Question

FOR 100 POINTS, IF INCORECT...

In wintertime, Jerron is in a room with a furnace.

He builds a fire inside the furnace in order to keep warm.

After 20 minutes, the entire room increased temperature by 15 degrees.

1. What method of heat transfer occurred?

2. Describe how it worked in the room.

Answer 1

#1

Heat transfer occurred in the room through radiation

This is where heat is transmitted through vacuum or an empty space from a point to another.

#2

From the furnace, the air molecules nearer the region gained higher kinetic energy hence colliding with other molecules in the room. This causes a positive temperature gradient which causes an increment change in temperature in the room.
