Which way thermal energy will flow when hold a cup with a hot drink in your hand?
Some flows into your hands by conduction, some is lost to the surrounding air by convection
Which way thermal energy will flow when you hold a cup with hot drink in your hands?
It depends whether or not what you hold it with is warmer or cooler than the iced tea. In most cases it will probably be held in our hand which is likely to be warmer than the iced tea and so the thermal energy will flow from your hand, through the glass and then into the iced tea - warming it up. If whatever you are holding it with is colder then the thermal energy will move from the iced tea to the object with which you are holding it and the tea will cool down even more.
What happens in terms of the transfer of energy as a heat when you hold a snowball in your hands?
When you hold a snowball in your hands, the heat energy produced by your hands is transferred into the fusion of ice to water. Fusion is an endothermic reaction.
What is the relationship between potential energy and thermal energy?
Hold a rock in the air ... it has potential energy. Drop it ... the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. It hits the ground and stop ... the kinetic energy will be converted into thermal energy. Note that the total energy in each case is the same.
What happens in terms of the tranfer of energy as heat when you hold a snowball in your hands?
Heat energy flows from the warmer (the hands in this case) to the cooler (the snowball). The flow of energy first raises the snowball's temperature (outer portion) to approximately zero degrees Celsius. Additional heat flow causes a phase change from snow (a form of ice) to water. This continues until all ice is converted. Further heat flow raises the temperature of any remaining water until it reaches skin temperature, when heat flow will cease.

In dipole-dipole forces how thermal energy causes the molecules not to have perfect alignment?
Thermal energy increases the rotational or vibrational motion of molecules and because the intermolecules are not strong enough to hold them it changes their position to some extent and the alignment is
When you hold a piece of ice in your handin which direction does heat energy folw?
Heat energy would flow from the hand to the ice, unless the hand is colder than the ice, in which case the heat energy would flow from the ice to the hand.
How Can Thermal Energy Be Moved?
Using a material with a high thermal conductivity is best. For example silver and copper both have a high thermal conductivity. If you hold one end of a copper pipe in fire, the other end will heat up quite rapidly.
Do proboscis monkeys hold hands?
yes they do hold hands
When you hold onto a cold item your hands feel cold why does this happen?
because the cold energy is moving toward the warm energy and the cold is taking over.
On Sonic X when does Sonic hold hands with Amy?
they don't hold hands
