Heat is energy (of motion), this can 'travel' from 'warm to cold'.

Cold is a temperature (absolute or relative to surroundings with higher temperature) and can NOT travel.

Temperature is a property of matter, it is not (a kind of) energy.

(The same is with 'warmth')

What travel faster heat or cold?

Heat travels faster than cold. This is because heat is the transfer of energy from a warmer object to a cooler one, which occurs through molecular collisions. Cold, on the other hand, is simply the absence of heat energy.


What is the better conductor of heat glass or plastic?

Glass is a better conductor of heat compared to plastic. This means heat travels more easily through glass than plastic, allowing glass to heat up or cool down faster when in contact with a heat source or a cold surface.


How does heat travel, and in which direction does it typically move, according to the principle that heat travels from hot to cold?

Heat travels through conduction, convection, and radiation. According to the principle that heat moves from hot to cold, it typically moves from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature.


Does heat travel from cold objects to hot objects?

No, heat naturally flows from hot objects to cold objects. This is based on the second law of thermodynamics, which states that heat always moves in the direction that increases the entropy of a system.


In water heat travels up much faster than it travels down Explain?

Heat travels faster in water when moving upwards because of the natural convection currents created by differences in water temperature. As water near the heat source warms up, it becomes less dense and rises, carrying heat with it. In contrast, heat traveling downwards must overcome the resistance of colder, denser water above, slowing down its transmission.

Does warm water travels faster than cold water?

Yes, as the hydrogen molecules have been charged through heat energy.


Do molecules move faster with heat or with cold?

heat


What direction does heat travel in?

Heat travels from Hot to cold. Not up!


Does hair grow faster in heat?

No cold. This is because when cold, the body and all things in it regenerate faster to produce or accumulate heat.-A.S.


Why does metal get cold faster than other materials?

I think its because of metal's heat conducting properties. actually , it is right but you really need to explain.metal is a conductor which means heat travels through it.when you touch metal it takes heat away from your hand that's why it feels so cold.


Does sound travel faster in heat or water?

Sound doesn't travel in heat. It travels in a physical medium.

Why does heat travel faster by conduction in some objects?

Heat travels faster in some objects by conduction because they have free or mobile electrons for the conduction of heat energy.Such is the case with metals.


Does a banana rot faster in the heat or cold?

A banana will rot faster in the heat. It will metabolize faster when its internal temperature is higher. This runs the same for avocados.
