Question

Phoebe removes frozen vegetables from the freezer to make herself a stir-fry.She’s in a bit of a hurry, so she immerses the plastic bag of vegetables in a pot of warm water. As a result, the vegetables thaw in less than 15 minutes. Which sentences accurately describe the heat transfer that has taken place?

Answer 1

This is thermal conduction.

Step-by-step explanation:

In conduction area with higher kinetic energy (in this case how water) transfer thermal energy to an area with lower kinetic energy (in this case frozen vegetables). Thermal conduction takes place in all phases of matter (solids, liquids, gases). Rate of conduction is proportional with temperature difference between substances.
