Question

question 10 of 10 svens team put its insulated ice cube into a sealed plastic container. which type of thermal energy transfer was the team trying to prevent? a. translation b. conduction c. convection d. radiation

Explanation:

Insulation in a sealed container mainly reduces heat - transfer through direct contact (conduction). Convection requires a fluid medium for bulk movement of heat, and radiation is heat transfer through electromagnetic waves. Translation is not a form of thermal energy transfer. The insulation is most effective against conduction.

Answer:

B. Conduction
