Conduction is a mode of heat transfer where thermal energy flows between bodies that are in direct contact. Thus, the correct answer would be D.

A is incorrect here: heat flow via conduction involves high-energy particles (such as atoms or molecules) having their energy transferred to neighboring particles by contact or collision. If “space” refers to a region that contains only gas (the everyday understanding of “space”), then heat transfer by conduction would be extremely inefficient since gas molecules are so far apart. If “space” refers to a vacuum, then conduction cannot occur at all (radiation is the only mode of heat transfer through a vacuum). In either case, not only does conduction not necessitate space, but space impedes heat transfer by conduction.

B is incorrect because conduction operates via the movement of energy itself and not of matter (although, as we established above, the presence of matter is necessary for conduction). Conductive heat transfer can occur within a body itself (a metal bar that is heated on one end will eventually become hot on the other end). So, apart from being definitionally incorrect, conductive heat transfer doesn’t require currents at all. This mode of heat transfer occurs in convection.

C is manifestly incorrect: conductive heat transfer can occur between or within solids, so it can’t possibly be necessary that the “substances . . . Be liquids or gases.

What are the dimensions of a frequency in physics
Burka [1]

Answer:

This is the information I can provide. I hope it helps

Explanation:

Frequency is measured in units of hertz (Hz) which is equal to one occurrence of a repeating event per second. The period is the duration of time of one cycle in a repeating event, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency.

Suppose the sphere is electrically neutral. Is it attracted to
Elden [556K]

Answer:

No, it is not attracted.

Explanation:

If any sphere is electrically neutral it is not attracted. The materials which are attracted by magnet are called magnetic material whereas which are not attracted are called non magnetic material. Sphere made up of non magnetic materials such as glass, wood, paper will not attracted weather is kept near north pole or near south pole.

How much time does it take a dropped object to fall 180 m on Earth?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

6s

Explanation:

Assume it is dropped from rest and the gravitational acceleration is 10

By the equation of motion under constant acceleration:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2

180 = (0)t+10(t^2)/2

t = 6 or -6 (rejected)

t = 6 s
