Which of the following is true concerning kinetic-molecular theory and heat transfer between relatively hotter Object A and relatively colder Object B? A. Molecules of Object A collide with those of Object B, and the molecules in Object B move faster. B. Molecules of Object A collide with those of Object B, and the molecules in Object B move at the same speed. C. Molecules of Object B collide with those of Object A, and the molecules in Object A move faster. D. Molecules of Object B collide with those of Object A, and the molecules in Object B move slower.
Always remember: Heat transfers from hotter objects to colder objects. Not the other way around. Can you rule out some choices with that information?
I believe B and D are wrong. @iPwnBunnies
Ok, good. There is one more you can rule out. Object A gets colder since it's giving some of its heat/energy to Object B. So, Object B gets hotter at the same time. You can probably figure out the answer now.
Also remember, the hotter an object is, the faster the molecules in the object are moving around.
So, the answer would be A?
U know object A is hotter than the object B
So the molecules of object A r moving faster than the molecules of object B
Molecules of object A will try to move faster the molecules of object B after contacting each other
Ya A
