Question

Which direction does thermal energy flow in the following diagram? the picture is of someone holding an ice cream cone

Answer 1

The answer is B. Heat flows from the hand to the ice cream. The state of equilibrium won't occur for this since the only reactant is heat.

Answer 2

Answer : Option B) Heat flows from the hand to the ice-cream.

Explanation :

The thermal energy flow would require a source to get transferred to an object which has less thermal energy than the source. Here, the energy source is a person and the object is ice-cream. The source of thermal energy will be in a person and the energy will flow from the hand of the person to the ice-cream as there is low thermal energy in ice-cream.
