Base your answer to the question on the diagram above, which shows insulated styrofoam cups of water connected by an aluminum bar. The thermometers show the temperatures of the cups A and B at the beginning of a heat flow experiment. Over the next 15 minutes, which changes would most likely occur?
The temperature in cup A will decrease and the temperature in cup B will increase.
The temperature in cup A will decrease and the temperature in cup B will decrease.
The temperature in cup A will increase and the temperature in cup B will increase
The temperature in cup A. will increase and the temperature in cup B will decrease.
