Answer 1

The correct response is:

Thermal energy will flow from the oven into the turkey until they reach equilibrium at 100°C.

When the turkey, which is at a temperature of 45°C, is placed in an oven at 185°C, thermal energy will transfer from the higher temperature (oven) to the lower temperature (turkey) until they reach thermal equilibrium. Since the oven is initially at a temperature well above that of the turkey, the turkey will absorb heat from the oven until it eventually reaches a maximum temperature, which could approach 100°C, depending on the duration of the heat transfer and the mass of the turkey. However, because the oven is turned off immediately, it will start to lose heat, but for the initial moment, heat flows to the turkey until equilibrium is reached.
