Energy Transfer- Energy is moved from one object to another. The form of energy is NOT changed.
Ex. When a bat hits a ball, the mechanical energy (motion) is transferred to the ball.
2
Heat can be transferred in three ways; conduction (touching), convection (heat moves through a gas or liquid, and radiation (travels out in waves from the source.
Some text here about the topic of discussion.
