Is iron nail a thermal insulator?
No, it is a conductor. Get one end hot, the heat is conducted to the other end pretty quickly.
If you stick a metal rod in snowbank. the end in your hand soon becomes cold. Does cold flow the snow to your hand?
Cold doesn't travel, heat does. The heat travels from your hands to the snow.
Does heat travel from cold objects to hot objects?
heat dosent travel from cold objects to hot objects ,it only travels fron hot to cold objects
A heat source is located under one end of a solid material- what process carries heat to the other end of the block?
Conduction.The thermal energy is transferred from high-energy (hot) particles) to adjacent low-energy (cold) particles, and in this way the heat is conducted along the length of the material. Some materials do this better than others, for example metals will conduct heat better than wood. This property of the material is called its thermal conductivity.
How heat transfer by conduction?
the particles at the heated end in say a metal rod gain kinetic energy and therefore start to vibrate more. These heated particles then hit other less energetic (hot) particles and then the heat is passed on that way until the whole object is heated up.
Does heat travel faster in water or silver spoon?
If you had a spoon and heated one end of it the other end would get hot more quickly than if you heated one end of some water in the same shape as a spoon (not easy!!) and measured the heat at the other end of that. This is because the conductivity of silver is greater than that of water. However, if you had a column of water and heated the bottom, the top would get warm fairly quickly because of, not only conduction, but also convection, where the hot water rises and the cold water comes down. Silver does not move like this so the heat transfer by convection would be zero.

Why does your hair stand on end when combed on a cold day?
Because it stands as a heat insulator during cold days.

What happens when one end of a metal slab is heated and ice is placed on the other end?
Heat will be transferred through the metal and begin melting the ice at the other end. Metal is a very good conductor of heat and heat like most other things prefers to equalize itself if possible.
How does heat heat up stuff?
well heat is fast moving particles they collide with slow particles which is cold and the slow particles move fast too. In the end the slow particles move faster just as heat so they are not cold anymore.
What happens if a metal rod is heated at one end?
The drawing pin which is the closest to the heat/bunsen burner will fall off first because of the heat partials travel through the metal rod and through each piece of wax causing the wax to melt.
Why does your hair stand on end when you get cold and scared?
The hair works as insulation for heat against the cold winds. When it is cold the erector muscles connected to the hair contracts.
What is the transfer of heat from warm to cold areas called?
If you heat one end of a metal bar then the heat passes along the bar by a process known as conduction.
