Question

When we hold a bowl of ice

cream and our hands get cold,
what is happening?
A. The heat from our hands is warming the
ice cream by radiation.
B. The heat from our hands is warming the
ice cream by conduction.
C. The heat from our hands is warming the
ice cream by convection.

Answer 1

Answer: B

Explanation: The heat from our hands is warming the ice cream by conduction.

Answer 2

B. The heat from our hands is warming the ice cream by conduction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conduction is the direct passage of heat energy between two things. In this situation, the ice cream is receiving heat energy from your hands, melting it and making your hands feel cold. Heat energy is transferred through conduction when the ice cream is cold enough to allow your hands' heat energy to flow into it.
