Week5_Prompt#2

When the glass of water's kinetic energy increases and the table's kinetic energy decreases, that is in the change of temperature. The table is warmer than the glass of water, and that will equalize the temperatures of both substances. So, the glass of water's temperature increases while the table's temperature decreases. In this question, the transfer of energy is thermal and kinetic energy. That is how the glass of water's kinetic energy and the table's kinetic energy changed.
