Question 13 of 251083%True or false? When two objects are touching, the material the surface is made from does not effect the rate at which the object transfers energy by heating.
Solution
False. The material of the surface does affect the rate at which an object transfers energy by heating. Different materials have different thermal conductivities, which is a measure of how quickly they can transfer heat. For example, metals generally have high thermal conductivities and can transfer heat quickly, while materials like wood or plastic have lower thermal conductivities and transfer heat more slowly.
