absorption
Heat energy is transferred by conduction from the muscle to the cold pack.
no, cold energy cannot be transferred into an object because you need heat in order to form an object for the celcuims
The water molecules lose energy and move more slowly. Some of this energy is transferred to the cup and some of the energy is transferred to the air. The temperature of the water will eventually reach equilibrium with the environment.
For simplicity, assume two solid blocks of the same material. Molecules in the hotter substance move faster on average; they will bounce against the molecules in the colder substance, transferring part of their energy. Energy is also transferred through bounces from the cold substance to the hot substance - but on average, more energy will be transferred from the hot to the cold substance, simply because on average, the molecules move faster.
Thermal energy.
Heat energy is transferred from the hot water to the cold.
absorption
when hot water and cold water are mixed together then the energy is transfered from hotwater to cold water
the particles of the hot water decreased by -20 which means that they where 480 calories transferred out of the hot water and the cold water increased 20 which means that they were 480 calories transferred into the cold water.

Heat is a form of energy and due to the principal of thermodynamic equilibrium, will constantly seek a state of equilibrium. The reason a hot burner does not become cold is because as the energy is transferred to the cold water more energy is being put into the burner through either electricity or gas. If there was no source of energy to the burner, then the cold water would cool down the hot burner, though the cold water would also heat up in the process, to the point where both are at room temperature.
Yes (with the exception of absolute zero) but the energy in hot and cold is always heat energy. (Cold is defined as the absence of heat)
