Question

You are on your way to physics lab and you stop at Cup of Joe for a mocha latte so that you will be ready to actively engage in class. You keep the lid on your latte because it is a rather cold January day. A. In a few sentences, describe how the process of conduction acts to cool the latte. Where in the cup does the heat transfer by conduction take place for the cup of latte? B. In a few sentences, describe how the process of convection acts to cool the lane. Where in the cup does the heat transfer by convection take place for the cup of latte?

Answer 1
