Question

select all the correct answers. a pot of water is heated over a fire, and then frozen peas are added to the hot water. what happens to the energy in this situation? the energy gained by the peas is lost by the water. the peas lose energy as they are heated in the water. energy is transferred from the peas to the water and the pot. the water receives energy both from the fire and from the frozen peas. energy is transferred from the fire to the pot, then to the water, and then to the peas.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy is transferred from higher - energy objects to lower - energy objects. The fire has high energy, which is transferred to the pot and then to the water. The hot water has more energy than the frozen peas, so energy is transferred from the water to the peas.

Answer:

The energy gained by the peas is lost by the water.
Energy is transferred from the fire to the pot, then to the water, and then to the peas.
