Question

John stirs the hot soup with a spoon the heat travels up the spoon to his hand by what process does the heat travel up the spoon

Answer 1

Answer: is Second Law of Thermodynamics (conduction).

john stirs the hot soup with a spoon the heat travels up the spoon to his hand is due to the basic law of conduction, also known as the second law of thermodynamics . Heat always travels from hot things toward the cold things, is proved by the phenomena that a cup of tea always get cold, and and a cold dessert or ice cream always melts. Its not possible that the cup of tea become boiling by itself and similarly an ice cream getting frozen on its own in on a hot day. To understand this point there are three ways in which heat can travel namely, conduction, radiation and convection. The process due to heat travels up to the spoon from the soup towards john's hand is called conduction. Conduction is the process in which heat travels between two solid things that are at different temperature. Cooking soup in a saucepan with a metal spoon will make your fingers hot because of the conduction of heat, that travels through the boiling soup pan through metal spoon towards your hand.
