<span>How does specific heat affect the rate at which an object changes temperature </span>All else being equal,* rate of heat transfer is proportional to the square of the temp difference between source and sink. Given a step change in input, heat transfer will change abruptly; then the rate of transfer will gradually decrease as source and sink temperatures approach each other. Ideally the rate of transfer will go asymptotically to zero as the source and sink attain equal temperatures. In a real system it will go to some stable minimum as heat leaks in/out in various directions. 

<span>Since a sink with lower thermal capacity (specific heat x mass) will require less heat input for a given temperature change, heat transfer in such a system will drop off more quickly than it would in one with higher thermal capacity -- the reverse of what you're proposing. At the same time, the system will reach steady-state faster because there's less total heat in the system. </span>

Once a system has stabilized in steady-state, thermal capacity is no longer an issue.

If it is lower, it heats faster, if it's higher, it takes longer to heat.

Two 10-cm-diameter charged rings face each other, 21.0 cm apart. Both rings are charged to +40.0 nC. What is the electric field
Katyanochek1 [597]

Complete question:

Two 10-cm-diameter charged rings face each other, 21.0 cm apart. Both rings are charged to +40.0 nC. What is the electric field strength  at the midpoint between the two rings ?

Answer:

The electric field strength at the mid-point between the two rings is zero.

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of each ring, d = 10 cm = 0.1 m

distance between the rings, r = 21.0 cm = 0.21 m

charge of each ring, q = 40 nC = 40 x 10⁻⁹ C

let the midpoint between the two rings = x

The electric field strength  at the midpoint between the two rings is given as;

E_{mid} = E_{right} +E_{left}\\\\E_{right}  = \frac{KQ}{(x^2 + r^2)^\frac{2}{3} } \\\\E_{leftt}  = -\ \frac{KQ}{(x^2 + r^2)^\frac{2}{3} }\\\\E_{mid} = \frac{KQ}{(x^2 + r^2)^\frac{2}{3} }  - \frac{KQ}{(x^2 + r^2)^\frac{2}{3} } = 0

Therefore, the electric field strength at the mid-point between the two rings is zero.

Which are characteristics of mammals? Check all that apply.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

one of the characteristics of a mammal is their several hollow bones another is their three chambered heart and the last is highly developed nervous system

Explanation:

the reason i picked those three is because not all mammals live their life on land and also mammals font have internal fertillization when they are done they take care of their babies and when they grow up they live their own life
