Question 36 • TX-Integrated Physics and Chemistry B

Which best explains why Greg’s hands get warm as he holds a bowl of hot soup?

Answer
A
Heat energy is created from the thermal energy in Greg’s hands.
B
Heat energy is absorbed by the soup from Greg’s hands.
C
Thermal energy from the soup moves to Greg’s hands.
D
Thermal energy from the surrounding air moves to Greg’s hands.

Explanation

The soup is hotter than Greg’s hands, so thermal energy moves from the soup to his cooler hands through the bowl. This transfer warms his hands. Choice C, “Thermal energy from the soup moves to Greg’s hands,” describes that process; heat is transferred, not created.
