Hey guys, i really need help about thermal capacity of an object.
There is one question, June 2006 : P1 : Q16  , the answer is A but i think its B.
Can anyone explain it to me? I have to do the real IG exam tomorrow! (P1)
Thanksss

thermal capacity means that it takes a lot of energy to increase the temperature by 1 degrees, no matter what the size is. in Q16, all 4 blocks were given the SAME energy, but A increased LEAST, so A is the answer.

Can u explain..Wat the high/low thermal capactiy actually means..?
Thx

Water has a high thermal capcity. That means it takes A VERY LARGE AMOUNT of heat to raise its temp by 1 degree centigrade.


LOW thermal capacity means only a small amount of heat is needed to cause a LARGE temp rise.


Got it ? Ask again if you haven't.

Um, can anyone explain convection currents? I'm somewhat confused :S
Thankss :D

pS - Thanks to all who explained me thermal capacity. Really mean it. :)

The answer is A but Why...Arent the electrons in outer orbits?  ???
Thx

An unstable atomic nucleus with an excess of neutrons may undergo ?? decay, where a neutron is converted into a proton
and an electron  


So technically the neutron which is in the nucleus is the source of Beta Radiation ;)

Yeah got it...But one thing...The one with high themal capacity is also the one that cools down quickly right?
thx

Water has a HIGH thermal capacity.

 So it can absorb a LARGE amount of heat with only a SMALL temp rise.

 In adittion it only expands SLIGHTLY. So its a good coolant.

hot air rises and cold air falls. this is cuz when something is hot, it has more energy to move around hence it moves further apart and become less dense.. so it rises ... and cold air is closer together hence denser.. so it falls... :)

For # 30 take say 5 for each resistor and remember that in C it is connected in parallel and that u use the equation R=R1*r2 over(divided by)R1+R2
I will check the rest and come back to yew dear :)

Only a temperature INCREASE would give the molecules more KINETIC ENRGY and cause GREATER/HARDER  collisions.

BUT the question says the TEMPERATURE WAS CONSTANT.

But the VOLUME DECREASED. So there are more air molecules per unit area and hence more FREQUENT collisions with the walls of the pistons.

This causes a pressure INCREAsE.
