Question

if you held an ice cube in your hand, your hand feels really cold because?
a cold is transferred to your hand from the ice cube.
b thermal energy is transferred from your hand to the ice cube
c thermal energy is transferred to your hand from the ice cube.
d none of the above

Explanation:

Heat transfer occurs from a warmer object to a cooler one. The hand is warmer than the ice cube. Thermal energy (heat) moves from the hand (warmer) to the ice cube (cooler). Cold is not a substance that is transferred; it is the absence of heat. So, option b is correct as thermal energy is transferred from the hand to the ice cube.

Answer:

b. thermal energy is transferred from your hand to the ice cube
