Group of answer choices

when the soup and the bowl have the same temperature

when the soup is cooler than the air around the bowl.

when the soup is cooler than the bowl.

when the soup is twice the temperature of the bowl.

Answer 1

If the hot soup is poured into a cold bowl, the soup will stop transferring thermal energy to the bowl when the soup and bowl have the same temperature.

The explanation for the same is provided below in detail:-

• The movement of thermal energy takes place from a hot substance to a cold substance.
• This means that the movement of thermal energy only takes place in one direction, that is from hot to cold.
• Therefore, the only scenario in which the soup will stop transferring thermal energy to the bowl is when the soup and bowl have the same temperature.
• Hence, restricting any movement of thermal energy.
