What type of material retains heat the best?
insulators although they take a long time to heat up, it takes a longer time to cool down. that's why if you heat water in a metallic container it takes more time for the water to cool down than the coontainer.
Can the the flame of closed air hole Bunsen burner can used for heating?
Yes,it can .But it might take longer time to heat
Why flannel keeps ice unmelted but people warm?
Flannel acts as an insulator, keeping things at the same temperature. It slows down heat transfer with the surroundings. If what you wrap it in is colder than the surroundings, then it will take longer to warm up. If what you wrap in it is warmer than the surroundings, it will take longer to cool down. Ice can stay cold and people can stay warm. The same concept is true for the common thermos bottle - you can keep hot chocolate hot in it or cold juice cold. Note that in the case of people, we are constantly producing body heat from our metabolism so all the flanel has to do in order to keep us warm is to slow the heat transfer to a rate that is less than or equal to the rate at which our bodies are producing heat.
How long does it take to cool down a house after turning on air conditioning?
The amount of time it takes to cool down a house after turning air conditioning on would be dependent upon a number of factors. Some of those factors include the size of the home, insulation and outdoor temperature.
Does the size of ice affect its melting time?
Because the larger the piece of ice is, the longer it will take for heat to melt it. I smaller piece of ice has fewer layers that heat needs to penetrate to melt it compare to a larger piece of ice.
Does it take longer for water to cool or heat up?
It takes longer to cool off, but mostly depending on the temperature.
What does water take longer o do than land?
Water takes longer to heat up and to cool down then it does for land.
Why does bread take longer to rise in a cool room then in a warm room?
because the yeast reacts to heat.
What should man do to keep warm in cold country?
one should paint his house a light colour. Most people would think that you would want to paint it a dark colour to get heat quicker, which is true, but if u painted it a dark colour it would lose its heat quick. If u painted a house a light colour it would take a while to heat up, but it would take longer to cool down

Why does it take water longer to cool down?
Because the specific heat of water is very high. In fact, water has about 1400 times more heat carrying capacity than air.
If Specific heat of water is greater than that of land This means?
Water heats and cools slower than land. It is because the specific heat is the amount of heat that it takes to be raised to a certain temperature. If the heat is higher it would take longer to heat and cool. That is my interpretation anyways.
We cool ourselves by sweating and allowing evaporation to take what from your bodies?
Heat
Why is it important to insulate buildings?
Buildings take energy to heat them and cool them. No insulation means the heat or cool escapes to the atmosphere and wastes/costs energy (and money).
Would a plastic cup keep the water hot longer than a metal cup?
A plastic cup holds more heat because plastic can't take out heat. Glass conducts heat away.
Why do you have to heat marble chips directly?
you don't you can heat them indirectly also, it will just take longer.
How long does it take to heat house using furnace?
Impossible to answer. You need to have a Hvac pro, furnace man, do a heat calculation of you home and see if the BTU rating of your house matches the furnace supplied in it. Now even with a computer generated heat calc, there are way to many things in the home to come up with a perfect answer. You should not turn up and down the thermostat in your home from day to night, the walls and furniture cool and then it takes longer to get them back to temp, its better to leave it on one temp.
