What else can I help you with?
What is a better absorber and radiator of heat energy soil or water?
Water absorbs and radiates heat better than soil does.
Is glass a better conductor of heat than water?
No, water is a better conductor of heat than glass. Water has a higher thermal conductivity, allowing it to transfer heat more efficiently than glass. Glass is a relatively poor conductor of heat compared to water.
Does sylicon conduct heat?
Yes. Iron has better conductivity of heat and electricity than water and will heat up very fast. The same goes with carbon and silicon. If u get a chance to test them then u will know which is better conductor ( silicon should be better conductor since it is a metalloid)
Should I boil water with the lid on for better efficiency and faster boiling time?
Yes, boiling water with the lid on can increase efficiency and speed up the boiling process by trapping heat and preventing heat loss.
What heats faster water or gold?
gold because it is a better conductor of heat
Does dirt or mud conduct heat better?
Dirt conducts heat better than mud. Mud contains water, which has a lower thermal conductivity than soil particles. The water in mud can act as an insulator, reducing its ability to efficiently conduct heat.
What procces allows the water to enter the atmosphere?
The process that allows water to enter the atmosphere is called evaporation. Evaporation occurs when the heat from the Sun causes liquid water to turn into water vapor and rise into the atmosphere.
What cup will freeze water faster glass or a foam?
Water will freeze faster in a glass cup compared to a foam cup because glass is a better conductor of heat than foam. This means that the glass cup will transfer heat away from the water more quickly, leading to faster freezing. Foam cups insulate better and will retain heat, making the freezing process slower.
Is water or polystyrene a better insulator?
Polystyrene is a better insulator than water because it traps air molecules within its structure, creating a barrier to prevent heat transfer. Water, on the other hand, is a good conductor of heat and can easily transfer heat energy.
Why is a blanket a better conductor of heat when it's wet rather than it being dry?
Water conducts heat better than air, so when a blanket is wet, the water content aids in transferring heat more efficiently. This is because water molecules are closer together, allowing for better heat conduction compared to air-filled dry blankets.
Is water a better conductor of heat than water?
I assume you meant to compare water to metal. No, water is not a better conductor of heat than metal. Metals are known for their high thermal conductivity due to the movement of free electrons, allowing them to transfer heat much more efficiently than water. Water has a lower thermal conductivity compared to metals.
Can wool absorb water?
Yes, not easily because of its lanolin content, but yes, wool absorbs water.
