Why does glass break in the microwave?

Microwaves do not heat evenly. If one part of the glass object is heated more than others, and if the object had some kind of stress fracture (which may well be invisible to the naked eye) the expansion of the heated part may cause cracks to form, and break the object.


What are different streamlined objects?

There are many different streamlines object. The streamlined object is the object that air hits it least. Any object that is pointy or Begin with small part to a big part this is streamlined object.

How does heat travel as radiant energy?

An object at any temperature emits electromagnetic radiation, mainly from its surface. This can be infrared, or - at higher temperatures - visible light. This electromagnetic radiation can travel through empty space, or through air. If it strikes another object, the energy (or part of the energy) will be transfered to this other object.


How heat is absorbed?

Physical objects absorb heat when the molecules of which they consist absorb energy and increase their velocity. Molecules are always moving, or vibrating in a lattice structure. They can absorb energy through physical collisions with molecules of another object or medium (air, water), or through direct absorption of radiant energy. In either case, the molecules then increase their velocity and the object of which they are a part are said to become hotter, having absorbed heat.

How many parts does an object have?

It depends on the object. Some have one part, some have thousands.

Does the speed stay same no matters what mass?

That depends on the situation. If the object is moving freely in a vacuum, the speed stays the same. If an object is accelerating, the speed change depends in part, on the mass of the object.


What is wear on a part?

It depends on what specific part. Or what object is wearing but generally it is called weathering or erosion. Weathering can be either chemical or natural. ;)

How is the heat transferred between the hot coffee and the part of the spoon that is in the hot coffee?

Heat will be transferred initially by conduction, which is the direct heat transfer between object (your hand and the liquid). If you leave your hand in long enough, convection will become a major factor. Convection is when currents from a liquid circulate to transfer heat.


What part of light is heat?

Infra red part of light is responsible for heat.


Does a heat lamp produce more energy than black lights?

Lamps are generally rated as to how much Power is consumed. If they were rated so that both lamps EMIT the same amount of power in their own area of the light spectrum; then NO the energy would be equal.It depends on How you are measuring the energy emitted by both lamps.A heat lamp will warm an object more than black light simply because a heat lamp generated light in the spectrum that is designed to warm an object (thermal) while the Black Light (ultraviolet) emits photons in a different part of the spectrum, one that does not efficiently heat up objects.
