When one object is hotter than another, heat will be transferred from the hot object to the cold object. The hot object will cool down, and the cold object will heat up, until they are the same temperature.

Can an object being heated be hotter than the source heating it?

Yes, the only way for that to work is if you have the right amount of oxygen, though. Blue fire can get hotter if it's heated by red fire and sand can be heated by lightning, causing it to turn to glass. Without the the right amount of oxygen, the object being heated will only get as hot as its source. Very rarely does the object get hotter than its source.


Which transfers heat from one object to another without transferring matter?

Radiation transfers heat from one object to another without transferring matter. This occurs through electromagnetic waves emitted by the hotter object and absorbed by the cooler object.


When does heat stop flowing from one object to another?

Heat stops being transfered to another object when the other object becomes hotter than the original object the heat was radiating from (naturally). Its a law of thermodynamics that heat always goes from a hotter surface to a colder one.


What is direct transfer of heat from one object to another is?

The direct transfer of heat from one object to another is known as conduction. This process occurs when two objects at different temperatures come into contact with each other, leading to the transfer of thermal energy from the hotter object to the cooler one.


Can one object be hotter be hotter than another if they have the same temperature?

No, two objects with the same temperature will have the same level of thermal energy, so they cannot differ in temperature. Temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy of particles in a substance, so if temperatures are equal, the objects are equally hot.

How does the hotness of one object affect another?

one of the laws of thermodynamics states that heat is transferred from a hotter object to a cooler object. so the warmth of one object affects another object by transferring the heat towards that 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.

How does conduction allow thermal energy to transfer from one object to another until they reach thermal equilibrium?

Conduction is the process by which thermal energy transfers from one object to another through direct contact. When two objects at different temperatures come into contact, the hotter object transfers heat to the cooler object until they reach thermal equilibrium, or the same temperature. This transfer occurs as the particles in the hotter object vibrate and collide with the particles in the cooler object, transferring energy and causing the cooler object to heat up.


What are 2 facts about heat?

Heat is a form of energy that transfers from one object to another due to a temperature difference. The direction of heat transfer is always from a hotter object to a cooler object.


What is the energy transferred from a hotter object to a cooler one is referred to as what?

The energy transferred from a hotter object to a cooler one is referred to as heat. Heat flows from the object at a higher temperature to the object at a lower temperature until thermal equilibrium is reached.


Why do we often think of infrared waves as heat?

Any object radiates electromagnetic waves - if it is hotter, it will radiate more of it. It's one way to transfer heat from one object to another (the other are conduction, and convection). For objects with a temperature less than several hundred degrees Celsius, this radiation will be infrared.
