When 10 grams of hot water cool by 1 C, the amount of heat given off is
41.9 joules
Which ot the following normally warms up fastest when heat is applied?
Iron
The temperature at the bottom of Lake Tahoe, high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, at this moment is
e 4°C
Internal energy is greater
fire-engine pail of boiling-hot tea.
When we enlarge a photograph of an iron ring, the image of the hole becomes
larger
If the specific heat of water were lower than it is, ponds in the cold of winter would be
more likely to freeze.
Pour two liters of water at 40°C into one liter of water at 20°C and the final temperature of the two becomes
more than 30°C.
Ice crystals in nearly frozen liquid water make up
both of these
copper. Place equal masses of aluminum and copper wire in a flame and the Aluminum has a specific heat capacity more than twice that of one to undergo the fastest increase in temperature will be
copper
When a bimetallic bar made of copper and iron strips is heated, the bar bends toward the iron strip. The reason for this is
copper expands more than iron.
