Question

ischell burns her tongue when she takes a sip of hot coffee from her mug. which part of this example represents heat?
o the thermal energy moving from the coffee to her tongue
o the thermal energy moving from her tongue to the coffee
o her coffee
o her tongue

Explanation:

Heat is the transfer of thermal energy. Thermal energy moves from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature. Here, the coffee is hotter than the tongue. So, thermal energy moves from the coffee (higher - temperature body) to the tongue (lower - temperature body), and this transfer of thermal energy is heat.

Answer:

the thermal energy moving from the coffee to her tongue
