Question 2 • Physical Science

Which substance has the most thermal energy and will have the most heat flow from it?

Answer
A
air at room temperature open paren 32 times degree C close paren
B
a nuclear reactor core open paren 1000 times degree C close paren
C
the human body open paren 36 times degree C close paren
D
a stovetop burner on medium open paren 200 times degree C close paren

Explanation

Heat flows from a hotter substance to a cooler one. The nuclear reactor core is at 1000°C, which is higher than the burner at 200°C, air at 32°C, and the human body at 36°C. Therefore, the reactor core has the greatest temperature and will have the most heat flow from it.
