When a warm object is placed near or in contact. With a cooler object. Which type of energy will be transferred?

Thermal energy is the sum of all kinetic and potential energy in a substance. Heat is the thermal energy that flows from a warmer object to a cooler object. Heat flows only one way, from warmer to cooler objects. Net heat transfer ends when two objects reach the same temperature.........if this Help?


Can energy pass to a hotter subject to a cooler object?

There's no scientific reason why heat energy can't flow from a cooler objectto a warmer object, making the cool one cooler and the warm one warmer.But the probability of it is so small that the statement "That never happens." isused in the field of Thermodynamics as if the statement were a law of nature.


What are characteristics of energy?

Radiant Energy is electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves. Radiant energy includes visible light, x-rays, gamma rays and radio waves


Where does the wind get its energy from?

The Sun. A fraction of the suns energy heats the air. Warm air rises higher into the atmosphere and cooler, more dense, air moves in to replace it causing the wind.


Is heat energy transferred from a warmer object to a cooler object?

No, heat ALWAYS travels from hot to cold. It is not actual heat moving, it is energy. The more energy something has, the warmer it feels. For example, when you touch a metal railing on a winter day, it feels cold. That is because your hand has more energy than the rail. The energy from your hand is traveling into the railing to equalize the energy (moving towards equilibrium. The loss of energy in your hand is what gives you the "cold" feeling. Heat/energy NEVER moves from cold to hot.

Why are hurricanes not stronger when the seas are cold?

Because the hurricane gets its energy from the heat in warm water, and in cooler water there is less heat and thus less energy


Why does temperature affect the speed of sound?

Sound travels by vibrating molecules and passing the energy on to a nearby molecule. Sound travels faster through warm air than cold air because the molecules in the warm air are vibrating faster.


How do landforms and bodies of water affect a typhoon?

Landforms and bodies of water affect typhoons based on what or how strong the energy is released by the landforms and bodies of water. Typhoons gain energy from warm ocean water and lose energy over cold water. Particularly, landforms lessen the strength of typhoons whenever the winds impact them
