True
400
Define Thermal Equilibrium
The flow of heat between two objects until they both reach the same temperature
400
Which method of heat transfer is occurring here?
Convection

Explain why the cup does not burn up?
Water has the ability to hold a lot of heat. It requires a longer time to heat up.
500
In conduction, heat energy is passed through matter, but the matter itself does not move.
False
