Investigating the Factors Affecting How Quickly Hot Water Cools
Aim: -to sees how quickly water-cools after boiling at different
volumes of water with lids on.
Background: - heat can be lost in many ways and also gain. In human we
gain heat by chemical reactions happening mostly in contracting cells
of active muscle and the cells of the liver. We also gain it from the
sun, which is absorbed through the skin and by eating hot food and
drinks.
Heat is lost to the air by exposed surfaces of the body by conduction
convection and radiation. Heat is also lost by evaporation. The cold
air we breathe in and cold food and drinks products absorb heat and
take heat away. We also lose or gain heat by moving into a colder or
warmer place or by taking off or putting on a piece of clothing and to
take exercise to keep warm.
WHAT HAPPENS TO MOLECULES WHEN THEY ARE HEATED?
When molecules are heated the molecules vibrate faster and faster and
kinetic energy of the particles increases. In the end they have so
much kinetic energy that the particles begin to separate and move more
freely.
HOW DO BIRDS CONSERVE THEIR BODY TEMPERATURE HIGHER THAN THEIR
SURROUNDINGS?
When the temperature is cold birds tend to ruffle their feather, if
you have seen a bird do this they look fatter than they actually are.
What they're doing is trapping air between their feathers and warming
the air. This acts as an insulator and therefore keeps their body
temperature higher than the surrounding.
Hypothesis: - the breaker with the least amount of water in it will
show that it will cool down faster over a period of time because there
are less molecules vibrating together and bumping into each other and
therefore will cool down quicker.

Water (independent variable)
The water is changing by the volume in the beaker.
The various modes of heat loss during this phase include radiation, convection, conduction and evaporation. Radiation contributes to maximum heat loss (approximately 40%) and is determined by the fourth power of difference between ambient and core temperature. Convection is the next most important mode of heat loss (upto 30%), and is due to loss of heat to air immediately surrounding the body. It is proportional to the square root of the velocity of the air currents. Evaporation contributes to less than 10% of heat loss and occurs from cleaning fluids as well as skin, respiratory, bowel and wound surfaces. Conduction accounts for least heat loss (upto 5%) and is due to cold surfaces in contact with the body such as operating room table. After 3-4 hours, a plateau phase is realized when core heat production equals heat loss to the periphery and core temperature reaches a

Hypothesis- Water will evaporate the quickest because there isn't heavy sugars in the drinks slowingdown the evaporation process.
An Investigation Into How the Thickness of Insulation Affects the Time a Drink Takes to Cool Down
The body has specific ways of controlling the internal temperature: if the body is too cold then involuntary shivering occurs this causes the skeletal muscles to contract therefore producing heat. When conscious movement occurs the muscles again contract and relax which generate heat to warm the body up. Another way the body increases the temperature unconsciously the hairs all over the body stand on end causing a layer of air to be trapped, which acts like an insulator. When the body is too warm sweat is produced from pores in the skin, as this liquid sits on the skin it slowly evaporates causing the body temperature to drop, however if ...

Our chicken sandwich has, by now, been broken down into digestible nutrients. The pancreatic juices have broken down the carbohydrates in the bread into monosaccharides (such as glucose and galactose) which leave the enterocyte by facilitated diffusion and enter the rich network of capillaries. They are transported in the blood stream and cross into the cytoplasm by Na+ cotransporters. Amino acids are moved to the circulation by facilitated diffusion. Lipids from the butter are broken down into fatty acids by lipases and are then absorbed across the cell membrane into the cytosol where they are reassembled into lipoprotein particles called chylomicrons. These are carried through lymphatic channels and into the circulation via the thoracic duct. The bloodstream carries simple sugars, glycerol, amino acids, and a number of salts and vitamins to the liver. The lymphatic system, a network of vessels that carry white blood cells and lymph fluid throughout the body, absorbs fatty acids and

In this lab, I determined the amount of heat exchanged in four different chemical reactions only using two different compounds and water. The two compounds used were Magnesium Hydroxide and Citric Acid. Both compounds were in there solid states in powder form. Magnesium Hydroxide was mixed with water and the change in heat was measured using a thermometer. The next reaction combined citric acid and magnesium hydroxide in water. The change in heat was measured as well. For the third reaction citric acid was placed in water to measure the change in heat. In the last reaction, citric acid was combined with water. The heat exchanged was again measured. It is obvious we were studying the calorimetry of each reaction. We used a calorimeter
Conduction is the process by which heat is transferred from on solid to another. When a solid is heated the molecules inside, which are normally almost static, start to vibrate. When another solid is brought into contact with the heated solid the energy from the vibrating molecules at the edge of the heated solid is transferred to the outer molecules of the other solid.
It is then secreted within the small intestine where it helps to break down ethanol, fats and other acidic wastes including ammonia, into harmless substances.
Heat energy is transferred through three ways- conduction, convection and radiation. All three are able to transfer heat from one place to another based off of different principles however, are all three are connected by the physics of heat. Let’s start with heat- what exactly is heat? We can understand heat by knowing that “heat is a thermal energy that flows from the warmer areas to the cooler areas, and the thermal energy is the total of all kinetic energies within a given system.” (Soffar, 2015) Now, we can explore the means to which heat is transferred and how each of them occurs. Heat is transferred through conduction at the molecular level and in simple terms, the transfers occurs through physical contact. In conduction, “the substance
