Question

Seema left a hot, closed cup of coffee on the table in a cold room for a few hours. What can she expect to observe?

Answer 1

Answer: Seema can expect to observe the cup of coffee turning cold.

Explanation:

•A transfer of heat takes place between the hot cup of coffee and the cold room.

•This happens because the average kinetic energy of the particles in the coffee decreases.

•It will reach an ambient temperature.

•The energy will flow from a higher level to a lower level.
