Question

describing conduction in foil
which statements describe how heat flows in foil?
check all that apply.
heat flows in all directions.
heat flows from left to right only.
the atoms on top of the foil absorb heat first.
the atoms near the candle absorb heat first.
heat flows from the cooler atoms to the warmer atoms.
heat flows from the warmer atoms to the cooler atoms.

Explanation:

• Heat conduction occurs in all directions in a material like foil.
• The atoms closest to the heat source (the candle) absorb heat first.
• Heat always flows from warmer regions (warmer atoms) to cooler regions (cooler atoms) due to the temperature gradient.

Answer:

Heat flows in all directions.
The atoms near the candle absorb heat first.
Heat flows from the warmer atoms to the cooler atoms.
