2) What does the specific heat capacity of a material tell you about how easy it is to heat up

Physics
1 answer:
Fed [463]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

High specific heat -> takes more energy to raise/lower object's temperature

Low specific heat -> takes less energy to raise/lower object's temperature

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of something per unit of mass.

A high specific heat value for an object means it takes more energy to raise or lower that object's temperature. A low specific heat value for an object means it does not take very much energy to heat or cool that object.

The spreading of waves behind an aperture is more for long wavelengths and less for short wavelengths.Less for long wavelengths
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Increase in wavelength of incident wave also increases the spread angle or spread of the interference pattern.

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The diffraction occurs when light bends in the same medium. The bending is the result of light waves "squeezing" through small openings or "curving" around sharp edges.

- Moreover, waves diffract best when the size of the diffraction opening (or grting or groove) corresponds to the size of the wavelength. Hence, light diffracts more through small openings than through larger openings.

- The formula for diffraction shows a direct relationship between the angle of diffraction (theta) and wavelength:

                                         d sin (θ) = m λ

Where,

     λ : Wavelength , θ : The spread angle , d : Slit opening or grating

- We can see that the wavelength λ and spread angle θ are related proportionally. So if we increase the wavelength of incident wave we also increase the spread angle or spread of the interference pattern.

Intro to Springs and Hooke’s law
wel
A spring is an object that can be deformed by a force and then return to its original shape after the force is removed.
Springs come in a huge variety of different forms, but the simple metal coil spring is probably the most familiar. Springs are an essential part of almost all moderately complex mechanical devices; from ball-point pens to racing car engines.
There is nothing particularly magical about the shape of a coil spring that makes it behave like a spring. The 'springiness', or more correctly, the elasticity is a fundamental property of the wire that the spring is made from. A long straight metal wire also has the ability to ‘spring back’ following a stretching or twisting action. Winding the wire into a spring just allows us to exploit the properties of a long piece of wire in a small space. This is much more convenient for building mechanical devices.

Why does it take the water in a swimming pool some time to heat up during a hot day?
BartSMP [9]
Because the top layer of a pool will be warmer than the bottom layer, that why filtration is important to cycle the water evenly.

If the speedometer of your car reads a constant speedometer of your car reads a constant speed of 40km/hr , can you say the car
Harrizon [31]
I think u can say thats a constant velocity, but remember if ur turning, or going around a curve, that is also changing velocity. Hope this helps have a great day!
