Heat Transfer and Heat vs. Temperature Quiz

Ethan and Lily are having a debate. Ethan says that heat is transferred from one object to another through direct contact by convection, but Lily thinks it's conduction. Michael, being the science whiz, knows the answer. Who do you think is correct?

• Ethan - convection

• Lily - conduction

• Both are correct

• Neither are correct

What is the difference between heat and temperature?

• Heat is a measure of the total energy of a system, while temperature is a measure of the amount of heat energy in a system.

• Heat is the transfer of energy, while temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles.

• Heat and temperature are the same thing.

• Heat is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles, while temperature is the transfer of energy.
