The table below shows the temperatures of several objects of the same mass and material. If you held two of the objects together so they are touching, what would happen to the thermal energy?

• Thermal energy will transfer from the block to the ball until the block increases in temperature.
• Thermal energy will transfer from the block to the box until the box decreases in temperature.
• Thermal energy will transfer from the ball to the box until they come to the same temperature.
• Thermal energy will transfer from the box to the ball until they come to the same temperature.

Taylor and her friend Alex were heating up food in a microwave and it became too hot to eat, so the plate was placed on the counter to cool. Which of the following statements accurately identifies how thermal energy was transferred?

• Thermal energy was transferred from the air to the food because air has a lower density than the food.
• Thermal energy was transferred from the food to the air because food has a higher density than the air.
• Thermal energy was transferred from the food to the air because the temperature of the air was lower than the food.
• Thermal energy was transferred from the air to the food because the temperature of the food was greater than the air.
