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.
What is the benefit of specific heat?
One of the major benefits of specific heat is that it allows plants and animals not to freeze immediately since water takes a long time to freeze or boil.
What does latent heat causes?
Latent heat has the ability to do something in a given time period. Take a water heated radiator, latent heat has the ability to make the radiator warm or hot according to the temprature of the water. It will continue to do this until the water stops flowing through the radiator and the radiator begins to cool.
Why does it take a long time to heat a room with high ceiling?
Because in convection, warm air rises up to the roof and cold air sinks down so the area where people is, is always colder than the area near the roof where nobody is.
How fast or slow does water absorb and release heat?
there is no specific set time; it depends on how direct the heat source is and how much heat or light there is

How do people in the arctic bath?
In the Arctic, People take water the have ordered and they have to heat the water up for a very long time. or they just jump into the Arctic water :)
How long does it take for water to boil at Fahrenheit?
The time required to get water to boil depends upon the water initial temperature, the water mass, the nature of the heat source, the net heat transfer rate to the water, and the local barometric pressure.
Does the amount of water affect when the water boils?
yes. the more water the longer it would take for the heating element to heat the water. the less water, the less time it would take to heat.
Do compounds take a long time to heat up?
some compounds can take along time to heat but the easiest is alumanuim copper steel tin
If the freezing point of water is 0 c what is the melting point of ice?
Also 0 degrees. The trick is that when water freezes at 0 degrees, a very large amount of heat must be lost, so freezing can take a long time, depending on the depth of the water. Conversely, when ice thaws, a very large amount of heat must be absorbed, so melting can take a long time, depending.
How long does it take a penny to rust in water?
a long time
How can a peanut heat water?
If you burn a peanut it will keep aflame for a long time underwater, and boil the water
Does benzoic acid dissolve in ligroin?
yes it does with heat, although it might take a super long time when heat up.
What role does specific heat play in keeping a watermelon cooll for a long time after removing it from a fridge on a hot day?
The watermelon is larger and it will take more time for it to warm to the temperature around it.
How long did the titanic take before it started to take on water?
alot of time but about alot
Why does an electric water heater take more time to heat water in winters?
because the power lines are more frozen in winter
