A person places a metal spoon that is at room temperature into a bowl of hot soup how will the thermal energies of the spoon and the soup be affected?

the spoon will increase in thermal energy, and the soup will decrease in thermal energy.
Reason:
Thermal energy is the total of all the kinetic and potential energy of the atoms in an object. When the thermal energy of a substance increases, its particles move faster. If the thermal
energy of a solid increases enough, it melts into a liquid. The liquid state of a substance always
has a higher thermal energy than its solid state. If the liquid continues to gain thermal energy, its
particles speed up more. When the particles of a liquid have absorbed enough energy to escape the forces between them, the liquid becomes a gas. The substance has undergone another phase change.
As the total kinetic energy of the particles in an object increases, the object gets warmer. Heat flows from a warmer object to a cooler one.

What type of weather is good to have a thermal shirt for?
A good time for a person to wear a thermal shirt is when the weather is around 0 degrees. The thermal shirt is used to keep in the body temperature, which is effected badly by the cold weather due to it escaping the body into the surroundings. Thermal shirts keep the body temperature from escaping so quickly and keep the person warm.
