Glenn is heating water in a teakettle. the hotter water at the bottom of the kettle rises. the cooler water near the top sinks and warms. which kind of transfer of heat is this?
conduction
convection
radiation
transmission

Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A process in which a fluid is heated then cold material (more dense) sinks at the bottom whereas hotter material (less dense) rises at the top is known as convection.

In convection, heat transfers from burner to the vessel and further it reaches to the fluid present into the vessel.

Therefore, we can conclude that the given situation represents convection as the kind of transfer of heat.

the molecules move in straight line until they collide with each other or with the walls of the container. collisions are perfectly elastic; when two molecules collide, they change their directions and kinetic energies, but the total kinetic energy is conserved.

explanation:

while cooking a piece of 1/2 pound beef steak, a cast iron pan (2.4kg in weight) was heated 260 celsius.
