Yes, denser materials generally heat up more slowly than less compact materials because they have a higher thermal mass and require more energy to raise their temperature. However, once heated, denser materials tend to retain heat longer due to their higher thermal conductivity.

Why does air lose heat faster than water and soil?

Air loses heat faster than water and soil because it has a lower heat capacity, meaning it requires less energy to change its temperature. In contrast, water and soil have higher heat capacities, which allow them to absorb and retain heat more effectively, slowing down the rate at which they lose heat. Additionally, water and soil are denser and more compact compared to air, which also affects their ability to retain heat.


Since salt water is denser than fresh water does swimming in fresh water sap body heat faster?

No.


If something is conductor of heat does it lose heat fast or slow?

If something is a good conductor of heat, it will lose heat faster than a poor conductor. This is because a good conductor allows heat to flow through it quickly, dispersing the heat energy more rapidly.


Is conduction faster in denser solids?

Yes, conduction is generally faster in denser solids because the particles are more closely packed together, allowing for more efficient transfer of heat energy through direct contact between particles.


Why is warm water warm and cold water cold?

Warm water is warm because the molcules heat up and make friction they move around much faster when an object is a liquid then a solid. Cold water is in the process of becoming a solid the molecules will slow down and compact to compact molecules need coldness and when something is warming up it is melting and needs heat to melt. duh.


What are the atoms doing when something is melting?

They are moving faster to create heat


What happens when you apply heat to a solid does it will cause the atoms to move more slowly and become more compact?

On the contrary: At heating all particles move faster and the material becomes less compact: expansion!


Why does ice surrounded by co2 melt fasteR?

because carbon dioxide doesn't absorb the energy from the sun, but it does absorb some of the heat energy released from the earth. When a molecule of carbon dioxide absorbs heat energy, it goes into an excited unstable state. It can become stable again by releasing the energy it absorbed. Some of the released energy will go back to the earth and some will go out into space.


How do you increase dissolving time?

To make something dissolve faster you heat or agitate it. To decrease it do the opposite.


Does a higher specific heat capacity mean that something will cool down faster?

sure :D


Why does lands heat faster than water?

Land has compact molecules so only conduction takes place and it is an insulator of heat so the heat remains on the surface whereas water has loosely packed molecule so heat is transferred by convection ths it takes a longer time to heat up.


Why do solids heat up faster than liquids?

Solids are more compact than liquids. The particles of a solid are closer together. Since heat is the kinetic force between particles, the closer those particles are the easier it is to excite them.
