Thermal Energy Quiz

Mason puts his cold Coke Slurpee on to the metal roof of his mom's car. Describe the heat transfer that takes place.

• Heat is transferred from the car's roof into the Slurpee and increases the temperature of the Slurpee.

• Heat is transferred from the Slurpee into the roof and increases the temperature of the roof.

• The Slurpee stays the same temperature until it is completely gone.

• The roof doesn't change temperature due to the fact that it sits in the sun all day.
