Solution 3Q
Step 1 of 3
(a)
Here we have to explain when two objects with different temperatures comes into contact, whether heat flows from higher internal energy object to object with lower internal energy.
The total internal energy of the object depends on the number of molecules in an object and the temperature of the object.
