Two students place three ice cubes in a glass of water that was at room temperature. Which of the following scenarios would best describe the results of the investigation?
Energy from the water will transfer to the ice cubes, causing the ice to melt.
Cold from the ice cubes will transfer to the water, causing the water to cool.
1. Using the image identify the three forms of heat transfer.
A = Conduction B = Convection C = Radiation
A = Radiation B = Conduction C = Convection
A = Convection B = Conduction C = Radiation
A = Radiation B = Convection C = Conduction
