Answer:

  • <u><em>It will be less than 26 °C as water has a relatively higher specific heat than sand.</em></u>

Explanation:

The <em>specific heat </em>of a substance is the amount of heat energy absorbed by one unit of mass of the substance when its temperature increases one unit.

From that, you can derive the equation for the specific heat of a substance:

  • specific heat = heat / (mass × ΔT)

Thus, assuming that all the heat provided by the lamp to both samples is the same and, as given, the amount (mass) of both samples is also the same, you have that the specific heat of the samples will be:

  • specific heat = constant / ΔT

So, specific heat and ΔT are inversely related.

It is known that water has a higher specific heat than sand (that is why the sand on the shore of a beach is, during the day, hotter than the water and your feet get burned when you walk on a sandy beach on a sunny day).

Then, since the specific heat of water is greater than the specific heat of sand, the increase of temperature of water will be lower and, consequently, water will reach a lower final temperature than sand, when equal amounts of water and sand are heated as described in the experiment. This is the second choice: the final temperature of water is less than 26°C as water has a relatively higher specific heat than water.

8. Bring the balloon in contact with the wall. What happens to the charges in the wall?
Ne4ueva [31]

When the charged balloon is brought near the wall, it repels some of the negatively charged electrons in that part of the wall. Therefore, that part of the wall is left repelled.

<u>Explanation</u>:  

  • Balloons don't stick to walls. However, if you rub the balloon on an appropriate piece of material such as clothing or a wall, electrons are pulled from the other material to the balloon.
  • The balloon now as more electrons than normal and therefore has an overall negative charge. Two balloons like this will repel each other.
  • The other material now has an overall positive charge. Because opposite charges attract, the balloon will now appear to stick to the other material. If you didn't rub the balloon first, it's charge would be neutral and it wouldn't stick to the wall.
