Question

Louisa put a bowl of water and a bowl of sand in the sun. She put a thermometer in each bowl. Then she recorded the temperature at the start and after 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the sand had heated more than the water.
Louisa’s experiment proved that
Responses
A different materials absorb the same amount of heat
B sunlight heats liquids more than solids
C sunlight does pass through water
D different materials heat up at different rates

Answer 1

The experiment that was carried out by Louisa goes to show us that different materials heat up at different rates.

What is the specific heat capacity?

The term specific heat capacity just goes to show us the amount of heat that must be absorbed before the temperature of an object would rise by 1 K. In this case, we can see that we have been told that the after 30 minutes, the sand had heated more than the water. This simply implies that the energy that the sand and the water absorbed was able to increase the temperature of the sand mush more than it increased the temperature of the water.

Thus we can see that the heat capacity of the sand is much less than the heat capacity of the water since the sand could be able to be heated up much faster than the the water could be heated up.
