A baker touches a pie right after taking it out of the oven. Which statement best explains why the pie feels hot?

A
Molecules in the skin move faster than molecules in the pie, so heat is transferred to the pie.
B
Molecules in the pie move faster than molecules in the skin, so heat is transferred to the skin.
C
Molecules in the skin move faster than molecules in the pie, so heat is transferred to the skin.
D
Molecules in the pie move faster than molecules in the skin, so heat is transferred to the pie.

Two samples of carbon come into contact. A heat transfer will occur between sample A and sample B. What must be true for heat to transfer from sample A to sample B?

A
The average kinetic energy of A is greater than that of B.
B
The average kinetic energy of B is greater than that of A.
C
The average kinetic energy of both samples is equal.
D
The average kinetic energy does not determine the direction of heat transfer.

The temperature of a sample of liquid water changes from 50°C to 30°C. Which statement best explains the change that must happen at the molecular level?

A
The molecules move more quickly and their average kinetic energy increases.
B
The molecules move more slowly and their average kinetic energy decreases.
C
The molecules move more quickly and their average kinetic energy decreases.
D
The molecules move more slowly and their average kinetic energy increases.
8
