What does mucho mucho calor mean?
very very hot
How will the final velocity be greater then the initial velocity?
It doesn't necessarily mean that the final velocity is always greater than the initial, if the initial velocity was at rest or 0 m/s then any form of movement would be greater. In cases where the final is smaller is like running into a wall or a decrease in acceleration.
What does the word defy actually mean?
'To defy' could mean all sorts of things depending on a specific context. It could mean 'to provoke', 'to diss', 'to challenge', 'to incite', and 'to aggravate'.
What does the word throughflow mean?
throughflow means that water flows
What does tener calor mean in English?
To have heat, To be hot, etc. For example: "Yo voy a tener calor cuando hago ejercicio hoy." "I am going to be hot when I exercise today."
Does a high or low specific heat mean the substance heats up so fast?
low specific heat is like sand and high specific heat is like water at the beach it may be hot outside the water is still cold but the sand is hot as ever.
Why does water have a high specific heat capacity?
Water has a high specific heat because of the hydrogen bonds acting on the molecules. These hygrogen bonds can "store" thermal energy, and this allows water to absorb or release a lot of heat without a large change in temperature.
What does a specific gravity of 1.030 mean?
It's a density measurement relative to (standard) water. Water is given a 1.00. Things that would sink have greater than 1.00 specific gravity (not accouting for shape).
It influences the amount of heat needed for matter to reach a certain temperature when a substance expands or contracts however it does not change what is it?
I guess you mean the specific heat capacity of a substance. Water is 1 calorie per gram, for other substances the quoted figure is often called the 'specific heat' which just means the ratio of its own heat capacity to that of water.
Water has a temp of 4.184 and copper has a temp of 0.387. Does it takes more heat to raise the temp of the copper molecule?
These are not temperature numbers but specific heat numbers. They mean that it takes 4.184 Joules and 0.387 Joules respectively to raise water and copper of one gram by one degree celsius. So, as you can see, it takes a lot more heat to raise the temperature of water than it does of copper. Water has a very high specific heat.
Explain how the specific heat of a substance is determined?
specific heat is the amount of heat to be absorbed required to raise a substance 1 degree celsius. And by heat being absorbed, i mean energy, because specific heat is measured in joules
Which liquid has a specific gravity greater than 3.52?
Specific gravity relative to what? I assume you mean water. Bromine has a density of 3.11 gm/c^3, which is 3.11 times that of water. That could work for whatever you are doing.
What does it mean to have a higher specific heat?
That a given volume of water will store a larger amount of heat energy (per degree temperature rise) than will most other substances.
What does it mean to say that a material has a high or low specific heat capacity?
The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of a said substance 1o K. The capacity is measured in kilojoules divided by kilogram time degrees Kelvin (kJ/Kg k). So, if the specific heat capacity of a substance is high, it requires a very large amount of energy to increase the temperature, and if it has a low specific heat capacity, the required energy will be lower.
What is the best conductor of heat between air water wood and glass?
Air at sea level has a specific heat of 1.0035 kJ/(kg*K). Air at room temperature has a specific heat of 1.012 kJ/(kg*K) Water at room temperature has a specific heat of 4.184 kJ/(kg*K) Therefore, since it takes more energy to increase the temperature of one kilogram of water (because it has a higher specific heat), water is a better insulator. This explains (roughly, though it is much more complex when taking in actual mass, size, and radiation) why on a hot day the air temperature will change much more than the temperature of a pool of water.
Why does water stay cooler than land?
The thermal capacity is higher for water than land, therefore the land is able to cool faster than the water. The water takes a longer time to heat up and cool off than the land.
Water has high heat capacity. what does that mean?
Put simply, it means that it takes a greater amount of energy to raise the volume of a substance (e.g. 1cc water) than is does a comparable substance. Water, life giving substance that it is, it beautifully constructed for this purpose.
