Question

choose the correct answer. when we hold a bowl of ice cream and our hands get cold, what is happening? the heat from our hands is warming the ice cream by conduction. the heat from our hands is warming the ice cream by radiation. the heat from our hands is warming the ice cream by convection.

Explanation:

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact. When holding an ice - cream bowl, our hands are in direct contact with the bowl and the ice - cream, and heat from our hands is transferred to the ice - cream by conduction. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves and doesn't require direct contact. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). In this case, it's direct contact heat transfer, not radiation or convection.

Answer:

The heat from our hands is warming the ice cream by conduction.
