer float. He pours root beer into a mug and adds a scoop of vanilla ice cream. What thermal energy transfer occurs?

A. Thermal energy radiates out from the ice cream
B. Thermal energy moves from the ice cream to the root beer by convection
C. Thermal energy moves from the root beer to the ice cream by conduction
D. Thermal energy stays with root beer by induction

Answer 1

The answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thermal energy moves from the root beer to the ice cream by conduction because the ice cream is touching the root beer and the root beer is warmer than the ice cream and heat transfers to cooler temperatures and conduction occurs when two temperatures are touching and transferring thermal energy that way.
