I can't see the diagrams you're referring to, but I can help you understand the concept of heat flow.
Heat flows from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature. If Block A is at a higher temperature than Block B when they touch, heat will flow from Block A to Block B. Conversely, if Block B is at the higher temperature, heat will flow from Block B to Block A.
If you describe the situation (which block is hotter), I can help you determine the correct answer!
Question
Two friends bought phones that cost different amounts but had identical batteries. After using the phones for a while, both friends had to turn them off to let the batteries cool. This table shows how the temperature of each battery changed over 5 minutes.

Put responses in the correct input to answer the question. Select a response, navigate to the desired input and insert the response. Responses can be selected and inserted using the space bar, enter key, left mouse button or touchpad. Responses can also be moved by dragging with a mouse.
During this time, thermal energy was transferred from Response area to Response area.

To answer the question, the correct phrase would be:
During this time, thermal energy was transferred from each battery to the surroundings.
So, you would select those responses and place them in the respective slots.

The correct response is: Mass is a measure of the matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on an object.
Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, and it remains constant regardless of location, while weight is dependent on the gravitational pull acting on that mass.
