Which of the following is not an example of convection? warm air rising from heated pavement the rolling motion of boiling water in a pot the handle of a frying pan on the stove becomes very hot relatively cold water at the ocean surface sinks to deeper depths.

The handle of a frying pan on the stove

Explanation: Convection is the heat transfer done by the movement of a fluid, or the molecules on it. This can happen by the change on density from fluids, when a fluid tempeture rise, it expands, rising his volumen and decreasing his density. When this happens the fluid becomes lighter, so it moves.

The handle of a frying pan gets hotter but no molecular movement is done. It is between the same material there is a energy transfer from the source to the rest of the pan. This is called Conduction.

another example of kinetic energy would be,

kinetic energy   >     moving energy

answer   >   letter choice (c),   a hammer falling off a table.

hope that !                                         : )

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.
