Heat Transfer

100

The sun uses which heat transfer:

A.) radiation

B.) conduction

C.) convection

A.) radiaiton

200

How is heat transferred through convection currents?

A.) square

B.) up and down (a line)

C.) circle

D.) did we ever talk about this? 

C.) circle 

300

Another term for heat transfer is?

thermal energy

400

If you sprain your ankle and place a cold pack on it, in which direction does thermal energy move?

A.) from the cold pack to your ankle

B.) from your ankle to the cold pack

C.) it does not move

B.) from your ankle to the cold pack

(heat transfer is always hot to cold)

500

The stove's flame heats the pan primarily through what heat transfer method, while the hot pan then transfers heat to the food inside it through what heat transfer method?

• Radiation: The heat from the stove's fire (or an electric heating element) is electromagnetic radiation that travels through the air and strikes the metal pan, warming it up.
• Conduction: Once the pan is hot, it transfers that heat directly to the food it is touching. The metal pan and the food have to be in direct contact for this to happen.
