Is a solid rod of copper a better conductor than a hollow rod of copper?
A solid rod because it has more particles in it. The heat then has a solid area to travel through and heat travels best through solids. I think you know the rest.
What is it called when Heat energy moves through a liquid?
You are probably thinking of convection, which is transfer of heat by currents set up by variations in density of the liquid.
What is name is given to a substance that does not let heat pass through it?
It i scalled insulator. The substance do not allow heat to pass through it It Is also heat resistant (dont let heat through it). An example of a heat resistant material is wood.
How does heat travel through solids?
well in a solid, when it is heated the particles get extra energy and start vibrating, when they vibrate they pass some energy to the atom next to them which also gives off heat and so on a so forth until the whole thing is heated. The process is called conduction.
A characteristic of most nonmetallic solids is that they are?
they are NOT good conductors of heat and they are brittle solids.
When heat energy travels through solid materials it is called?
The movement of heat through a solid is called heat conduction.
What method is heat transferred through a metal skewer?
Conduction is the way in which heat travels through solids
What name is given to the way in which heat travels through water?
Convection :D
How does heat through solid?
The process of conduction is how heat moves through solids. With solids, the heat energy is passed on by the atoms.
How does heat travel from one end of a solid thing to other end?
Normally heat travels through solids by conduction with a temperature gradient supplying the driving force.
How heat travels through empty space?
Heat travels through empty spaces by radiation.
How does heat travels through empty spaces?
Heat travels through empty spaces by radiation.
Do Solids usually conduct heat better then liquids and gases?
Solids do conduct heat better than gases, although not necessarily better than liquids. Some solids are actually composite materials, because they can have a porous structure which contains gas within the solid, and this results in solids that do not conduct heat very well. But it is the gas component which has this insulating property.
How is heat energy normally transmitted through solids?
Heat energy is normally transmitted through solids by conduction.
Which term is a pulling force exerted by solids?
Tension is a pulling force that is exerted by solids.
How does heat travels if there is air?
Heat travels through water and air primarily through conduction and convection. Radiation is also a significant means of heat transfer through air, but less so through water.
Heat moves through solids by?
