Responses
A because hotter particles can not slow downbecause hotter particles can not slow down
B because colder particles have more potential energybecause colder particles have more potential energy

The correct response is:
**C** because kinetic energy is transferred in the collisions of particles.
Temperature changes occur due to the transfer of kinetic energy between particles. In a system, heat flows from the region of higher temperature (where particles have more kinetic energy) to the region of lower temperature (where particles have less kinetic energy) until thermal equilibrium is reached.
