- Q13Using the data table, which best explains the flow of thermal energy from the swimming pool water to the surrounding air?Cold energy from the air transferred to the water.the heat from the water transferred to the air until both were the same temperature.Cold energy from the water transferred to the air.the heat from the air transferred into the water until both were the same temperature.30s
- Q14In our heat transfer lab, the plastic bag lifted up off the toaster and floated to the ceiling. Why?Convection. The contact between the toaster and the table made it happen.Convection. The heat from the toaster made the air in the bag more dense, so it began to float up.Radiation. The waves of energy from the toaster hit the bag and made it less dense.Convection. The heat from the toaster made the air in the bag less dense, so it began to float up.30s
