Thermal Energy/Heat Transfer

What is the definition of CONDUCTION?

• When heat is transferred from objects like rays of light or electromagnetically.
• a  hot liquid or air that  expands, becomes less dense, and rises or becomes more dense, and sinks.
• When heat transfers from objects that are touching.
• When heat transfers through the heater or AC in your house.

Considering that convection is driven by differences in temperature, double-pane windows are most likely used to 

• create a convection current from the outside air to the inside air.
• increase the rate of heat flow to the outside air 2
• create a convection current from the inside air to the outside air.
• decrease the rate of heat flow to the outside air.

• an oven and a glass dish.
• a stove and a copper pot.
• water and a wooden spoon

What happens when ice cubes melt in a glass?

• Heat travels from the ice to the warmer water.
• No energy is transferred.
• Heat is transferred from the warmer water to the ice cubes.
• The water warms up due to the humidity
