When matter loses heat what does the temperature do?

When matter loses heat, its temperature decreases because heat is a form of energy that causes particles to move faster. As the particles slow down due to heat loss, the temperature of the matter drops.


What is an example of a boundary condition in a mathematical model?

An example of a boundary condition in a mathematical model is specifying the temperature at the edges of a heat-conducting material in a heat transfer simulation.


What is laten heat?

"Latent heat" refers to the heat energy absorbed or released during a change of state without a change in temperature. For example, when ice melts into water, heat is absorbed from the surroundings without a rise in temperature, which is the latent heat of fusion. Similarly, when water vapor condenses into liquid water, heat is released without a decrease in temperature, known as the latent heat of condensation.


How is a refrigerator an example of a heat mover?

Normally, heat moves from a higher temperature to a lower temperature. Devices that use work to move heat are called heat movers. A refrigerator is an example of a heat mover because it takes the heat from inside of the refrigerator and moves it to the outside. The 2nd law of thermodynamics allows this to occur if work is done in the process. A refrigerator does work as it moves the heat from inside the refrigerator to the warmer room.


What is the difference between heat and temperture?

Heat is the AMOUNT of energy, Temperature is the CONCENTRATION of heat energy. For example; An iceberg (a big one) will have more heat energy than a cup of coffee (fresh and hot).

What is the relationship between specific heat and rate of heating?

change in temperature does not effect specific heat. for example,specific heat of water is 4.14 j/g.k at any temperature


Is your body heat an example of exothermic?

Yes, body heat is an example of an exothermic process. When your body metabolizes food to produce energy, heat is released as a byproduct, which helps to maintain your body temperature.

What are the examples of heat and temperature?

Example of Heat: Comparing two cups of tea at the same temperature. The one with the greater volume will have more heat. Example of Temperature: Measuring the temperature of a bathtub with a thermometer. Also anyone who has google searched to find this answer should really read more of their chemistry textbook because its quite simple really.


Give an example where one substance has a lower specific heat therefore requires less energy to increase in temperature?

An example of one substance has a lower specific heat and requires less energy to increase in temperature is tomato sauce.
