Which kind of heat transfer takes place if you put a spoon in a cup of soup and the spoon gets hot to the touch?
Conduction if the spoon is a conductor
How is heat transferred when a cup of hot coffee is placed in a freezer?
Heat can beradiated,conducted or travel byconvection or a combination of these three.The base of the cup would conduct the heat to the surface it is sitting on and the body of the cup would radiate the heat and the air in the freezer would transfer the heat by convection currents.
Why does a polastyreane cup feel warm?
A polystyrene cup feels warm because it is a poor conductor of heat. This means that heat is not transferred easily from the outside of the cup to the inside and the cup is unable to dissipate the heat quickly. Instead the heat generated by the liquid inside the cup is trapped making the cup feel warm to the touch.The material of a polystyrene cup is designed to insulate meaning it does not easily transfer heat. This means that heat generated by the liquid inside the cup is retained causing the cup to feel warm to the touch. Other materials such as metal or ceramic are much better conductors of heat and are better able to dissipate heat quickly.The following characteristics of polystyrene make it a poor conductor of heat:Low thermal conductivityHigh resistance to heat transferLow thermal diffusivityWhen a polystyrene cup is filled with a hot liquid the heat of the liquid is not easily transferred out of the cup making it feel warm to the touch. This is why polystyrene cups are often used for hot beverages.
Is a foam cup A good conductor of heat?
It is a good insulator of heat :)
How does the cup a liquid is in affect its temperature?
By the heat conductivity the material the cup is made from.
Tea cools more easily in clay cup ormetal cup or porcelain cup?
it will cool faster in a metal cup. - the others retain heat better.
How many points to retain the ryder cup?
The current holders only need 14 points to retain the cup.
Will heat travel faster through a glass cup or a plastic cup?
It depends on the kind of plastic but mostly (I'd think) plastic is a better insulator for heat transport
What kind of heat transfer is a cup of coffee?
A cup of coffee is an example of convection because the heat from the water warms up everything in the cup and all the atoms are bouncing off the cup[ in the coffee] of coffee because the coffee is hot.
Which cup can hold heat better a plastic cup a coffee cup or a glass cup?
A glass cup will conduct heat away quickly - a plastic cup would hold heat the best.
How many times has Holand won the world cup?
The Netherlands (Holland) has never claimed the FIFA World Cup. They retain the record for having the title "Runner-up" most number of times.
Does Styrofoam cups keep hot drinks hot or cold drinks cold?
A Styrofoam cup will do both. The Styrofoam is an insulator, and, as such, it slows the transfer of heat between the system (the drink) and the surroundings (everything outside the cup) If it is a cold drink, heat moves very slowly through the cup toward the drink. If it is a hot drink, heat moves very slowly through the cup toward the surrounding air.
Which colors should i use for the experiment which color plastic cup attracts the most heat?
Black
When you Place A Cup Of Sand And A Cup Of Water In The Sun Which One Will Heat Up Faster?
The sand is most likely to heat up faster, particularly if it is dark. The water will have some evaporation, which will keep it cooler. It can also vary by how it is subjected to the sun's heat, like a flat pan or a colored cup, or clear vessel.
What cup is easier to hold with hot water a plastic one or metal?
a styrofoam cup. i tried it on my science project
Are Italy the only team to retain the world cup?
No, Brasil have won it in 1958 and 1962.
Will a metal cup or a styrofoam cup keep the hot water warm after a short time?
It is the Styrofoam cup as it is not a good conductor of heat but the metal cup is a good conductor of heat.
