9. A saucepan is used to heatup some water. How is heattransferred through thealuminum pan and through theplastic handle?

Answer»

Answer:

When energy is transferred to an object, the energy of the particles increases. This means the particles have more kinetic energy and they start to move and vibrate faster. As the particles are moving faster they "bump" into other particles and TRANSFER some of their energy to those neighbouring particles. In this way, the energy is transferred through the substance to the other end. This process is called CONDUCTION.

Explanation:

Have you noticed that when you put a COLD, metal teaspoon into your hot cup of TEA, the teaspoon handle also warms up after a while? Have you ever WONDERED how this warmth "moved" from the hot tea to the cold teaspoon and warmed it up? This is one way in which energy is transferred and this is called conduction.
