Match the following materials with their classification based on thermal conductivity:

Copper = Thermal conductor Rubber = Thermal insulator Aluminum = Thermal conductor Glass = Thermal insulator

Match the following examples with the method of heat transfer they represent:

Steam movement in a pot = Convection Absorption of energy from the sun = Radiation Heat flowing from food to utensils during cooking = Conduction Dark surfaces absorbing more heat = Radiation

Match the following fluid types with their ability to participate in convection:

Gases = Can participate in convection Liquids = Can participate in convection Solids = Cannot participate in convection Plasma = Can participate in convection

Match the following statements with their importance of heat transfer in everyday life:

Regulating body and environmental temperature = Ensuring comfort and well-being Transferring heat during cooking = Enabling food preparation Power generation, manufacturing, and transportation = Industrial processes role Absorbing energy from the sun = Causing body to feel hot Signup and view all the answers

Match the following terms with their definitions:

Heat = Energy transferred from one object to another due to temperature difference Temperature = Relative hotness or coldness of an object Heat transfer = Process of energy transfer from one object to another due to temperature difference Thermal conductivity = Ability of a material to conduct heat Signup and view all the answers

Match the following statements with the correct type of heat transfer:

Conduction = Takes place between objects in contact with each other Radiation = Heat transfer that does not require a medium or pathway Convection = Heat transfer through the movement of fluids Thermal equilibrium = State reached when temperatures of objects become equal Signup and view all the answers

Match the following factors with their role in heat transfer:

Temperature difference = Necessary for heat to flow from higher to lower temperature region Medium or pathway = Required for heat transfer except in radiation Thermal equilibrium = State where temperatures of objects become equal Thermal conductivity = Affects the rate of heat transfer based on material ability Signup and view all the answers
