How can Thermal energy can be transferred by conduction from one piece of matter to another only if they are what?
touching
Which kind of energy is transferred between molecules of touching substances during conduction?
Vibrational energy. The vibration of one molecule is transferred to adjacent molecules as it "hits" them. The vibration of molecules is otherwise known as heat or thermal energy.
How does the thermal energy of the cookies transferred to the counter?
Conduction is the term used to describe the transfer of heat energy from one body to another body when they are in contact with each other.
