Heat always flows from warmer objects to cooler objects, unless you have a device (like a heat pump) to prevent this. The natural tendency is for two or more objects at different temperatures to eventually all have the same temperature and this is accomplished by heat flowing from the warmer objects to the cooler objects.

Heat will flow from a hot object to a cold object until the objects reach what?
In a closed system, yes. Both objects will be at the same thermal energy level, and neither will be able to release any to the other. In the real world, this is not the case, heat would continue to dissipate until the object reaches the same thermal energy level as the air around it, approximately.
Which way round does convectional current flow?
A convection current flows in a circular pattern, with warmer material rising and cooler material sinking (due to density differences). It should not be used with conveNtional current in electricty.
Why does heat energy flow from warm areas to cooler areas?
Nature always tries to come to an state of equilibrium. Water flows from a higher to a lower level. Electricity flows from a higher potential to a lower potential. Thus heat is transferred from a warmer to a colder area until an equilibrium is reached.
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.
The energy transferred from a hotter object to a cooler one?
The law says that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. It can only be transferred from one form to another.... And energy always from higher potential to lower potential... Since hotter object is at high potential and cooler object at lower potential, the heat energy will flow from hotter to cooler object.
Can thermal energy flow from cooler objects to warmer objects?
energy alwayy flow from high density to low density
Is heat thermal energy that flows from cooler material to warmer material if not what is it then?
Heat is thermal energy. If two objects having different temperatures are brought into contact, heat will always flow from the warmer one to the cooler one, until their temperatures are equal.
Does heat flow cooler or smaller object?
Heat flow's from cooler objects.
Flow of thermal energy from warmer to cooler substances?
Heat :)
How will the flow of thermal energy affect the cocoa?
because thermal energy always flows from warmer matter to cooler matter
In what direction will heat flow between two objects with different temperatures?
From the warmer object to the colder one. page 482 in the textbook, under the soup!
When two objects at different temperature make contact what happens?
When two objects at different temperatures make contact, thermal energy tends to flow from the hotter object to the cooler object. This transfer of heat continues until the two objects reach thermal equilibrium, meaning they reach the same temperature.
A circular flow of warmer fluid and cooler fluid is called?
Molecules
In which direction direction does wind usually flow?
from cooler to warmer surfaces
The flow of thermal energy from warmer to cooler substances is?
Thermodynamics, which means, basically, "heat movement".
A circular flow of warmer fluid and cooler fluid is called an?
conduction because it heats everything
Does heat flow from warm to cooler substances?
Yes. Heat flows from a warmer to a cooler substance. The technical term is: The Second Law of Thermodynamics.
