you hold a 65*C cup of hot cocoa. Your hand is 37*C and the outside temperature is 6*C. Describe the flow of thermal energy.
The thermal energy from the cocoa will transfer to the hand and the outside air until the cocoa reaches thermal equilibrium.

process of energy moving from one object to another without changing form
What is an energy transfer?
300
This type of energy is carried by electromagnetic waves.
What is radiant energy?

Why does an airplane traveling from New York to California have both kinetic energy and potential energy?
It has potential energy because is has mass and height above Earth's surface (gravitational potential) and kinetic because it is in motion.
500
this includes wood, plants, and even manure and garbage, and can be transformed into electric energy in energy plants.
What is biomass?

Why would a metal pan need a plastic handle?
Plastic is a thermal insulator, and it does not get hot quickly. This allows a person to safely touch the handle of the pan without being burned.
