drag and drop the words or phrases to accurately complete the paragraph.
thermal energy always transfers from □ substances. when thermal energy is absorbed by a substance, the particles in that substance □ .
in the picture at the left, hot dogs are being cooked by boiling them in water over a campfire. the flames transfer thermal energy via □ through electromagnetic waves. the pot transfers thermal energy to the water via □ because the pot and the water are in direct contact with each other. the water transfers thermal energy to the hot dogs via □ because a fluid substance (water) is being used to do the transfer.
options: magnetic, slow down, convection, electromagnetic, speed up, warmer to cooler, radiation, conduction, cooler to warmer, radioactive

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each blank based on thermal energy transfer concepts:

Blank 1 (Thermal energy direction):

Thermal energy transfers from warmer to cooler substances (heat flows down temperature gradient).

Blank 2 (Particle motion when energy is absorbed):

When thermal energy is absorbed, particles speed up (kinetic energy increases).

Blank 3 (Flame to pot energy transfer):

Flames transfer thermal energy to the pot via radiation (electromagnetic waves, as stated: "through electromagnetic waves").

Blank 4 (Pot to water energy transfer):

Pot and water are in direct contact, so energy transfers via conduction (heat transfer through direct contact).

Blank 5 (Water to hot dogs energy transfer):

Water is a fluid, so energy transfers via convection (heat transfer by fluid movement).

Filled Paragraph:

Thermal energy always transfers from $\boldsymbol{\text{warmer}}$ to $\boldsymbol{\text{cooler}}$ substances. When thermal energy is absorbed by a substance, the particles in that substance $\boldsymbol{\text{speed up}}$. In the picture at the left, hot dogs are being cooked by boiling them in water over a campfire. The flames transfer thermal energy via $\boldsymbol{\text{radiation}}$ through electromagnetic waves. The pot transfers thermal energy to the water via $\boldsymbol{\text{conduction}}$ because the pot and the water are in direct contact with each other. The water transfers thermal energy to the hot dogs via $\boldsymbol{\text{convection}}$ because a fluid substance (water) is being used to do the transfer.
