What is heat transfered from a cold object to a warm one?
Heat is a measure of how quickly the atoms of an object are vibrating. When a warm object touches a cooler object, the vibrating atoms from the warm object cause the atoms of the cooler object to vibrate more, and thus become warmer. There are three main ways of heat transfer conduction convection and radiation.
Are shadows made when light is blocked by an object?
No, a shadow is a concept, like cold, which is the absence of another thing (light for a 'normal' shadows or energy for shadows in general, heat for cold). As such, shadows are not made, but exist in areas absent of energy.
Matter in object?
mass is defined as the amount of matter in an object
What it the circling of one object about another?
one complete circular movement made by one object around another object
Is a bobby pin a conductor or an insulator?
Metal thumbtacks are conductors. The metal pin of the plastic headed tacks will also conduct electricity.
Which type of objects absorb heat most readily?
The objects that absorb heat most readily are those with more of the following qualities:the object is largethe object has a large surface areathe object is blackthe object has a matte finish (it is not shiny)the object is made from a conductor such as metalthe object is much colder than its surroundingsthe object has a high specific heat capacity
Can you give me one example of an object that can be made using the materials that are good conductors of heat?
a frying pan it is made of metal a great conduter of heat
What object is made black so that it emits heat?
coal is made black so that it emits light
What an object is made of and the color of light that strikes it determines the what?
The material an object is made of and the color of light it reflects can determine how hot an object gets when it is left out in the sun. Color and material both affect the amount of heat an object will absorb.
What happens when heat meets a solid?
If the solid is made of ice, then it will melt. But if you have enough heat, you can make the solid item melt.
What are the 5 man made heat sources?
Machines, Radioactivity Electricity
In order for heat to be conducted from one object to another what does the object need to made out of?
All objects conduct heat to some degree, even though some conduct it better than others. Objects are made out of matter, and that is the only requirement. If you want to know what an object would need to be made out of in order to conduct heat efficiently, that would be another question. Generally speaking, solids and liquids conduct heat better than gases so. Solids that contain trapped gas within them do not conduct heat as well as solids that don't.
The amount of thermal energy stored in a object depends on?
The amount of heat energy in an object depends on three things : it's temperature, it's mass, and the material it's made from.
What happens if you microwave Crayola model magic?
Crayons are made of wax. Wax melts in heat. That's your answer.
What contributions did Sadi Carnot and James Young and Joseph Black and Count Rumford made to the nature of heat?
Sadi Carnot discovered that the transformation of heat into mechanical energy could only occur when thermal energy flows from a hot object to a cool object. he also discovered that in this process some heat was always lost.
Which type of heat transfer does an oven mitt reduce?
An oven mitt reduces heat transfer through conduction. Because oven mitts are usually made of materials that are poor conductors of heat, the transfer of heat from the hot object to your hand is reduced when wearing them.
What melts Styrofoam?
Fire melts Styrofoam, also known as polyurethane. Mostly extreme heat can melt any foam or plastic-like object. Unless that object is made with Mylar or asbestos.
