meter |
|

The transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas is called:
diffusion |
|
convection |
|
radiation |
|
conduction |
Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Examples of heat transfer by convection include water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee.
Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?
work |
|
kinetic energy |
|
a force |
|
power |
Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.
Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:
insulators |
|
refractors |
|
reflectors |
|
conductors |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
