The temperature in both rooms will become equal over time.
The temperature in both rooms will become equal over time.
The colder room will warm up to 80°F.
The colder room will warm up to 80°F.
The warmer room will cool down to 50°F.
The warmer room will cool down to 50°F.
The temperature in each room will remain unchanged.
The temperature in both rooms will become equal over time.
The temperature in both rooms will become equal over time.
To answer this question, we need to understand the concept of thermal equilibrium. Thermal equilibrium occurs when the two rooms reach the same temperature.
When the door between the two rooms opens, heat transfer occurs between the rooms. Heat will flow from the warmer room to the colder room until thermal equilibrium is reached. This means that the warmer room will cool down, while the colder room will warm up.
Therefore, the correct statement is: "The temperature in both rooms will become equal over time."
