    What type of heat transfer is happening in this picture? - ProProfs

    What type of heat transfer is happening in this picture?

    • Conduction

    • Convection

    • Radiation

    Correct Answer
    A. Convection
    Explanation
    The type of heat transfer happening in the picture is convection. Convection occurs when heat is transferred through the movement of a fluid, such as air or water. In the picture, it is likely that the heat is being transferred through the movement of air, as indicated by the presence of rising hot air currents. This is a characteristic of convection, making it the correct answer.

    Temperature is a measurement of the average kinetic energy of individual atoms or molecules in a substance.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Temperature is a measurement of the average kinetic energy of individual atoms or molecules in a substance. This means that the higher the temperature, the faster the atoms or molecules are moving. Therefore, the statement "Temperature is a measurement of the average kinetic energy of individual atoms or molecules in a substance" is true.

    Heat is the transfer of energy from an area of cooler temperatures to an area of warmer temperatures.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Heat is actually the transfer of energy from an area of higher temperatures to an area of lower temperatures. This transfer occurs until thermal equilibrium is reached, where the temperatures of the two areas become equal. Therefore, the given statement is false.
