We apply the term conduction to the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact. The other two mechanisms that transfer thermal energy are radiation and convection.

∙ 6y agoHuman beings are able to transmit their heat (thermal energy) by direct touch or contact. We also find that static electricity (electromagnetic energy) can be transmitted between individuals as well. It should be noted that pushing on someone transfers motion (mechanical energy) to that person.

The transfer of mechanical energy by direct contact is called work.

What energy is transmitted through direct contact or touch?
Yes. Thermal energy is moved by contact in a process call conduction. You see this when you touch a hot plate and burn your finger. Kinetic energy is transfered by touch as well. You can see this when you hit a that isn't moving and then then ball rolls. There are other example as well.
What type of transfer of energy can take place with little or no matter present?
Some forces, such as gravity or the electrostatic force, can act without direct contact. If a force is applied over a certain distance (such as, when an object falls), work is done, i.e., energy is transferred. Ah, but what is direct contact? One electrostatic field pushing against another? If I touch something, it is the electrostatic fields pushing against each other. There is no direct contact!
What is the difference between the heat transfers?
Heat transfer is when heat energy is transmitted, or transferred. It happens through convection. conduction, or radiation. (convection = through currents like in a pot of soup warming on the stove- hot soup at the bottom rises and cooler soup sinks. conduction= direct contact. You touch a hot pan, the pan conducts heat energy to your hand. Radiation= energy traveling through empty space, like sun's heat to earth). Heat transformation is when heat energy goes to another FORM of energy. For example, heat energy can be transferred to water, which produces steam, which can turn a turbine (mechanical energy), which can create electricity.
What is the transfer of heat by conduction?
Transfer of heat by conduction is when transfer of heat occurs through touch. Vibrating atoms come in contact with neighboring atoms transferring some of their energy (heat).
What are Surfaces that touch food are called?
Surface that touch food are called "food contact surfaces".
Energy that is transmitted by direct contact or touch?

What is contact transmitted virus?
It is transmitted when you come in contact (e.g. touch) with it.

What is the most common way to catch swine flu?
Direct hand to hand contact or other direct touch with a person who has it or contact with items or surfaces they have touched.
What is the direct transfer of thermal energy between 2 objects that touch?

How are germs transmitted?
Germs can be transmitted through direct contact with an infected person, such as shaking hands or kissing, as well as through indirect contact with surfaces contaminated with germs. They can also be spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Additionally, germs can be transmitted through vectors like mosquitoes or ticks.
What are four simple ways to interfere with transmission of diseases?
Depends on the disease.... Things like Mono or staff infections (MERSA) can be transmitted via touch (sharing drinks, contact with wounds etc) More serious health diseases can be transmitted through contact of bodily fluids such as blood (aids, hepatitis), STDs come from contact of intimate regions.
When a puppy gets prvo shot when can they touch the ground?
A puppy who has just receieved a parvo vaccine can touch the ground immediately, as long as they are not in direct contact with a canine who has the parvo virus. It is unlikely for a puppy to contact parvo immediately after vaccination.
In order to get a cold sore does someone have to come in direct contact with an active sore?
no it can be spread if you eat or drink the same consumables as the cold sore person or if they touch their face and then touch you or a door knob and then you touch the door knob and then touch your face
