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.

Cold is a lack of energy so energy can not flow from a colder object to a warmer object.

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.
In which direction does heat transfer?
The direction that heat flows in is From a warmer object to a cooler object.
Does heat always flow from cooler objects to warmer?
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.
Types of heat transfer?
The movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object is called convection currents
Flow of thermal energy from warmer to cooler substances?
Heat :)
Does heat energy occur when heat energy flows from warmer matter to cooler matter?
yes the heat will flow threw, but not create energy
Does heat flow cooler or smaller object?
Heat flow's from cooler objects.
The flow of thermal energy from warmer to cooler substances is?
Thermodynamics, which means, basically, "heat movement".
How does energy flow in relation to hot or cooler bodies?
Heat energy flows form hot to cold body naturally.
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.
What heat transfer is a transfer of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object?
This is called "heat transfer"...the answer was in the question! In a thermal gradient, energy (in the form of heat) always wants to go to areas of deficiency. Thus, there is a movement of this energy (which is called "Heat Transfer") from the warmer body to the cooler body.
When two objects of different temperature are in contact heat energy will flow from the hotter to the cooler object?
Yes, that is correct.
Describe the direction of heat flow when a warm object and a cool object touch?
The flow of heat energy from the warmer object to the cooler oneis so probable that it is considered a law in thermodynamics.
Does heat flow from a hotter body to a cooler body?
Yes, heat flows from areas of greater concentration to lower concentration. One of the primary laws of thermodynamics explains heat flow via conduction, convection, or radiation.
Does heat travel from cooler to warmer matter?
In thermodynamics, heat is defined as the energy in transfer between a system and its surroundings. In practice we consider the flow from the higher energy state to the lower energy state. In the case of thermal energy, from the body with the higher thermal energy (warmer) to the body with the lower thermal energy (cooler). In general, however, you may define the flow in either direction you wish, though if you define it as from cooler to warmer, the magnitude would be negative.
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.
