Question

What is the only method of heat transfer not mentioned in the story so far?

The kids were thrilled to see their grandma, but less than excited to do a day's worth of chores. 'Don't worry Mom. We will take care of everything,' Frank called as Mom hurried out the door: 'Okay, first on the list is to clean the garage and the front lawn.' They went through the side door to the garage. 'WoW! It is so hot in here! It's definitely not this hot in the house,' gasped Jenny. She could feel beads of sweat beginning to form on her face. They picked up all their sporting equipment and pool accessories from the floor and swept the entire area. Afterwards, they headed outside to the front lawn. Frank grabbed his bike that had been sitting outside for a few days. The metal handlebars felt hot on his hands."

Answer 1

The method of heat transfer not mentioned in the story is radiation, which involves the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves and does not require a medium.

Step-by-step explanation:

The only method of heat transfer not mentioned in the story so far is radiation. Heat transfer can occur in three ways: conduction, convection, and radiation. While the story provides examples that suggest conduction (the hot metal handlebars) and possibly convection (the difference in temperature inside and outside the house), it does not mention radiation explicitly. Radiation refers to the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, which can occur through space and does not require a medium like air or water to transfer heat.
