Gravity as well as electrostatic and magnetic attraction and repulsion provide real life examples of forces being exerted by one object on another without them being in contact with each other. Many children are aware of magnetism and have played with fridge magnets. They may also have played with picking up small pieces of paper or other objects with a comb charged by rubbing against the sleeve of a jumper or by pulling through hair. They will also be aware that things fall towards the Earth. However, they are unlikely to think about these experiences as involving forces, i.e. pushes and pulls.

It is common for students to think that all metals are attracted by magnets, and that the size of magnets determines their strength.

What 3 things do you need to know about an object in order to calculate heat?

The specific heat capacity of the material the object is made of. The mass of the object. The temperature change experienced by the object.


How do you know how hot an object is?

Heat is a form of energy. The energy is tied to the molecules of the object. The faster the molecules in an object vibrate, the more heat energy it contains and therefore the more hotter it is. By measuring the amount of vibration in an objects molecules, you can calculate how hot it is.


What happens to heat that enters an object?

I'm not 100% sure about this though.heat is some kind of radiation right.. when heat radiation contact an object,the molecules on the surface of the object start vibrating in a specific way.so when those molecules start to collide on each other,a chain reaction occur as long as the source remains or found a new one. let me know if this isn't right.. :)


How do I know that the transfer of the heat occurred between two objects?

You can typically tell if heat transfer has occurred between two objects by monitoring changes such as temperature increase or decrease, physical changes like melting or freezing, or the flow of energy from a higher temperature object to a lower temperature object.


What are 3 examples conduction?

Well, not only three that i know... Keeping a spoon in a boiling pot of water and waiting 5 minuites and touching it again can burn your hand. the heat transfered from the water to the spoon and now the spoon in hot.

Put you hand on the rail and if you feel heat, then it coming.

Do you know why there is no heat coming from the heater on a 1998 buick lesabre?

no

Yes


What does the brain do for your body?

The brain is the center of nerves. It sends shocks to your body letting you know that you are either in danger or something as simple as touching another object.


Why is your heat coming just out of your defroster?

How do we know that the transfer of heat occurred between two object?

The one that is cooler will become warmer.


How is thermal energy transfered when particles are touching?

I think they create friction and that creates heat. I don't really know though, that was just a guess.

How do I know if my vent dryer is clogged?

If your vent dryer is clogged there will be no heat coming out. It will also take longer for things to dry.


Let's say there are two objects Object 1 has a high specific heat and Object 2 has a low specific heat Which object would heat more I'll give trust point and recommend contributor?

Heat energy (gained/lost)= mass x specific heat capacity x temperature(rise/fall) Now with this expression we come to know that for a given mass and with a given amount of heat energy in joule, as sp. heat cap is more then rise / fall in temperature will be less and vice versa.


How can the specific heat of water be used to determine the specific heat of an object?

By immersing the object in water and measuring the initial and final temperatures of the water, along with the mass of the water and the object, you can calculate the amount of heat transferred. Using the equation Q = mcΔT (where Q is heat, m is mass, c is specific heat, and ΔT is change in temperature), you can then rearrange the equation to solve for the specific heat of the object.
