Question
Simone has a mug of hot tea at a temperature of 90°C. She sets the mug on a counter in a room with an air temperature of 30°C. What is most likely to happen to the temperature of the hot tea?(1 point)
Responses

The air will transfer thermal energy into the tea and will continue to transfer energy until they are both 90°C.
The air will transfer thermal energy into the tea and will continue to transfer energy until they are both 90°C.

Answer 1

The air will transfer thermal energy into the tea, and the energy transfer will continue until the tea is at room temperature.

Answer 2

u sure?

Answer 3

Yes, I am sure. When an object with a higher temperature is in contact with an object with a lower temperature, thermal energy will transfer from the hotter object to the cooler object until they reach thermal equilibrium (the same temperature). Therefore, in this case, the hot tea will transfer thermal energy to the air in the room until it reaches room temperature.

Answer 4

ARE YOU SURE?

Answer 5

Yes, I am sure. The hot tea will transfer thermal energy to the air in the room until it reaches room temperature.
