Answer 1

Energy transfers from the milk because when you pour the milk in, the coffee will be colder than it was before. Therefore, the milk makes the impact and which is why the energy is transferred from it.

Answer 2

Energy transfers from the milk

Step-by-step explanation:

The kinetic energy of the particles in cold milk is low. They are all moving slowly. When you pour cold milk into hot coffee, the milk and coffee particles start to collide When a high-energy coffee particle hits a low-energy milk particle, energy transfers. The coffee particles slow down, and the cup of coffee cools down.
