It s not true. 2. It s always true. A watermelon stays cool for a longer time than sandwiches when both are removed from a cooler on a hot day. 3. It s true only if water is not mixed with other substances; for example, milk would have low specific heat. Twice as much of one is needed to make the same temperature change in both. Hmm Could the specific heats be the same? If not, which one is larger? About what is the question asking? Temperature? No. Temperature is average KE. Mass. NO. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter. Battery charge? NO. Remember: Internal energy includes all forms of energy that are inside something. It will involve the product of the total amount of something and an average measure of that thing. What do you know about water and specific heat? Is that relationship conditional? Does it change?
13 Iceland, so named to discourage conquest by expanding empires, is not at all ice-covered like Greenland and parts of Siberia, even though it is close to the Arctic Circle.

Hint: Break up the piece of metal into eight smaller square pieces of sheet metal, then raise the temperature, then put then back together. 1. The hole becomes bigger. 2. The hole becomes smaller. 3. The hole remains the same. 16 Suppose your gold wedding ring became stuck on your finger. Some home remedies suggest soaking your finger in ice water and then trying to remove the ring.

Does sand change temperature quickly? What does that say about the specific heat of sand? Use the hint that is given in the problem. Remember the goal is to get the ring off your finger. So, you want the ring to get larger relative to your finger.

Answer in units of cm What happens to the dimensions of a solid when its temperature increases? Decreases? Eliminate obviously wrong answer choices. What does expansion do to mass? To volume? How does this change affect density? What is the coldest temperature water can reach before it begins to expand? Remember: ΔL = L 0 X α X ΔT Where T is the temperature difference in Celsius(Kelvin). L and ΔL can be in any units but are the same unit (m & m, or inches & inches, etc.) And, α is the coefficient of expansion. 25 The coefficient of linear expansion for a silver strip is 1.9 10 5 / o C. What is its length on a hot day when the temperature is 31 o C if the strip is 1.9 m long when it is 12 o C? Answer in units of m So, the total length is L + ΔL. See the hint for #24.
