Heat trasferred by touch is called?

Conduction Conduction is the transfer through direct contact which leads to the vibration of atoms. An example of conduction is a frying pan on a stove.


When you burn your finger by touching a hot stove you have experienced heat transfer by what?

There are 4 types of heat transfer, convection, conduction, radiation, and direct flame contact. When you touch the stove the heat is transferred directly from one body, the stove, to the other, the finger. This is heat transfer by conduction.


Direct and indirect?

Indirect means:Not directly caused by or resulting from something:Not done directly; conducted through intermediariesDirect means:Extending or moving from one place to another by the shortest way without changing direction or stopping.Essentially, direct means to be straight (in course or direction; i.e. direct route), straightforward, purposeful (i.e. a direct effect of Joe doing his homework was that his grades improved.)Indirect means to be a roundabout way, accidental, side effectual (i.e. The indirect effect of the Spanish Inquisition was the economic collapse of Spain.)


Is friction a non contact force?

Because it is two surfaces rubbing against each other, in this case it creates heat and possibly static electricity. To touch; contact. If two surfaces rub against each other forcefully this is a contact force.


How do contact forces such as friction differ from gravitational and magnetic forces?

Contact forces must be touching whatever they are acting on the others have a field of influence around them; ie they don't have to touch to act on something

What energy transmits by direct contact or touch?

Human beings are able to transmit their heat (thermal energy) by direct touch or contact. We also find that static electricity (electromagnetic energy) can be transmitted between individuals as well. It should be noted that pushing on someone transfers motion (mechanical energy) to that person.


What energy is transmitted by direct contact or touch?

We apply the term conduction to the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact. The other two mechanisms that transfer thermal energy are radiation and convection.


What energy is transmitted through direct contact or touch?

Yes. Thermal energy is moved by contact in a process call conduction. You see this when you touch a hot plate and burn your finger. Kinetic energy is transfered by touch as well. You can see this when you hit a that isn't moving and then then ball rolls. There are other example as well.


What is contact transmitted virus?

It is transmitted when you come in contact (e.g. touch) with it.


What type of transfer of energy can take place with little or no matter present?

Some forces, such as gravity or the electrostatic force, can act without direct contact. If a force is applied over a certain distance (such as, when an object falls), work is done, i.e., energy is transferred. Ah, but what is direct contact? One electrostatic field pushing against another? If I touch something, it is the electrostatic fields pushing against each other. There is no direct contact!


What is the most common way to catch swine flu?

Direct hand to hand contact or other direct touch with a person who has it or contact with items or surfaces they have touched.


What is the direct transfer of thermal energy between 2 objects that touch?

conduction

How are germs transmitted?

Germs can be transmitted in many ways,but the most that are very comment are airborne,meaning its impossible to dodge germs if they are in the air. The second most comment is contact,as our hands touch so much stuff,its true that we touch our own face a lot so its inevitable for germs to NOT be transmitted. Other unknowns are unclean utensils,unclean surfaces etc.


What are four simple ways to interfere with transmission of diseases?

Depends on the disease.... Things like Mono or staff infections (MERSA) can be transmitted via touch (sharing drinks, contact with wounds etc) More serious health diseases can be transmitted through contact of bodily fluids such as blood (aids, hepatitis), STDs come from contact of intimate regions.


When a puppy gets prvo shot when can they touch the ground?

A puppy who has just receieved a parvo vaccine can touch the ground immediately, as long as they are not in direct contact with a canine who has the parvo virus. It is unlikely for a puppy to contact parvo immediately after vaccination.


In order to get a cold sore does someone have to come in direct contact with an active sore?

no it can be spread if you eat or drink the same consumables as the cold sore person or if they touch their face and then touch you or a door knob and then you touch the door knob and then touch your face
