Lena is investigating heat transfer using a Middle nail in foam cup filled with hot water. First, she records the temperature of the water now and next she places the nail in hot water for 10 minutes. Finally she removes the nail from the water records the temperature of the water now the table shows her data. How does the motion of molecules in the nail change out to the nail is placed in hot water a energy was transferred from the hot water to the nail through convection, causing the molecules in the nail to move faster, be energy was transferred between the hot water in the nail through conduction cause of the molecules in the mail to move slower see energy was transferred from the hot water to the nail through conduction, causing the molecules in the mail to move faster the energy was transferred between the hot water and the nail through convection, causing the molecules in the nail to move slower.
