<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.

Applying the Law of Conservation of Energy. If a car was released down the track from a height what happens to the potential ene
erastova [34]

Answer:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed,  although it can be changed from one form to another.    KE + PE = constant. A simple example involves a stationary car at the top of a hill.  As the car coasts down the hill, it moves faster and so it’s kinetic energy increases and it’s potential energy decreases.  On the way back up the hill, the car converts kinetic energy to potential energy.  In the absence of friction, the car should end up at the same height as it started.

This law had to be combined with the law of conservation of mass when it was determined that mass can be inter-converted with energy.

One can also imagine the energy transformation in a pendulum.  When the ball is at the top of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is potential energy.   When the ball is at the bottom of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is kinetic energy.   The total energy of the ball stays the same but is continuously exchanged between kinetic and potential forms

Lincoln weighs 400 newtons. What’s his mass rounded to the nearest kilogram? Assume that acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 N/kg
Yanka [14]
Weight equals mass times gravitational acceleration=400N, so mass=400/9.8=41kg approx.
