A slice of cheese is 3.0 Celsius and is sitting on a dish that is 3.0 Celsius if the dish and cheese are in a refrigerator that is set to 3.0 Celsius, which of the following statement is true would it be heat will not blow because there is no temperature difference between the substances or the temperature of the air and the refrigerator will decrease, and the temperature of the cheese will increase. The temperature of the will increase and the temperature of the dish will decrease or heat will flow from the air in the refrigerator, the cheese and the dish.

1 answer

In this scenario, since the cheese, the dish, and the air in the refrigerator are all at the same temperature of 3.0 Celsius, there is no temperature difference between them. Heat transfer occurs only when there is a temperature difference; heat flows from a warmer object to a cooler one.

Therefore, the correct statement is: Heat will not flow because there is no temperature difference between the substances.

The other statements imply a flow of heat, which wouldn't occur due to the equal temperatures.
