Does a high specific heat allow water to heat slowly cool slowly or to do both?

I think the answer is cool slowly because if you left something that was hot out, it would cool.

What is the specific gravity of platinum in pounds?
Specific Gravity is unitless. To determine the specific gravity of something you take the density of the substance divided by the density of water (assuming both densities are in the same units ie: g/cm^3, or lb/in^3So for platinum, whose density is 21.45grams/cm^3 you would take (21.45g/cm^3)/(1g/cm^3(this is the density of water)), so specific gravity=21.45This would be the same answer is you had your densities in terms of lbs.
What air and water resistance are both sometimes called?
drag AIR AND WATER ARE BOTH FLUIDS !
Will things that heat quickly have a low or high specific heat?
both
Which would require a greater amount of heat water or iron?
To raise the temperature of both an equal amount, water would require more energy. In terms of the energy required to raise the temperature: iron = 0.45 joules / gram . kelvin water = 4.2 joules / gram . kelvin This is known as the specific heat capacity of a material
Does water refract or reflect light?
Both
Does a high specific heat allow water to heat slowly cool slowly or both?
the right answer is heat slowely
Does the total amount of earths water change slowly or never?
both
Why iron rust slowly in moist air?
I don't know whether the main question is why iron rustsor why does it rust slowly but i will answer bothiron rusts in air because air contains oxygen and water.and for rusting to occur, you NEED both oxygen and water..why it rusts slowly because , although air has an abundance of oxygen (~30%) water does not (~1%) and that is why it rusts slowly. because there is lesser water in the air to react with the iron and oxygen.
Why does salt water lose heat faster then fresh water?
The specific heat of both are essentially the same. i.e. it doesn't.
What's the relationship between Specific retention and specific yield?
Both Specific retention and specific yield relate to the ratio of the volume of water (in a permeable unit of rock and/or sediment) to the total volume of the rock and/or sediment, as it relates to gravity. Specific retention is the ratio of the volume of water that is RETAINED against the pull of gravity, ...where-as specific yield is the ratio of the volume of water that is EXPELLED (yielded) against the pull of gravity. Again, ...both as a ratio to the total volume of the rock and/or sediment.
Does water change its temperature easily?
No it doesn't. Water has a very high heat capacity so it both gains and loses heat slowly compared to many other substances.
What are two reasons why bodies of water heat up more slowly than land masses when both surfaces receive an equal amount of sunlight?
The land mass is both dark and denser than water. It captures - and retains - heat more efficiently than water.
How is the solidification of magma similar to water freezing?
The solidifiction of magma is similar to the way water freezes because when the magma is cooled, it gets solid instead of liquid.
What is the relationship between condensation and hydrolysis?
both( condensation and hydrolysis) need enzymes to allow the reactions to run to completion. Both involve water usage Both deal with covalent bonds.
Is there any difference in water contamination and water pollution?
You can use both interchangeably but the effect of contamination by a specific chemical or biological matter is called pollution.
Why does salt dissolve more slowly in vinegar than sugar?
Sugar is polar, and vinegar is usually a solution of water and acetic acid... both of which are polar. Oil is non-polar.
What does a runescape mud staff do?
A mud staff is a hybrid of an earth and water staff. It will allow the players to cast spells without both water and earth runes in their inventory.
