Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work for calculation problems.
1. Which of the following best describes the process of conduction?
Transfer of heat through fluid movement.
Transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.
Transfer of heat through direct contact of particles.
Transfer of heat through density differences.
2. Which type of material is generally the best conductor of heat?
Gases
Liquids
Non-metals
Metals
3. In conduction, heat energy is transferred from a region of higher temperature to a region of temperature.
4. The rate of heat conduction depends on the material's thermal .
5. Good conductors of heat typically have free that can easily transfer energy.
6. Conduction can occur in solids, liquids, and gases.
True
False
7. Insulators are materials that conduct heat very well.
True
False
8. Describe the microscopic mechanism of heat conduction in a metal.
9. Explain why a metal spoon feels colder than a wooden spoon at the same room temperature.
10. Observe the diagram below showing heat conduction in a metal rod. Describe what is happening to the particles at point A and how this leads to heat transfer towards point B.
