To raise the temperature of both an equal amount, water would require more energy.

In terms of the energy required to raise the temperature:

iron = 0.45 joules / gram . kelvin

water = 4.2 joules / gram . kelvin

This is known as the specific heat capacity of a material

Would you expect the the pressure exerted by water to be greater or less than the pressure exerted by the same amount of air?

The pressure exerted by water would be greater than the pressure exerted by the same amount of air due to water's higher density. Water molecules are packed closely together, leading to more collisions with the walls of the container and thus a higher pressure compared to air molecules.


In which position would an object have the GREATER amount of potential energy?

An object would have greater potential energy when positioned higher above the ground due to its increased gravitational potential energy.


Which fluid would have the greater viscosity?

Honey would have greater viscosity compared to water. Viscosity refers to a fluid's resistance to flow, and honey is thicker and more resistant to flow than water.


What would a products specific gravity be for it to sink in water?

A product with a specific gravity greater than 1 will sink in water. This means the product is denser than water.


Predict whether a greater amount of energy will be trans ferred as heat between 1 kg of water at 10C and a freezer at -15C or between 1kg of water at 60C and an oven at 65C?

The formula for determining the amount of heat energy is q = m x C x ΔT, where q = amount of heat energy gained or lost by a substance, m = mass of substance in grams, C = heat capacity (J/g •oC), and ΔT is the change in temperature. If all other variables are the same, then the greatest change in temperature will cause the greatest amount of energy gained or lost. The water that went from 10oC to -15oC had the greatest change in temperature and the greatest change in energy.

1 kilogram of water is heated together with 1 kilogram of iron.Which would require greater amount of heat and why?

Iron would require a higher amount of heat due to the fact that it is a metal and has stronger bonds than water does. Water is made up of hydrogen bonds which allow it to heat up quickly.


What would expect to happen to a sidewalk over the course of years when rainwater continues to soak in to concrete and freeze?

If water is allowed to get into a concrete sidewalk and not allowed to drain and it freezes, the expansion of the water/ice as it crystallizes causes the concrete to crack. If more water settles in the crack and freezes, the crack gets bigger. Each year the increase in the size of the crack is greater because a greater amount of water can fit in the crack, and a greater amount of water has a greater amount of expansion when it freezes.


Would expect pressure exerted by water to be greater or less than the pressure exerted by the same amount of mercury?

if you were to immerse yourself under a meter of mercury the pressure experienced would be greater than if you were to immerse yourself under a meter of water.


Can plywood float?

It depends on theplywood density if it is denser then water then you would have to make a shape causing it to displace an equal or greater amount of water in weight for it to float.


Which material would require the least amount of energy to change 1kg from a solid to a liquid ethanol aluminum propane or water?

Water would require the least amount of energy to change 1kg from a solid to a liquid because it has a lower melting point compared to the other materials listed (ethanol, aluminum, propane).


Remove water from gas tank?

A small amount of water such as a couple ounces could be treated with a dose of dry gas with each next few fill ups. A larger amount of water would require removal of the fuel tank to get it all out.


When will a ball filling with water sink?

The ball will sink when the weight of the water inside the ball plus the weight of the ball is greater than the weight of the amount of water that would fit inside the ball.

Which component (the aluminum or water experienced a greater change in temperature?

To determine which component experienced a greater change in temperature, you would need to compare the initial and final temperatures of both the aluminum and the water. Generally, aluminum has a lower specific heat capacity than water, meaning it can experience a greater temperature change with the same amount of heat transfer. Therefore, if both components were subjected to the same heat transfer, the aluminum would typically exhibit a greater change in temperature than the water.


Which type of soil would allow rainwater to reach the well faster and in greater amount?

Sandy soil would allow rainwater to reach the well faster and in greater amount compared to clay soil. Sandy soil has larger particles and better drainage, allowing water to infiltrate more quickly to reach the well. Clay soil has smaller particles and poor drainage, which slows down the movement of water towards the well.


Which is present in sea water in greater amount between sodium chloride and calsium?

I would say sodium chloride as it is also known as salt-water, calcium is found in chalky cliffs "white cliffs of dover", so near there may be a high amount but sodium chloride would be in greater amounts in the majority of sea water
