Human beings are able to transmit their heat (thermal energy) by direct touch or contact. We also find that static electricity (electromagnetic energy) can be transmitted between individuals as well. It should be noted that pushing on someone transfers motion (mechanical energy) to that person.
What else can I help you with?
Energy that is transmitted by direct contact or touch?
Conduction Energy ;p
What energy is transmitted through direct contact or touch?
Yes. Thermal energy is moved by contact in a process call conduction. You see this when you touch a hot plate and burn your finger. Kinetic energy is transfered by touch as well. You can see this when you hit a that isn't moving and then then ball rolls. There are other example as well.
What energy is transmitted by direct contact or touch?
We apply the term conduction to the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact. The other two mechanisms that transfer thermal energy are radiation and convection.
What is the most common way to catch swine flu?
Direct hand to hand contact or other direct touch with a person who has it or contact with items or surfaces they have touched.
What is it called When you touch a hot pot or pan and energy moves from the pot to your hand?
That process is called thermal conduction, where heat energy is transferred from a hot object to a cooler object by direct contact.
What is the direct transfer of thermal energy between 2 objects that touch?
conduction
What is it called when thermal energy transfers from one object to another by touch?
That process is called conduction. Heat is transferred from a warmer object to a cooler one when they are in direct contact with each other.
What is heat energy transfer when two objects touch?
Heat energy transfer when two objects touch is called conduction. It occurs as thermal energy flows from the object at a higher temperature to the object at a lower temperature through direct contact. The rate of heat transfer through conduction depends on the materials of the objects and the temperature difference between them.

What type of transfer of energy can take place with little or no matter present?
Some forces, such as gravity or the electrostatic force, can act without direct contact. If a force is applied over a certain distance (such as, when an object falls), work is done, i.e., energy is transferred. Ah, but what is direct contact? One electrostatic field pushing against another? If I touch something, it is the electrostatic fields pushing against each other. There is no direct contact!
Do objects have to touch for a force to be involved?
No, objects do not have to touch for a force to be involved. Forces, such as gravitational or electromagnetic forces, can act between objects even when they are not in direct contact.
What is it called when thermal energy is transferred between two objects of different tem peratures touch?
This process is called conduction. Heat is transferred from the hotter object to the colder one through direct contact between their molecules.
