Does a plastic kettle handle prevent or helps heat flow?
Plastic is a good insulator of heat, meaning heat can't flow through it very well. So a plastic handle on a kettle doesn't conduct heat through it and this means you don't get burnt when handling it.
How is thermochemical equation different from a balanced chemical equation?
They specify heat flow for the reaction.
Why is plastic foam a poor conductor of heat?
Actually, plastic is not a bad conductor of heat and electricity, it's an insulator. An insulator is a substance that resists the flow of heat or electricity through it and plastic resists both of these.
When you mix two liquids with different temperatures what will happen?
If you mix a hot liquid and a cold one, the heat from the hot liquid will flow to the cold liquid, reducing the heat of the overall liquid.
How do you get convention in a lava lamp?
The heat of the lamp causes the fluids to heat and expand. The two materials are of different thermal properties and are immiscible.The word you seek is convection.
What is ment by conduction?
The flow of heat energy through materials.
What is the materials called through which heat and electricity flow poorly?
insulators...
What h is a way of transferring energy when things are different temperatures?
In that case, energy will flow quite naturally, as a heat flow. Heat can flow through three methods: conduction, convection, radiation.
A materials ability to allow heat to flow is what?
conductivity
How does heat travel by conduction through different materials?
By speeding up adjacent molicules.
What M is a type of material that lets heat flow through it?
metal
Which is true heat can travel well through all materials or heat can travel well through some materials?
Some, but not all. Some materials are insulators- heat does not travel well through them.
Materials through which heat can flow easily are called?
A conductor easily Transmits heat and electricity. A conductor can include: Copper, some metals, metalloids, and more. ! - The Silver Fox.
Is it possible for heat to flow across a vacuum?
Heat needs something to "flow" through. In a vacuum it will not have a medium to travel through and so heat cannot flow across a vacuum. Radiant heat will travel through a vacuum but here it is the light energy that is passing through the vacuum, not the heat energy.
What is conduction of heat and give examples of 2 materials that are good conductors?
conduction of heat is when lets the flow of electricity run through. Two good conductors are water and metal. Like when a metal spoon gets hot when you put it in soup. but plastic does not do that
Is a book a conductor?
No, a book is not a conductor. A conductor is a material that allows electricity or heat to flow through it easily, while a book is made of paper or other materials that do not conduct electricity or heat well.
When Flow of heat by direct contact is known as?
False... The flow of heat through direct contact is conduction.
