Specific Heat Capacity - Method of mixtures
- Why is water commonly used as coolant?
- Is heat gained always equal to heat lost?
- Why do we use calorimeter made of copper?
- Two bodies, made of different materials and having different specific heats but of equal mass
and identical
shapes
are heated up. They are then allowed to cool down. Assuming that the constant K is independent
of the material
the
bodies are made of, which body would you expect to cool down more quickly?
- Early in the morning when the sand in the beach is already hot, the water is still cold. But at
night, the sand
is
cold while the water is warm. Why?
