What happens when a cold spoon is placed in hot coffee?
(1 point)
The coffee's molecules have more potential energy, so they transfer
thermal energy to the spoon
The spoon's molecules have less kinetic energy, so they transfer
thermal energy to the coffee.
The coffee's molecules have more kinetic energy, so they transfer
thermal energy to the spoon
The coffee's molecules have the same kinetic energy as the spoon's
molecules, so there is not transfer of thermal energy.
