Question

multiple choice 5 points which is an example of heating through conduction? the sun heats up the inside of a car a ceiling fan pushes warm air downwards in winter using a greenhouse to grow plants in winter touching a hot stove

Explanation:

To determine the example of heating through conduction, we analyze each option:

• "The sun heats up the inside of a car" is radiation (heat transfer via electromagnetic waves).
• "A ceiling fan pushes warm air downwards in winter" involves convection (heat transfer by fluid movement).
• "Using a greenhouse to grow plants in winter" is related to the greenhouse effect (radiation and trapped heat, not conduction).
• "Touching a hot stove" involves direct contact, where heat transfers from the stove (hotter object) to the hand (colder object) through conduction (heat transfer through direct molecular contact in a solid).

Answer:

D. touching a hot stove
