When the hammer is in the sun, heat flows by radiation
When you pick up the hammer, heat flows by conduction
Explanation:
As the hammer lies in the sun, heat is transferred to the hammer by radiation. Heat energy reaches the earth from the sun by radiation. Radiation is a mode of beat transfer in which heat is transferred without a material medium.
When you pick up the hammer, heat flows to your hand by conduction because your body is a conductor of heat.
