Thermal energy travels through the bottom of the pan by?

conduction – where heat is transferred from the heat source to the metal pan through direct contact. The molecules in the hot source transfer their kinetic energy to the molecules in the pan, causing them to vibrate and increase in temperature.


How is thermal energy transferred through water?

There are three different modes of transfer of heat CONDUCTION: Especially in metals. Thermal energy here is considered to be the lattice vibrations in the metal. So, by successive vibrations, as we heat one end of the rod the other end gets hot. CONVECTION: In this process, heat is considered in the form of kinetic energy of the molecules. So as we heat the bottom of a vessel containing water those molecules at the bottom gain kinetic energy and shoot up to reach the top. Thus the thermal energy is transferred due to the movement of the molecules. Interesting information. Water is good convector but a very bad conductor! RADIATION: Here thermal energy is transported neither by the lattice vibrations nor by the movement of molecules It passes even through free space in the form of electromagnetic waves i.e. in the form of electric and magnetic energy.


What causes heat in air molecules in a hot air balloon to carry thermal energy to the top of the balloon?

As the air inside the balloon is heated, its molecules gain kinetic energy and move faster. The hotter air molecules are less dense and rise to the top of the balloon due to convection currents. This results in a temperature difference between the top and bottom of the balloon, allowing heat energy to transfer upwards.


What is the transfer of heat from a stove burner to a pan?

The transfer of heat from a stove burner to a pan occurs through conduction. The hot burner directly heats the bottom of the pan, causing the molecules in the pan to move faster and increase in temperature. This process continues until thermal equilibrium is reached.


Explain why air has pressure?

The simplest explanation is that air is composed of gases. Gases are composed of molecules. Molecules have mass. The closer molecules get to the center and bottom of the gravity well, the more closely packed they become, because successive "layers" pack down on those below, piling up. The weight of the gases on top of those on the bottom compress those on the bottom.

Heated air molecules in a hot air balloon soon carry thermal energy to the top of the balloon this is an example of?

Convection. In this case, the heated air molecules rise due to their lower density, carrying thermal energy from the heat source at the bottom of the balloon to the cooler top part of the balloon.


Experiment to prove that gases are poor thermal conductors?

There are many experiments you can perform in order to prove that gases are poor thermal conductors. You can try heating up an enclosed space from the top and feeling the bottom for example.
