Compare how quickly the different materials are heated or cooled. Based on these results, what material do you think has the greatest specific heat? Why? Which has the smallest specific heat? Can you think of a real-world situation where you would want to use an object with large specific heat?

Water will take the longest, and iron will take the shortest time to heat, as well as to cool. Objects with greater specific heat would be desirable for insulation. For instance, woolen clothes with large specific heat would prevent heat loss from the body.

A hot piece of metal needs to be cooled. If you were to put the metal in ice or in cold water, such that the ice did not melt and the temperature of either changed by the same amount, which would reduce the metal's temperature more? Why?

Water would reduce the metal's temperature more, because water has a greater specific heat than ice.

When the surface is flat, you could say that one of the components of the gravitational force is zero; Which one? As the angle of the incline gets larger, what happens to the magnitudes of the perpendicular and parallel components of gravitational force?

When the angle is zero, the parallel component is zero and the perpendicular component is at a maximum. As the angle increases, the parallel component increases and the perpendicular component decreases. This is because the cosine of the angle shrinks while the sine of the angle increases.

A marble rolls up a slope, comes to a stop, and rolls back down. Assume the positive direction is up the slope. Which of the following is the best description of the marble's motion?

When the marble rolls down the slope, the marble is speeding up and the acceleration is in the negative direction.

A 5kg box is at rest on the floor. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the floor is 0.4. A horizontal force of 50N is applied to the box. Will it move?

Yes, because the applied force is more than the maximum limiting static friction.
