Check Your Understanding: Heat Transfer

Festival context —Post-performance cool-down — performers sweating, resting on the gym floor, and recovering body temperature after the intense Cry of Jelicuon reenactment

S7FE-IVb-5Grade 7 · Quarter 4Conduction, Convection, Radiation & Thermal Equilibrium
1
Conceptual

After the reenactment, a sweating performer (a) presses a cold metal railing, (b) feels a breeze from an electric fan, and (c) stands in the afternoon sun. Match each to conduction, convection, or radiation.

2
Conceptual

A hot performer sits on the cool gym floor. Which way does heat flow, and when does it stop?

3
Conceptual

Why does a metal prop sword feel colder to the touch than a wooden one, even though both sat in the same room?

4
Conceptual

Why does a performer cool down faster standing in front of a fan than in still air, even when the air temperature is the same?

5
Problem Solving

A performer's skin is at 37 °C; the large gym floor is at 25 °C. After they rest against it for a long time, estimate the temperature of the small contact patch. (Assume the huge floor barely changes.)

skin = 37 °C, floor = 25 °C
