Question

You accidentally drop a quarter into the hot coals of a campfire. You fish out the hot quarter with a pair of pliers and drop the quarter directly on top of a large 2 kg block of ice to cool it down. In what direction does heat flow:

There is no heat flow.
From the quarter to the block of ice

Answer 1

from the quarter to the block of ice

Step-by-step explanation:

Heat flows from higher temperature to lower temperature until temperature of both bodies are in Equilibrium .

Since block of ice has lower temperature than that of quarter. heat transfer will take from quarter to ice until both have same temperature(in other words temperature are in Equilibrium for quarter and ice)
