Energy: Forms, Transformation, Transfer, and Conservation
Item NG031004: If a hot frying pan is placed on the counter, after a while the frying pan, the counter, and the air will be at the same temperature because thermal energy will be transferred from the frying pan to the counter and from the frying pan to the air.
A cook uses an iron frying pan to cook a meal. After cooking, he places the hot frying pan on the counter. After a while, the frying pan, the counter, and the air in the room will be at the same temperature. Why?
- Because energy will be transferred from the frying pan to the counter and from the frying pan to the air
- Because coldness will be transferred from the counter to the frying pan and from the air to the frying pan
- Because energy will be transferred from the frying pan to the counter and from the frying pan to the air, and coldness will be transferred from the counter to the frying pan and from the air to the frying pan
- Because energy will be transferred from the frying pan to the air, but energy will not be transferred from the frying pan to the counter
