[True or False] 2 false [Statement] 
A hot cup of coffee absorbs cold from the room. False. Cold (as well as heat) is not a substance that is transferred between objects. Heat is a process that occurs naturally. Energy is transferred from a higher temperature system to a lower temperature system. A warm object has more molecular thermal (random kinetic) energy than the same object is cold. Over time, the hot cup of coffee loses energy as it transfers some of its energy to the cooler surroundings. It will continue to transfer heat until it reaches equilibrium: the temperature of the coffee and room become the same.
