Question

question 7 of 10 a student puts a piece of ice into a beaker of cold water. which two statements are true? a. thermal energy will move from the water to the ice. b. thermal energy will move from air to the water. c. thermal energy will move from the water to the air. d. thermal energy will move from air to the air.

Explanation:

Thermal energy always moves from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature. The cold - water is at a higher temperature than the ice, so thermal energy will move from the water to the ice. Also, the air is usually at a higher temperature than the cold - water, so thermal energy will move from the air to the water.

Answer:

A. Thermal energy will move from the air to the water.
B. Thermal energy will move from the water to the ice.
