Question

NEED HELP ASAP!!!Determine which heat transfers below are due to the process of conduction.

I) You walk barefoot on the hot street and it burns your toes.


II) When you get into a car with hot black leather seats in the middle of the summer and your skin starts to get burned when you touch the seats.


III) A flame heats the air inside a hot air balloon and the balloon rises.


IV) A boy sits to the side of a campfire. He is 10 feet away, but still feels warm.


Question 1 options:


I & II



III & IV



I, II, & IV



II, III, IV

Answer 1

I and II are the correct answers. You burn yourself because the heat from the objects gets transferred over to you. Therefore, coming into contact with something that is hot can cause burns.

Answer 2

What is conduction?

In simple words, conduction is the transfer of heat that occurs when heat passes from one thing to another. It basically occurs by the collision of random particles and the movement of electrons that are occuring in the heated object, and then passes to you.

So, what option is correct?

Well, just choose the option that matches our definition of conduction. Note that conduction is basically "getting burned", which is just a way of saying "transfer of intense heat".

Answer:

A. - I & II.

Hope it helped,
