Answer: The piece of cheese melts when it’s placed on the hamburger because conduction occurs. The hamburger is warmer than the cheese, so thermal energy is transferred from the hamburger to the cheese, causing it to melt.

Explanation: It’s the sample response on edge 2021

Answer: The cheese melts on a hamburger because the burger has more thermal energy than the cheese, and because thermal energy travels from a warmer substance to a cooler substance, the cheese will melt due to substance reaction, and conduction coming from the hamburger onto the cheese when the cheese is placed on the hamburger.

Explanation: Because of thermal energy transfer. I hope I helped! :)
