Erick lights two fires. Above Fire 1, he puts a long piece of iron and lays a steak on top. Above the Fire 2, he puts a slab of rubber and also lays a steak on top of that.

Which of the following is most likely to happen?

• The steak above Fire 1 cooks well because iron insulates the meat.

• The steak above Fire 2 cooks well because of conduction.

• The steak above Fire 1 cooks well because iron is a good conductor of heat.

• The steak above Fire 2 cooks well because there is more radiation.

Breyon is cooking dinner for his family. He puts a pot of water on the stove's hot plate to boil. Which of the following correctly describes the heat transfer occurring on the stove?

• The pot is heated by conduction, the water is heated by convection.

• The pot is heated by convection, the water is heated by conduction.

• The pot is heated by a conductor and the water is heated by an insulator

• The pot and water are heated by convection.

When heat is transferred through a fluid (liquid or gas), this type of energy transfer is occurring:

• Conduction

• Convection

• Radiation

• Evaporation
