An athlete hurts their wrist. They put an ice directly on the wrist. In which direction is the thermal energy moving?(1 point)
Responses
The thermal energy is moving from the wrist to the ice pack.
There is no thermal energy in this scenario.
The thermal energy is moving from the ice pack to the wrist.
The thermal energy is moving from the ice pack to the air around the wrist.
The thermal energy is moving from the wrist to the ice pack.
The thermal energy is moving from the wrist to the ice pack.
The thermal energy is moving from the wrist to the ice pack.
When an athlete puts an ice pack directly on their wrist, thermal energy is transferred from the warmer wrist to the colder ice pack. This is because the ice pack is at a lower temperature than the wrist. Thermal energy always flows from an object with a higher temperature to an object with a lower temperature, until both objects reach a thermal equilibrium. Therefore, in this scenario, the thermal energy is moving from the wrist to the ice pack.
