Which describes how fast-moving particles assist in transferring thermal energy to a cup after hot tea is poured into it?

When hot tea is poured into a cooler cup, the tea’s faster-moving particles transfer energy through collisions with slower-moving particles in the cup. These collisions make the slower particles move faster, warming the cup. So the correct choice is “They collide with slow-moving particles.”
