Katen [24]3 years ago

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The three methods of heat transfer are: conduction in solids, convection of fluids (liquids or gases), and radiation through anything that will allow radiation to pass.

Heat conduction, also known as thermal conduction, is the transfer of heat through physical contact. It occurs when two objects at different temperatures comes in contact with each other, inducing the transfer of heat based on the temperature difference. This transfer occurs at a molecular level, from one body to another. When heat energy is absorbed by a surface, causing the molecules of that surface to move faster. In the process, they collide with their neighbors with slower molecules and transfers the thermal energy to them.

The process of heat conduction is dependent on temperature gradient/difference, in which heat always flows spontaneously from the hottest to the coldest source, due to the fact that cold is nothing but the absence of heat energy. This transfer between bodies (solids) continues until the temperature difference decays and a state of thermal equilibrium (both bodies at an equal temperature) is attained.

For example, heat in form of thermal energy is transferred from the hot plate of an electric cooker (hotter object) to the metallic surface of a knife (colder object) placed on it.

What happens to matter on earth?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

A whole lot of zig-zagging: Perhaps that is what happens when the universe's mysterious dark matter particles hit the Earth. ... Dark matter particles can penetrate all other forms of matter, which means that they may even be able to traverse right through our planet without losing any energy whatsoever.

Define hydrophilic.
Vinil7 [7]
Hydrophilic (water-loving) or could be called water, it mean attracting water molecules as close as possible, the phospholipid is made up of a head that is polar, and a tail that is non polar or in another words called “hydrophobic” , this means that the head of the phospholipid is attracted to water molecules ( this helps you understand the structure of cell membrane formation). Steriod, a class of lipids, some hormones like cholesterol are made up of steroids. They maintain fluidity of cell membrane. Example: oestrogens

What needs to happen FIRST for a fossil to form?
nadezda [96]

Answer:

for a fossil to form, an organism must be buried quickly so that any oxygen is cut off and its decay slows down or stops. ... Fossil formation begins when an organism or part of an organism falls into soft sediment, such as mud.

What is the purpose of a coliform count on water?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Coliform count is a very important test that is done to determine water contamination because the presence of some types of coliform bacteria in the water indicates the presence of sewage or sewage waste.

The group of total coliforms includes several genera, all of which may be of fecal origin. The most common fecal coliform is Escherichia coli
