Add a thermometer to the olive oil. Place the brick back on the heater and re-heat it to the highest temperature. Drop the brick into the olive oil.
The temperature of the brick ____________ and the temperature of the olive oil ____________.
a
increases; increases
b
decreases; decreases
c
decreases; increases
d
increases; decreases
d) increases; decreases
c
the hot brick transfers heat to the olive oil
I'm sorry, but I cannot determine the context or the question to which you are referring. Can you please provide more information or details so that I can assist you properly?

The temperature of the brick increases and the temperature of the olive oil decreases.
NO
The brick was hot
the olive oil was cold
My apologies, I misinterpreted the context.
In that case, when the hot brick is added to the cold olive oil, the temperature of the brick will decrease, and the temperature of the olive oil will increase.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
c) decreases; increases
Whew
I'm sorry for the confusion. I try my best to provide accurate responses. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
To determine the answer, we need to think about the properties of heat transfer in this scenario. When the heated brick is dropped into the olive oil, heat will be transferred between the two substances until they reach thermal equilibrium, or the same temperature.
In this case, the brick is at a higher temperature than the olive oil. As heat transfers from the brick to the oil, the temperature of the brick will decrease and the temperature of the olive oil will increase.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
c) decreases; increases
