An object is moved from the outdoors, which is at a temperature of 100 ºF, to a room at a temperature of 70 º F. What happens to the object when it’s placed in the room with a lower temperature?

A: The object absorbs more energy than it gives off until it reaches a new lower thermal equilibrium where the amount of energy absorbed and given off is the same.

B: The object gives off the same amount of energy as it absorbs until it reaches a new lower thermal equilibrium where the amount of energy given off is greater than the amount of energy it absorbs.

C: The object gives off more energy than it absorbs until it reaches a new lower thermal equilibrium where the amount of energy absorbed and given off is the same.

D: The object gives off more energy than it absorbs until it reaches a new higher thermal equilibrium where the amount of energy absorbed and given off is the same.
