When you iron a shirt heat is transferred this way...
Name a force that is responsible for the motion of the planets around the Sun
What is gravity?
The type of energy the is due to the flow of electrons through a wire in the form of a current
What is electrical energy?
Gasoline is what type of energy (potential or kinetic)
What is potential?
Name a piece of equipment that can convert chemical energy into electrical energy then into radiant energy and finally into thermal energy.
What is a flashlight?
This type of heat transfer explains why a basement is often the coolest place in the house
What is convection?
