Why does the transfer of thermal energy through conduction happens more quickly in a solid than it does in a gas?
Liqiud water can turn to ice faster than it can turn to gas. It can boil faster than it can freeze though.
What is an example of transfer of heat through conduction?
Boiling a pot of water on the stove. The heat couldn't reach the water if it were not conducted through the metal pot.
Does light travel faster in diamond or water?
Light travels slower through denser media, so it travels faster through water than through a diamond.
Does light travel faster through air water vacuum or glass?
it travels faster through air.
Does sound travel faster through wood or water?
Water.
Why does meat thaw faster in cold water?
basically there are three modes of heat transfer. Convection - through waves like air and win, fans. Conduction - through contact. Ratiation - like heat from the sun conduction transfers heat faster than convection by putting the meat in water your switching the mode of heat transfer transfer from convection to conduction.

How does water get heat?
Through conduction and convection currents
Why do divers hear better under water?
Sound travels faster underwater, but this does not mean that divers hear better underwater. It just means that the sound is heard more quickly.
What type of energy is responsible for making you feel cold when you are swimming in cool water?
Conduction.... Why you ask because Conduction is the transfer of energy from one object to another object through direct contact.
Divers hear better under water true or false?
"better" isn't really the right word. Noise travels faster through water than in air, OTOH you need a sound source capable of generating sound while submerged.
Would sound travel faster through water or through air?
sound travels faster through water than air.
How is heat lost through water?
Heat is lost by all things through convection, conduction and radiation.
Do ice cubes melt faster in or outside water?
The temperature of the water and the temperature of the air would have to be factors in the answer. EDIT: Assuming the air and water are the same temperature, it would melt much faster in water. The thermal conduction is much higher.
What are soils that allow water to pass through them faster?
Loose or sandy soils allow water to percolate(pass) through them faster
What is an example of transfer of heat through conduction?
Boiling a pot of water on the stove. The heat couldn't reach the water if it were not conducted through the metal pot.
Is used to divers the earth?
Divers dive in the sea/water, not earth.
