Conduction has to be touching the two objects. Convection is not direct.

for online classes : Conduction warms the atmosphere as fast-moving molecules come into contact with lower-energy molecules until all molecules are moving at about the same rate. As the atmosphere warms, molecules move apart. As the heated air flows, heat is transferred by convection from warm, low-pressure air to cooler, high-pressure air.

A bookcase has a base of 1 m long and 0.5 m wide. It has a mass of 300kg. Find the pressure it exerts on the floor in kPa.

Snezhnost [94]

$1m*0.5m=0.5m^2\\
g=10\frac{m}{s^2}\\
300kg*10\frac{m}{s^2}=3000N\\
3000N--0.5m^2\\
\ \ x\ \ --\ 1\\
x=6000Pa=60kPa$

If cooling occurred at the bottom of a lake instead of its surface, the lake

AlladinOne [14]

No because the top has more oxygen to it which will break the particles up and have them freeze easier.

so if something froze at the bottom of the lake it would float to the top and that's why water always freezes from the top down :))
