Homework Statement
My lecture notes says that Work is the transfer of energy by means of a force acting on an object/body. What about heat energy? Does work also need to be done to transfer heat energy from hot object to cold object? Say if i drop a hot metal into room temp water. The metal gets colder and heat energy is transferred from metal to water which gets warmer. Does the metal do work on the water to transfer the heat energy?
