Question

How does heat flow? Provide an example.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Heat can travel from one place to another in three ways: Conduction, Convection and Radiation. ... Metal is a good conduction of heat. Conduction occurs when a substance is heated, particles will gain more energy, and vibrate more. These molecules then bump into nearby particles and transfer some of their energy to them.

Answer 2

Answer:

Heat Flow. At one time heat was defined as "that which flows when two objects at different temperatures are placed in contact." Heat flows from high values to low values in an attempt to bring the two objects into thermal equilibrium. ... Heat will flow so as to equalize the temperature throughout the object.

Explanation:

Conduction: Heat transfers into your hands as you hold a hot cup of coffee. Convection: Heat transfers as the barista “steams” cold milk to make hot cocoa. Radiation: Reheating a cold cup of coffee in a microwave oven.
