Multiple Choice

You take a cold can of soda off of a counter top. The counter top underneath the can feels colder than the rest of the counter. Which of the following explains this occurrence?

• The cold has been transferred from the soda to the counter.

• There is no heat energy left in the counter beneath the can.

• Some heat has been transferred from the counter to the soda.

• The heat beneath the can moves away into other parts of the countertop.
