Accepted Answer

Thermal expansion

Question 3

Which equation correctly relates the heat $$Q$$ absorbed by a substance to its mass $$m$$, specific heat capacity $$c$$, and temperature change $$\Delta T$$?

Accepted Answer

$$Q = mc\Delta T$$

Question 4

Why does the ocean maintain a relatively steady temperature throughout the year?

Accepted Answer

Because water has a high specific heat capacity.

Question 5

According to Newton’s Law of Cooling, the rate of cooling of an object is proportional to:

Accepted Answer

The difference in temperature between the object and its surroundings.

Question 7

Which device can inhibit conduction, convection, and radiation simultaneously?

Accepted Answer

A vacuum flask (thermos)

Question 8

Which formula represents Coulomb’s Law for the force $$F$$ between two point charges $$q_1$$ and $$q_2$$ separated by distance $$r$$?

Accepted Answer

$$F = k\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2$}$$

Question 9

A negatively charged rod is brought near a neutral metal sphere without touching it. What happens to the charges in the sphere?

Accepted Answer

Positive charges move toward the rod, negative charges move away.
