Question

transfer of energy by means of contact is known as

Answer 1

Through heat transfer

Answer 2

conduction

the transfer of energy through contact is known as conduction. conduction is the transfer of energy through direct contact with each other.metals foe example are good conductors of heat

when a hotter object is in contact with a cold object,heat will be transferred from the hotter object to the cold object through conduction until an equilibrium is reached.

conduction involves particles, when an object is heated, the particles vibrates hence transferring heat to the adjacent particle
