Which things would have more thermal energy than one cup of cooking oil that is at room temperature?

Choose all answers that are correct.

ice cream

packed snow

boiling water

steamed milk

The correct options are

c) boiling water

d) steamed milk

Explanation:

A cup of boiling water when kept at room temperature will have more heated atoms as compared to the cup of cooking oil which wasn't heated and was placed at room temperature. Steamed milk will also have more energy than the cup of cooking oil which wasn't heated before putting it at room temperature. However, the boiling water and the steamed milk will lose its heat energy to the surrounding when kept at room temperature.
