When a copper cooking pan was put in contact with a steel cooking pan, the temperature of the copper pan started to decrease. Which best explains this change?

the copper pan was warmer than the steel pan

the steel pan was warmer than the copper pan

A bottle full of liquid was placed in a freezer. The next day, the bottle was filled with solid ice. Which best describes what happened?

the type of matter in the bottle stayed the same, but the state of matter changed

the type of matter in the bottle and the state of matter stayed the same

the type of matter in the bottle and the state of matter changed

the type of matter in the bottle changed, but the state of matter stayed the same

When you hold a metal coat hanger in a camp fire to roast a marshmallow, the coat hanger might get too hot to hold. Why might the coat hanger get too hot?

Metal atoms vibrate with more energy when they get hot, and they collide with atoms near them, which makes the neighboring atoms vibrate, too.

The heat radiates along the coat hanger.

The heat builds up near the flame until it can't hold it anymore and then moves along the coat hanger.

Since metals melt in fire, they react very strongly to fire and get hot easily.

After cooking an egg in boiling water, you cool the egg by putting it into a bowl of cold water. Which of the following explains the egg's cooling process?

Energy is transferred from the egg to the water.

Temperature is transferred from the egg to the water.

Energy is transferred from the water to the egg.

Cold moves from the water into the egg.
