It depends on its environment.

Some facts about HEAT:

Heat will travel outwards onto the environment, but the rate of travel is exponentially related to the temperature difference between the two objects.

If you put the hot cup in the freezer, it will loose heat exponentially faster than if you put the cup at room temp.

Read up on the Laws of thermodynamics for much more interesting details about heat.

Which type of heat transfer would appear in a hot pot of coffee?

Conduction would occur in a hot pot of coffee as heat is transferred from the hot coffee to the pot through direct contact.


Example of Thermal energy flows from higher temp to low temp?

In a power station boiler, or steam raising unit to be more correct, heat flows from the hot flue gases produced by combustion of coal or oil or gas, or from the hot water outlet of a nuclear reactor, into the feedwater pumped into the boiler secondary side, and produces steam.


IS Hot coffee is stirred with a spoonthe spoon gets hot due to is it conduction convection and then radiation?

When you stir hot coffee with a spoon, the spoon gets hot primarily due to conduction. The transfer of heat from the hot coffee to the spoon occurs through direct contact. Convection and radiation may play minor roles, but conduction is the main mechanism at work in this scenario.


When hot coffee is stirred with a spoon gets hot due to?

When hot coffee is stirred with a spoon, the mechanical energy from the stirring creates friction between the spoon and the liquid, generating heat. This process is known as mechanical energy conversion into thermal energy, resulting in the coffee becoming hotter.


How does a metal spoon become hot when placed in a cup of hot coffee, demonstrating heat transfer by conduction?

When a metal spoon is placed in a cup of hot coffee, the heat from the coffee is transferred to the spoon through conduction. This means that the particles in the metal spoon start moving faster and colliding with each other, causing the spoon to become hot.
