Question

1 three metal cubes with different temperatures are placed side by side, as shown in the picture below. which of the following describes a way in which heat energy will be transferred by conduction? a sample 1 to samples 2 and 3 b sample 3 to sample 2 to sample 1 c sample 3 to sample 1 to sample 2 d sample 2 to samples 1 and 3

Explanation:

Conduction transfers heat between touching objects, from higher to lower temperature. Sample 2 has the highest temperature (38°C), while Sample 1 (30°C) and Sample 3 (28°C) are cooler. Heat will flow from the warmer Sample 2 to both cooler adjacent samples.

Answer:

D. Sample 2 to Samples 1 and 3
