Can a cold spoon transfer heat?
No. Heat can only be transferred to a cold spoon, not the other way round (as there is no heat in a cold spoon to transfer). A simple example is when a cold teaspoon is used to stir a hot cup of tea. When the spoon is withdrawn, it is hot.
How does energy transfer?
hot to cold, fast to slow, high to low.
What happens when steam hits a cold object like a plate?
The steam will condense and transfer its heat energy to the object.
When does energy transfer from a cold object to a hot object?
heat only move from high temp to lower temp
Why does an endothermic reaction feel cold if energy is being absorbed?
Because the energy(heat) is being pulled out of your hand. Heat transfer from the hottest substance to the coldest

Will a spoon in a bowl of soup help it cool down faster or keep it hot?
A cold spoon will extract heat from the soup, a spoon that is warmer than the soup will transfer heat to it.
How does energy from heat transfer from a hot source to a cold source?
Convection
How does energy transfer?
hot to cold, fast to slow, high to low.
Does aluminum conduct cold faster than glass?
Aluminum is a conductor and glass is an insulator. Conductors allow the flow of energy transfer, but insulators block this transfer of energy. So by definition, Yes, aluminum conducts cold or heat(energy) transfer faster than glass.
Why will a hot spoon melt ice cream faster than a cold one?
Melting is a process that requires energy. A hot spoon contains heat, which is a type of energy, that is capable of causing ice cream to melt.
What type of energy transfer is warm air rises wile cold air drops?
It's not an energy transfer. It creates a convection current though.
What are some samples of conduction?
Conduction is the transfer of energy through matter from particle to particle. It is the transfer and distribution of heat energy from atom to atom within a substance. For example, a spoon in a cup of hot tea becomes warmer because the heat from the tea is conducted along the spoon. Conduction is most effective in solids-but it can happen in fluids. Fun fact: Have you ever noticed that metals tend to feel cold? Believe it or not, they are not colder! They only feel colder because they conduct heat away from your hand. You perceive the heat that is leaving your hand as cold.
When you touch a cold surface does cold travel from the surface to your hand or does energy travel from your hand to the cold surface?
Energy travels from your hand to the surface, because even the slightest touch transfers energy. Cold doesn't transfer from the surface to your hand, your nerves just tell your brain that the surface is cold.
What is the transfer of heat energy?
thermal energy. The transfer of heat happens when a warm fast moving molecule run into slow a cold ones the heat is then transferred from the warm molecule to the cold oneAnswerHeat is energy in transit from a higher temperature to a lower temperature. Heat isn't transferred; heat describes the process of transfer.
Why a spoon is getting heated over a fire?
A spoon over a fire would would be heated from convection, because convection is when hot air rises and cold air falls which is known as a convection current.
What happens when you put the back of a spoon under running water?
Bernoulli's Principal As the speed at which a fluid moves increases the pressure within the fluid decreases.
