What is the study of snow called?

Cryology is a branch of Chemistry and Physics dealing with temperature, more specifically the absense of heat or refrigeration.


Explain the chemistry and physics of fire?

Yes. Fire has both chemical and physical components. The fire fighter knows this, and plans attacks accordingly. The fire itself represents chemical changes, but heat rising is a physical property of matter. It's physics. A lot of the behavior of fire is physics because of the heat and the movement of air and materials around the fire. Fire represents something with strong chemistry and strong physics in play.


What should you do for a science project but without a source of heat?

Depends- Biology, chemistry, or physics? Biology could be a study of plant growth influenced by different factors, physics could be a study of magnetic fields, chemistry can be a study of chemical reactions, generation of gasses, etc. Find an area you like, do some exploring- and remember that the research and write-up of your project is the important part.


How does chemistry contribute to physics?

The link might be Materials Science - the chemical and physical properties of materials such as metals, plastics etc. At a fundamental level chemistry is physics in action - the making and breaking of bonds between atoms and molecules, often with the absorption or emission of energy as heat and/or light.


Why does the definition of 'endothermic' seem to differ so greatly between the schools of Chemistry and Biology?

The word "endothermic" is made of the parts "endo-" - "within, inside"; "therm" - "heat"; and "-ic" - pertaining to. Therefore the basic meaning of the word describes having heat inside versus "ectothermic" - having heat outside. This word is adapted in biology and chemistry to describe different concepts with a similar base meaning: "endotherm" in biology means animals that generate "heat on the inside" while "endothermic" in chemistry describes a reaction that sucks "heat to the inside".


Does heat effect speed?

interesting question and a little hard to understand, but I'll give you some different views and , in chemistry heat will increase the speed of a reaction by making particle vibrate faster in physics heat can increase friction, which would indirectly affect speed, more clarification on the question would help but i hope this helps


Give the different subdivision of physics and describe each subdivision?

mechanics,heat and thermodynamics,wave motion,electricity and magnetism and nuclear physics


What is the application of chemistry in hospital?

Medical science, as in all the drugs, medicines and technology Also if you mean "science" there is energy used by the equipment (physics) and there is light and heat transfer (physics) and also chemistry with chemical reactions of the medicine, as well as the biology of the cells.


What is the definition of temperature in physics?

temperature is the quantity that tell us the thermal state of a body. it is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body. it defines the direction of flow of heat when two bodies at different temperatures are placed in contact. ruchi


Were can you find a table of volumetric heat capacitys of liquds?

If you are close to a university library you could consult the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, if it's still available in printed form.


How does chemistry relate to physics?

Physics studies energy and forces while chemistry studies matter. They are connected because matter and energy interact all the time in nature and in chemical reactions in all living things and in daily life.


Which activity performed by a medical professional is primarily based on an understanding of physics?

Activities performed by a chemist that are primarily based on an understanding of physics are any sort of analytical chemistry and instrumentation. In reality, all chemistry is based on an understanding of physics - but specifically physics as it applies to atoms and molecules, work and heat - and thermodynamics in general.
