Question

In Your own words, explain how thermal energy is transferred by conduction when you cook eggs in a pan.

Answer 1

When food or liquids become hot, their molecules absorb energy, begin vibrating rapidly, and start to bounce off of each other. As they collide, heat energy is produced and transferred, which warms and cooks our food.

Answer 2

Answer:

The egg is in direct contact with the pan, so the fast-moving particles of the hot pan collide and transfer energy to the particles of the cold egg. The temperature of the egg rises, and the egg begins to cook. transfer of thermal energy through a substance, or between substances in contact.
