Heat always moves from:

• A cooler object to a warmer one

• A warmer object to a cooler one

• Between objects of the same temperature

• Randomly in all directions

What is the movement of heat from a warmer object to a cooler one called?

• Heat conduction

• Heat transfer

• Thermal equilibrium

• Heat radiation

As heat moves into an object, the object becomes:

• Cooler

• Warmer

• Unchanged in temperature

• Frozen

As heat moves out of an object, the object becomes:

• Warmer

• Cooler

• Unchanged in temperature

• Hotter

Why does a freshly made cup of coffee lose heat when sitting on a counter?

• The coffee generates heat spontaneously.

• The air around it is cooler than the coffee.

• The counter is heating up the coffee.

• The coffee is gaining heat from the surrounding air.

What happens to an ice cube when it is sitting on a table?

• It gains heat from the air, causing it to melt.

• It loses heat to the air, causing it to freeze more.

• It remains unchanged because the air temperature is the same.

• It generates its own warmth, keeping it solid.
