What else can I help you with?
Two equal masses of two different kinds of matter with two different specific heats is what?
sometimes have the same thermal energy
How does the temperatures increases of different materials depend on their specific heats?
The specific heat capacity of a material determines how much energy is needed to heat up a certain mass of the material by a certain amount. Materials with higher specific heats require more energy to raise their temperature compared to materials with lower specific heats. Therefore, materials with higher specific heats will have slower temperature increases when heated compared to materials with lower specific heats.
How did the scientists figure out what gasses are on the sun?
The gasses in the sun are very hot and therefore glow; the specific wavelengths of light that they emit are characteristic of specific elements.
What information can be found in the ratio of specific heats table?
The ratio of specific heats table provides information about the ratio of the specific heat capacities of different substances. This ratio is important in understanding how substances respond to changes in temperature and energy.
Why is air heated from below?
Because sunlight is absorbed mostly by solid objects (not the gasses of the atmosphere), so the ground heats up, and warms the air adjacent to it.
Does a substance that heats up have a high or a low specific heat capacity?
A substance that heats up quickly has a low specific heat capacity, while a substance that heats up slowly has a high specific heat capacity. This is because substances with high specific heat capacities require more energy to change temperature compared to substances with low specific heat capacities.
When burning petrol in motor vehicles two gasses from which contributes to acid rains What are the two gasses?
Carbon and Oxygen. The gas is carbon-monoxide.
What are two natural gasses?
Oygen and Hydrogen
What substance is used as the standard against which we meassure specific heats?
Water is used as the standard against which one measures specific heats. Water has a specific heat of 1 Btu/lb/deg F or 1 J/g/deg C.
Is it true that the earth composed of two gasses?
No. Earth is composed of slolid minerals. Earth's atmosphere is mostly made up of two gasses: nitrogen and oxygen.
What substance is used at the standard against which you measure specific heats?
water (H20)
Compared to water most metals have low specific heats.?
true
