Mr. Salyer has a two-story house. In the winter, he uses his downstairs heating unit because the arm air

• contracts, rises, and heats the house through conduction

• expands, sinks, and heats the house through convection

• expands, rises, and heats the house through convection

When a stethoscope touches your skin, what happens?

• heat travels from the stethoscope to your skin

• no energy is transferred

• the stethoscope warms up due to humidity

• heat travels from your warm body to the stethoscope
