Beaker A: Initial temperature is 100 degrees C
Beaker B: Initial temperature is 0 degrees C
Heat, also called thermal energy, can be transmitted through space (radiation), by moving fluids (convection), or through direct contact. This final method, called conduction, is explored in the Heat Transfer by Conduction Gizmo. To begin, check that Aluminum is selected. Select the BAR CHART tab and turn on Show numerical values. What is the initial temperature of each beaker? Beaker A * 0 degrees C 5 degrees C 25 degrees C 50 degrees C 75 degrees C 95 degrees C 100 degrees C Beaker B * 0 degrees C 5 degrees C 25 degrees C 50 degrees C 75 degrees C 95 degrees C 100 degrees C (pick one answer for each beaker)
