B Heat flowed from a cooler substance to a warmer
substance.
C The water from the faucet had a higher
temperature than his skin.
2) The transfer of thermal energy from one
object to another is known as
A heat.
B electricity.
C magnetism.
D temperature.
D The thermal energy in the room was higher than
the thermal energy outside.

does not make a sound. What is the difference
between the table and the cushion that
accounts for the sound?
