The law says that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. It can only be transferred from one form to another....
And energy always from higher potential to lower potential... Since hotter object is at high potential and cooler object at lower potential, the heat energy will flow from hotter to cooler object.

When something is heated does the thermal energy go from the cooler to the warmer object or from a warmer object to a cooler object?
hot to cold
Types of heat transfer?
The movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object is called convection currents
How is potential energy transferred into kinetic energy?
When the object is moved, even a tiny bit.
Heat will flow from a hot object to a cold object until the objects reach what?
In a closed system, yes. Both objects will be at the same thermal energy level, and neither will be able to release any to the other. In the real world, this is not the case, heat would continue to dissipate until the object reaches the same thermal energy level as the air around it, approximately.
What is the energy transferred by a force to a moving object.?
It could be an increase or decrease in its kinetic energy, or simply a change in the direction of motion.
What is the energy transferred from a hotter object to a cooler object referred to as?
conduction
The energy transferred from a hotter object to a cooler object?
it called heat transfer!
What is the energy transferred from a hotter object to a cooler one referred to?
Energy in transit from a hotter body to a cooler body is called HEAT.
What is the energy transferred from a hotter object to a cooler one is referred to as what?
heat transfer
What energy source is transferred from a hotter object to cooler one?
This question is misguided. It is the energy type that is transferred, not the source. The type is heat.
What is the energy transferred from a hotter object to a cooler object called?
The energy itself is called "heat" or thermal energy. The process is called heat transfer and for objects in contact, it is "conduction" (as opposed to convection or radiation).
What is the energy transfered from a hotter object to a cooler object referred to?
conduction
What happens when thermal energy is transferred from a warmer object to a cooler object?
thermal equilibrium
Transfer of thermal energy of a hotter object to any cooler one is?
known as heat transfer, which occurs through three main mechanisms: conduction, convection, and radiation. In conduction, heat is transferred through direct contact between molecules. In convection, heat is transferred through the movement of a fluid. In radiation, heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves.
Can thermal energy be cool when its hot?
Yes. But a cooler body has less energy than a hotter object
Is heat energy that passes from a hotter object to a cooler one?
Yes, you are correct. Heat is defined as energy in transit from a warmer body to a cooler body.
What is the science definition of heat?
Heat- the energy transferred from a hot object to a cooler one.
