the amount of "heat" that a particle has is really dependent on how fast that particle is moving. Heat is really just the motion of particles.
So, one particle can transfer heat (motion/speed) to another by colliding with it. Just like a someone throwing a billiard ball into a second billiard ball. Before the 2 balls collide, the one you threw (moving faster) is the hot particle and the stationary ball (not moving/slow) is the cold one. After the collision both balls will be moving. So some heat (motion) was transferred from one ball to the other.
When you fry bacon on a stove, the fast moving particles of the pan collide with the bacon particles, causing them to move faster. If the bacon particles move faster, they are hotter.

What processes transfer heat energy along the wire?
Those processes that involve particle friction.
Why heat transfer is increased in dimple surfaces?
Theory: Dimpled surfaces have a larger surface area.
What are the main factys of conduction?
Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat energy through particles in contact with one another. Because heat energy is essentially kinetic energy, the particle with more kinetic energy collides with the particle with less kinetic energy, speeding it up and therefore causing it to absorb some of the heat energy from the first particle.
What are the 3 types of heat transfers?
the 3 types of heat transfer is conduction, convection, and radiation. conduction is when molecules transfer their heat to other molecules when they bump into each other. heat transfers through solids. metals are the best conductors. convection is when energy is transferred by the movement of energy from a hotter, less dense particle to a colder, denser particle. heat transfered through liquids and gases by circulating currents. these currents are called convection currents. radiation is when heat transferred through space. thermal energy is transferred in waves. heat radiation is also called infrared radiation. the sun sends its heat through radiation.
The transfer of heat by fluid?
The transfer of heat by fluid is convection.
How does the kinetic theory of the matter relate to heat transfer?
Kinetic theory and Heat transfer are both in motion, in Kinetic theory all states of matter are in vigorous motion and Heat transfer is associated with the motion of atoms or molecules.
The particle-to-particle transfer of heat is?
Conduction
The particle to particle mode of heat transfer is called?
Conduction.
How does the particle theory relate to the thermos?
thermal energy is energy caused by friction friction is when two or more objects touch kinetic energy is when somthing is falling after you realesed potential energy that's all i can tell ya
How does heat transfer from the mantle relate to the movement of earths crust?
This heat transfer happens by convection.
What is the process by which heat transfer from one particle of matter to another when the particle collide?
conduction
Transfer of heat by the direct contact of particle of matter is?
Conduction
Why do different solids transfer heat at different rates?
their particle density
How does the transfer of heat to an object affect the motion of the particle?
i dont now
What are the most important postulates in the Particle Theory in regards to heat?
eatoms and nucleus
Why is vacuum the best thermal insulator?
Heat travels in 3 ways. Conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through collision of particles. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movements of particles (ie. hot particle rises, cold particle sinks). Vacuum is made up of nothing (when there is no particle, it is vacuum), and so, it is unable to transfer heat through conduction and convection at all, making it the best thermal insulator
What is the transfer of heat from particle to particle called?
the process by which heat can be transffered from one particle of matter to another is called conduction.in this process ,,the heat absorbed at one particle is transferred to a neighbouring particle contrary to the process called convection where the particles move themselves .an example of conduction : when u heat a rod at one end , after sometime u can feel the heat at the other end as well.
