Does a larger roof have greater heat loss than a smaller roof?

If a large roof is twice the area of a small roof and they are otherwise the same, the heat loss will be approximately double. If the large roof is twice as insulated as the small roof the heat loss will be similar.


Why is thermoregulation more effectively achieved in larger animals than in smaller ones?

Thremoregulation is easily achieved in large animal as they are able to retain the heat gained. In small animal the surface area is large as compares to their volume and hence gain or loose heat faster. large animal having smaller surface area as compared to their volume gain heat slower.


The effects of body size on heat loss?

A bigger animal has a small surface area in relation to their large volume. Smaller animals have a bis surface area to volume ratio which mean heat is easier to be lost.


Which electric heater will yield the greater heat output a large resistance in the coil or a small resistance in the coil?

A small resistance in the coil will yield greater heat output in an electric heater. This is because a small resistance allows for a larger current to flow through the coil, which in turn generates more heat due to the increased power dissipation (P = I^2 * R).


Why do larger animals keep their body heat better than smaller animals?

This is because of the surface to volume ratio. A small mammal has a larger surface area, as compared to its volume, than a large mammal does, so a small mammal's surface area to volume ratio is bigger. A large surface to volume ratio causes things to pass into the organism and out of the organism more easily, so a mammal with a large surface to volume ratio (a small mammal) will lose heat more easily in a cold environment than a mammal with a small surface to volume ratio (a large mammal).


How large of a room will The Dayton G73 Heater heat?

It will heat a average size bedroom, or small living room.


If a large at 30 degrees and a small bowl at 30 degrees which has the most heat energy in it?

Both the large and small bowl will have the same amount of heat energy if they are at the same temperature (30 degrees). The heat energy in an object depends on its mass, temperature, and specific heat capacity, but in this case, since both bowls are at the same temperature, they would have the same amount of heat energy.


Does a thermometer bulb have large heat capacity or small heat capacity?

A thermometer bulb should have.small heat capacity. In case if it has large capacity, the temperature of the substance will get lowered due to the large amount of heat absorbed by the thermometer bulb


Which will warm up quickest a large black ball or a small black ball AND Which one will heat up quicker a small white ball or a large white ball?

lol this is my homework too.... A small black ball would warm up the quickest and the small white ball would heat up quicker.


Does water boil faster in a big or small pot?

The answer depends on the heat source. If none of the heat is wasted then it takes exactly the same length of time. For the pot to be larger one would assume that the base takes up a greater area than a small pot. The small pot on a large gas burner would waste energy because heat would rise up the sides of the pot and be wasted whereas the larger pot would absorb more of the heat. Using an inductive hob the time taken to heat up a given amount of water in small and large pots would be relatively equal.


Is using a small pot on a large burner inefficient?

Yes, using a small pot on a large burner is generally inefficient. The excess heat from the large burner can escape around the sides of the small pot, leading to wasted energy. Additionally, it may take longer for the contents of the pot to heat up evenly, as the heat distribution is not optimal. For better efficiency, it's advisable to match pot size with burner size.
