Which of the following are methods of
- a.
Convection - b.
Conduction - c. Temperature
- d.
Radiation - e. Potential energy
Choose the correct option.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The correct options are “a. Convection, b. Conduction, d. Radiation”.
Explanation of Solution
Convection is the moment of hot molecules of water or air from a region of hot reservoir to a region of cold reservoir.
Conduction is the flow of heat from one solid medium to another solid medium when placed in contact.
Temperature is the degree of heat present in an object. It is the amount of hotness or coldness of the body.
Radiation is the emission of heat energy in the forms of a wave. This type of heat transfer is similar to light.
Potential energy is the amount of energy required to bring a unit positive charge from infinity to that point.
Therefore, the processes by which heat is transferred are convection, conduction, and radiation. Therefore, options a, b, and d are correct.
The temperature and potential energy cannot perform heat transfer, therefore, option c and e are incorrect.
Conclusion:
Hence, the correct options are “a. Convection, b. Conduction, d. Radiation”.

- When a driver brakes an automobile, the friction between the brake drams and the brake shoes converts the cars kinetic energy to thermal energy. If a 1 500-kg automobile traveling at 30 m/s comes to a halt, how much does the temperature rise in each of the four 8.0-kg iron brake drums?

- (a) The number of kilocalories in food is determined by calorimetry techniques in which the food is burned and the amount at heat transfer is measured. How many kilocalories per gram are there in a 5.00g peanut if the energy from burning it is transferred to 0.500 kg of water held in a 0.100kg aluminum cup, causing a 54.9C temperature increase?
