Question

An empty paper cup is the same temperature as the air in the room. A student fills the cup with cold water. Which of the following describes how thermal energy is transferred?

O Thermal energy is transferred from the cold water to the cup until they are at the same temperature.

O Thermal energy is transferred from the cup to the cold water until they are at the same temperature.

O Thermal energy is transferred from the cup to the cold water until the cup has no more thermal energy

O Thermal energy is not transferred between the cup and the cold water

Answer 1

Thermal energy is not transferred between the cup and the cold water.

(D) is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

An empty paper cup is the same temperature as the air in the room. A student fills the cup with cold water.

We know that,

Thermal energy :

If we rise the temperature of the object then the molecules of the object moves faster and collide to each other, which energy produced by this process it is called thermal energy.

We can say that, The thermal energy is produced by temperature of hot object.

We need to find the how thermal energy is transferred

Using given data

Here temperature is same of cup and cold water.

So, thermal energy is not transferred between the cup and the cold water because here no more thermal energy.

Hence, Thermal energy is not transferred between the cup and the cold water.

(D) is correct option.
