AP Physics 2easymcq1 pt

Two objects are in thermal contact. Object A has a temperature of 300 K and object B has a temperature of 350 K. Which of the following statements is true?

A.A) Heat will flow from object A to object B

B.D) The objects will eventually reach the same temperature

C.B) Heat will flow from object B to object A

D.C) No heat will flow between the objects

Explanation

Core Concept

Heat flows spontaneously from objects at higher temperature to objects at lower temperature. Since object B has a higher temperature (350 K) than object A (300 K), heat will flow from object B to object A until thermal equilibrium is reached.

Correct Answer

CB) Heat will flow from object B to object A
