Respuesta :
Heat energy is transferred from warmer objects to cooler objects.
Answer:
This question is not complete
Explanation:
There are three ways in which heat is transferred, they are
- Conduction: Here, heat is transferred from a hot object to a cooler object when both objects come in contact with one another. Here, there must be a contact between the two bodies. This is so because, the particles of the hot objects have a higher kinetic energy than the cooler object, and when they come in contact with the cooler ones, they transfer these energy to the cooler ones. Metals are generally good conductors of heat.
- Convection: Here, heat is transferred in a liquid or a gas. Hot liquids or gases transfer there heat when they come in contact with cooler ones. There must be contact in this case also. For example, when a kettle of water is boiled, the water at the base of the kettle passes heat energy to the water at the top of the kettle.
- Radiation: This does not require physical contact but a substance receives heat energy as a result of thermal radiation. For example, the sun produces heat but does not need to touch the metals on earth before they absorb the heat from the sun. So, heat is transferred without a medium or through open space here.
