Which of the following best defines conduction?

the movement of energy by waves that travel through space
the movement of a hot liquid of gas from one place to another, carrying energy
with it
the movement of energy Yom one substance to another by direct contact​

Answer 1

The movement of energy from 1 to another without moving the objects themselves. When I sit on the couch & the couch is 69 degrees Fahrenheit, I am 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, I will transfer heat just due to the fact that I am a different temperature. The substances will heat up due to my rump and it will go along the couch. We will eventually reach a point of equilibrium. Let us say 86.53 degrees.
