Question

1. Which statement is scientifically accurate? A. "Don't let the cold energy out of the fridge!" b. "Don't let the energy into the fridge!" Explain in terms of energy transfer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The accurate statement is b. "Don't let the energy into the fridge!"

Explanation:

Heat is energy. Inside a fridge there is lower heat - lower energy - than the surroundings. The spontaneous transference of energy is always from a place with higher energy (hot) to a place with lower energy (cold). So, as the frigde is cold, the heat is transferred from the surroundings to the fridge.
