Question

If you hold your hand over a pot of boiling water, it feels hot. Explain how the boiling water is transferring heat to your hand.

Group of answer choices

Radiation, because heat from the sun warms the top of your hand and that transfers to the water

Convection, because boiling water has enough energy to turn into water vapor, which rises through the air and transfers heat to your hand

Conduction, because as the water boils, liquid water droplets splash out of the pot and hit your hand, transferring heat

Radiation, because the heat energy moves from the pot to the air and from the air to your hand

Conduction, because the molecules at the bottom of the pot receive heat from the stove and begin to move faster, colliding with neighboring molecules and transferring heat energy to them, eventually reaching the surface of the water where the heat is transferred to your hand.
