Question

Many people have a tendency to think that heat and temperature are the same thing. However, this is not true. Heat describes A. energy that flows from warmer objects to cooler objects. B. the average amount of energy possessed by an object due to the potential energy stored in its bonds. C. the average amount of energy possessed by an object due to the motion of its particles. D. energy that flows from cooler objects to warmer objects.

Answer 1

A. energy that flows from warmer objects to cooler objects

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature is a measure of the average amount of energy possessed by an object due to the random motions of its particles.

Heat is the energy that flows from warmer objects to cooler objects. Heat cannot flow in the opposite direction.

Answer 2

The correct answer is actually

B) energy that flows from warmer objects to cooler objects.

because temperature is a measure of the average amount of energy possessed by an object due to the random motions of its particles. Heat is the energy that flows from warmer objects to cooler objects. Heat cannot flow in the opposite direction.
