What else can I help you with?
How are heat and conduction related?
Conduction is one way that heat spreads.
Why is conduction at synapses one way?
Neurotransmitters are only produced from one side.
What is one way in which thermal energy moves in and out of the body of a lizard?
One way thermal energy moves in and out of the body of a lizard is through conduction. The lizard's body can absorb heat from the environment (conduction in) when it basks in the sun and lose heat to colder surfaces (conduction out) when it rests on a cooler substrate.
What is a way of conduction?
This means that the flow of a nerve impulse will travel only in one direction.
Why can heat not travel by conduction through a vacuum when there is no particles?
Conduction requires the presence of matter. The way conduction works is that one molecule bumps into another molecule, transferring energy. This mechanism, obviously, requires the presence of molecules.
Why cant energy travel by conduction through empty space?
Conduction requires the presence of matter. The way conduction works, one atom or molecule bumps into another one, transferring heat energy.
What is the direct transfer of heat from one substance to a another substance that is Touching?
It is known as: conduction.
Is conduction a way that energy is transferred?
yes
Is a solid liquid or gas sread by conduction?
Conduction is a form of heat transfer. The other forms are radiation and convection. Conduction is the normal way for heat to spread throughout a solid object. Convection is the normal way for gases and liquids.
What is a description of the processof conduction of heat?
Heat conduction is when heat is directly transmitted through contact from one object to another. When two objects of different temperatures make contact with each other they strive to become in equilibrium with one another i.e. at the same temperature. This is done via vibrational energy transferred from the particles in one object to particles in the other. Vibrations which travel through solids in this way are called 'phonons' which is basically a way of quantifying the vibrational energy.
Heat transfer from one material to another by direct contact?
Conduction!
Why must substance be touching in order for conduction to occur?
Conduction occurs when heat is transferred through direct contact between substances. When substances are in contact, their particles vibrate and transfer thermal energy from one to the other. Without contact, there is no medium for the heat to pass through, so conduction cannot occur.
