Physx paper 6.
« on: November 04, 2009, 05:39:23 am »
does anyone know latent heat fusion formula's and specific latent heat etc. and also what are all the ways of improving experiments.

Thanks :D

specific heat capacity = \frac{energy absorbed}{mass * temp. change}

specifc latent heat = \frac{energy absorbed}{mass}

the expirmental changes can be

-repeat for average and accuracy
-insulate
-switch of power source when recording readings to prevent heating of the wire and change in resistance
-use data logging for accurate time intervals
-transfer hot objects into beakers of water more quickly to prevent heat loss
-check for zero error- (vernier calliper & screq gauge)
-read measurements perpendicularly to scale-avoid parallax
-use a lid (to avoid heat loss)




if i get more i'll add them here

yea the formulas right
and the accuracy problems differ with each question
it depends wot topic the questions on

transfer hot objects in to beakers of water more quickly to prevent heat loss
check for zero error- measurements start at zero
read measurements perpendicularly to scale-avoid parallax
use a lid - seperate mark from insulate

nd looking 4 more  :D :D
