Select the correct answer. What is true about the energy of the particles in each drink after a few minutes of the milkshake surrounding the hot chocolate? The milkshake particles move faster than the hot chocolate particles. All the energy of the hot chocolate particles is transferred to the milkshake. All the energy of the milkshake particles is transferred to the hot chocolate. The energy of the milkshake particles is now equal to the energy of the hot chocolate particles.

## Step 1<br />This problem is about the concept of heat transfer and energy distribution between two substances, in this case, a milkshake and hot chocolate. When a cold drink (milkshake) is placed in a hot drink (hot chocolate), heat transfer will occur. <br /><br />## Step 2<br />The heat transfer will continue until both substances reach thermal equilibrium. This means that the temperatures of the two substances will become equal. <br /><br />## Step 3<br />The energy of the particles in each drink will not be completely transferred from one to the other. Instead, the energy will be shared between the two substances until they reach the same temperature. <br /><br />## Step 4<br />Therefore, the correct answer is that the energy of the milkshake particles is now equal to the energy of the hot chocolate particles.
