Question

Devon places sliced potatoes in a package of aluminum foil. He puts a metal grate over a campfire and sets the package on the grate. He warms his hands over the fire while he waits and watches the hot air carry ashes into the sky. When he removes the foil package, the grate and foil are hot, and the food is cooked.

Which part of this scenario represents conduction?



The food cooks inside the foil.
Devon warms his hands over the fire.
The hot air rises into the sky.
The grate is hot when Devon is done cooking.

Answer 1

the food makes contact with the foil wich represents conduction so the answer is A, hope this helps ( ;w;)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is "The food cooks inside the foil".

Step-by-step explanation:

In conduction , there is no actual movement of matter. Heat flows from the hotter body to the colder body but when the two bodies are placed in contact with each other.

In convection, there is a physical movement of matter.

Radiation is the emission of the energy. Heat travels through a vacuum in the radiation.

In the given problem, Devon places sliced potatoes in a package of aluminum foil. He puts a metal grate over a campfire and sets the package on the grate.

When he removes the foil package, the grate and foil are hot, and the food is cooked. Here, the heat is transferred from the campfire to the metal grate to the aluminium fire and then to the food. The metal grate and the aluminium foil are in contact with each other. Here, the conduction takes place.

Therefore, the scenario, "The food cooks inside the foil" represents the conduction from the given option.
