Exploring Heat Transfer Mechanisms

Mr. Anderson explains heat as the transfer of energy from a higher to a lower temperature object. He discusses three methods of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction requires direct contact, convection involves fluid movement, and radiation uses electromagnetic waves. A PHET simulation demonstrates these concepts, showing how molecules vibrate and change states with heat. The video concludes with a recap of these energy transfer methods.

What is the definition of heat in the context of energy transfer?

• Energy transfer from a lower temperature object to a higher temperature object

• Energy transfer from a higher temperature object to a lower temperature object

• Energy transfer between objects of the same temperature

• Energy transfer that does not involve temperature change
