20. Heat and Temperature

A steel rod is initially very cold. If it is placed close to a fire, which method of heat transfer will primarily cause the rod to become warmer?

Which type of heat transfer is primarily responsible for cooking a pancake when it is placed on a hot stove pan?

The temperature within the Earth’s crust increases about 1.0 C° for each 30 m of depth. The thermal conductivity of the crust is 0.80 J/s C°. Compare this heat to the 1000 W/m² that reaches the Earth’s surface in 1.0 h from the Sun.

Which of the following best describes how $\mathrm{thermal energy}$ is transferred between two objects at different $\mathrm{temperatures}$?

Which of the following is NOT a primary mechanism by which heat travels from one place to another?

Which description best explains the flow of $Q$ (heat)?

Which type of energy transfer occurs during $\mathrm{conduction}$?

Which type of heat transfer can occur through empty space?

Uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun causes which of the following phenomena?

Which of the following factors directly affect the rate of heat flow through a material?

Which of the following is not a common form of heat transfer?

Why is heat transfer considered a nonequilibrium phenomenon?

Which of the following is the primary mechanism by which energy is transferred from $\mathrm{Earth}’s$ surface to $\mathrm{Earth}’s$ atmosphere?

Which of the following best describes how $\mathrm{thermal energy}$ is transferred during $\mathrm{conduction}$?
