A cup of coffee is an example of convection because the heat from the water warms up everything in the cup and all the atoms are bouncing off the cup[ in the coffee] of coffee because the coffee is hot.

CAN HEAT TRANSFER FROM LIQUID TO A NON METAL SOLID ANSWERS?
Heat transfers. The hotter loses heat energy to the cooler.
How is heat transferred when a cup of hot coffee is placed in a freezer?
Heat can beradiated,conducted or travel byconvection or a combination of these three.The base of the cup would conduct the heat to the surface it is sitting on and the body of the cup would radiate the heat and the air in the freezer would transfer the heat by convection currents.
Who invented the hot coffee cup band?
The inventor is not known. The coffee cup band is pictured in prehistoric cave paintings in Southern France and Northern Spain. When cups were chiseled out of stone, the heat from the coffee would transfer directly into the hand. Cavemen wove the bands out of palm leaves and wrapped them around their coffee cups.
Which cup can hold heat better a plastic cup a coffee cup or a glass cup?
A glass cup will conduct heat away quickly - a plastic cup would hold heat the best.
Which can transfer more heat a cup of boiling water or a cup of tap water?
A cup of boiling water since it has higher temperature. Note that heat transfer depends more on the temperature.
Which kind of heat transfer takes place if you put a spoon in a cup of soup and the spoon gets hot to the touch?
Conduction if the spoon is a conductor
Why does a cup of black coffee cool faster than a cup of coffee with cream?
Heat can easily penetrate single items. When cream is added to coffee then there is more matter to penetrate before the coffee is cooled.
How does heat transfer to cups?
Heat transfer to cups (or other solid objects) happens on a molecular level; fast moving hot molecules (perhaps in your hot coffee) collide with slower moving cold molecules (in your cup) and speed them up, giving up some of their own momentum.
Which can more transfer heat a cup of boiling water or 1 basin of tap water?
A cup of boiling water since it has higher temperature. Note that heat transfer depends more on the temperature.
Which can transfer more heat a cup of boiling water or 1 basin of tap water?
A cup of boiling water since it has higher temperature. Note that heat transfer depends more on the temperature.
What are the differences between simple calorimeter and bomb calorimeter?
bomb calorimeter measures heat transfer at constant while the cup measures at constant pressure.
It is a cold night around the campfire. Megan is trying to get warm by sitting close to the fire and clutching her mug of hot chocolate. How is heat being transferred to chilly Megan?
From the fire the transfer is by radiation. From the coffee cup to Megan's hands the transfer is by conduction
