A slice of cheese is 3.0° c and is set an on a dish that is 3.0° c if the dish and the cheese are in a refrigerator that is set to 3.0°, which of the following statements would be true
Based on the given information, the following statement would be true:
The temperature of the cheese is the same as the temperature of the dish and the temperature of the refrigerator, which is 3.0° C.
If the slice of cheese is at 3.0°C and the dish is also at 3.0°C, and both the cheese and dish are in a refrigerator that is set to 3.0°C, the following statement would be true:
- The temperature of the cheese and dish will remain at 3.0°C.
To determine which of the following statements would be true, let's first understand the scenario.
We have a slice of cheese and a dish, both at a temperature of 3.0°C. They are placed in a refrigerator that is set to a temperature of 3.0°C as well. Now, let's consider the following statements:
1. The cheese will become warmer.
2. The dish will become cooler.
3. The cheese and the dish will remain at the same temperature.
To determine which statement is true, we need to understand how heat transfer works. Heat generally flows from a higher temperature region to a lower temperature region until both reach thermal equilibrium (i.e., the same temperature).
In this case, since the cheese, dish, and refrigerator are all at the same initial temperature (3.0°C), there won't be any net heat transfer between them. Therefore, the cheese and the dish will remain at the same temperature (3.0°C), making statement 3 the correct choice.
