B)specific heat
C)density
D)temperature

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heat flow occurs between two bodies in thermal contact when they differ in temperature. Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, and heat flows from a hotter object to a cooler object until both reach thermal equilibrium. The other properties listed, such as mass, specific heat, and density, can affect the amount of heat transferred, but they do not initiate the heat flow.
