In which scenario does heat transfer occur through both conduction and convection?
  1. A hot cup of coffee cooling down
  2. A metal rod heated at one end
  3. A warm room losing heat to the outside
  4. A block of ice melting

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In which scenario does heat transfer occur through both conduction and convection?
  • Step 1: Imagine you have a hot cup of coffee.
  • Step 2: The coffee is hot, so it has a lot of heat energy.
  • Step 3: The coffee heats up the cup it is in. This is called conduction, where heat moves from the hot coffee to the cooler cup.
  • Step 4: The cup, now warm, heats the air around it. This is called convection, where warm air rises and cooler air moves in to take its place.
  • Step 5: As the coffee cools down, both conduction and convection are happening at the same time.
