A scoop of ice cream is placed on top of a warm piece of pie in a bowl.

Which statements about this scenario are true?

Select all that apply.

The pie's energy will destroy a portion of the ice cream's energy.

The overall amount of energy in the bowl will neither increase nor decrease.

The ice cream will increase in energy.

b. The overall amount of energy in the bowl will neither increase nor decrease.

c. The ice cream will increase in energy.

Explanation:

b. The total amount of energy in the container will not increase or decrease. Since the energy is transferred from one element to another, the energy that dissipates is negligible.

In this case the energy of the pie is transferred to the ice cream, melting it.

c. The ice cream will increase in energy. As the heat is transferred from the pie to the ice cream. the movement between the particles of the ice cream increases, increasing its kinetic energy

The overall amount of energy in the bowl will neither increase nor decrease.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
