Question

If I put a rock that is 100˚C into a bowl of water which is 50˚C, does the heat from the rock transfer to the water or does the heat from the water transfer to the rock?

Answer 1

Explanation:

conduction

• Heat flows in solids by conduction, which occurs when two objects in contact with each other transfer heat between them. That happens because the molecules hit each other, and the faster moving molecules in the hot object spread that energy into the cooler object.
