Heat is transferred by the change in energy (heat) from one object to the other. Both objects exchange heat, some absorb it, others liberate it so that a thermal equilibrium is reached.

How is heat transferred when a person holds an ice pack?
Heat will travel from the person's hand into the ice pack, where it will excite the molecules there and warm the ice pack.
When Javier touches a hot mug of tea energy is transferred from the surface of the mug to his hand. What kind of energy is this?
The transfer of heat from cup to hand is known as conduction.
Heat energy can be transferred from a source to a receiver by?
Heat energy can be transferred from a source to a receiver by conduction, convection, and radiation.
What is the major way that heat is transferred in the troposphere?
convectionQ: What is the major way that heat is transferred into the troposphere?A: Convection
Explain the direction of heat transfer between a mug of hot cocoa sitting in a cold room and explain what eventually happens to the average kinetic energy of the cocoa as a result of the transfer.?
The heat is going from the hot cocoa outwards into the room, as this is an exothermic thing meaning it puts out heat. The average kinetic energy will be lower than original simply because there is less heat.
Why are pots made of metal and handles of pots made of plastic?
Metals are good conductors of heat, so the heat from the stove is easily transferred to the food in the pot. Handles are made of plastic because plastic is a poor conductor of heat, so that the heat from the stove is not transferred to your hand when you grab the handle.
Which type of the heat transfer is moving heat from the pot handle into the person hand?
Within the pot handle (solid) heat transfer is by conduction. Within a persons hand heat is transferred namely by conduction. Heat convection does occur by motion of the body fluids but it's slower. When you grab the hot handle of a pot you can immediately feel the sensation of "hot".Heat conduction is the mechanism responsible for this fast transfer.
What is called when you pick up a hot cup and the heat is transferred to your hand?
This is conduction
Why when a drop of wax from a burning candle falls on your hand do you feel heat?
Heat is transferred to your hand by conduction. The particles of the wax are moving faster than the particles in your skin and energy is transferred by collisions between the two sets of particles.
How is the heat transferred between the hot coffee and the part of the spoon that is in the hot coffee?
Heat will be transferred initially by conduction, which is the direct heat transfer between object (your hand and the liquid). If you leave your hand in long enough, convection will become a major factor. Convection is when currents from a liquid circulate to transfer heat.
When a warm hand is immersed in water that is 70 degrees heat is transferred from the hand to the water through a process called?
Conduction
When you touch a hot pot or pan energy moves from the pot to your hand in?
If your hand directly touches the hot pot or pan, the heat is transferred from the pot or pan to your hand by conduction.
What if A woman picks up a cup of hot cocoa and feels her hands get warmer. What statement best explains what is happening?
That means that heat energy is transferred from the hot cup, to the hands.
How is heat energy transfed from the cocoa to the spoon?
Assuming you have a cup of hot cocoa, then the heat transfer is by conduction
Does a egg transfer heat to water or does the water transfer coolness to the egg?
No where coldness is transferred. Only heat would be transferred. Even ice could not pass coldness to your hands as you hold it. Actually you lose heat right from your hand and so you feel cold.
