1. Which method of heat transfer involves the movement of fluids (liquids or gases)?
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
Insulation
2. What happens when two objects at different temperatures are placed in contact?
Heat flows from the colder object to the hotter object.
Heat flows from the hotter object to the colder object.
No heat transfer occurs.
Both objects immediately reach the same temperature.
3. The transfer of heat through direct contact between particles is called .
4. Thermal is reached when there is no net flow of heat between objects in contact.
