Vacum flask has inner layer of glass and outer body of plastic.the glass has a reflective metal layer..when a hot drink is poured into the flask it prevents conduction.tight lid stops the convection.when radiation tries to leave the hot drink the reflective layer of the glass reflects it back so no heat can escape.

Answer:
The specific heat capacity of the zinc metal measured in this experiment is 0.427 J/g.°C
Explanation:
From the experimental data, the water loses heat because its initial temperature is greater than the final temperature of the mixture. On the other hand, the zinc metal gains heat because its initial temperature is less than the final temperature of the mixture
Heat loss by water = Heat gain by zinc metal
m1C1(T1 - T3) = m2C2(T3 - T2)
m1 is mass of water = 55.4 g
C1 is specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g.°C
m2 is mass of zinc metal = 23.4 g
C2 is specific heat capacity of zinc metal
T1 is the initial temperature of water = 99.61 °C
T2 is the initial temperature of zinc metal = 21.6 °C
T3 is the final temperature of the mixture = 96.4 °C
55.4×4.2(99.61 - 96.4) = 23.4×C2(96.4 - 21.6)
746.9028 = 1750.32C2
C2 = 746.9028/1750.32 = 0.427 J/g.°C
Decreasing the trains velocity will DECREASE the kinetic energy
