Which statement below describes the movement of the thermal energy?
Heat will move from Sample 3 into the other samples until they are all the same temperature.
Sample 2 will transfer cold to Sample 3.
Heat will move from Sample 4 to Sample 2 because they are almost the same temperature.
Heat will move from Sample 3 to Sample 2 because the greatest difference exists between these two samples.
Heat will move from Sample 4 to Sample 2 because they are almost the same temperature.
The correct statement describing the movement of the thermal energy is:
Heat will move from Sample 3 to Sample 2 because the greatest difference exists between these two samples.
