Graph of Results
Conclusion
What shape
is your graph? Does it show that hot water loses heat at the same
rate over 10 minutes or that the rate of heat loss changes with
time?
N.B. A straight line would indicate a constant rate of heat loss. A
curved line would indicate that the rate changes.
|
What happens
to the rate of heat loss as the water in the beaker cools down?
|
Do you think
there will come a time when the water in the beaker is no longer
losing heat? Explain your answer.
|
If the
water in the beaker stopped losing heat but you continued to take
its temperature for a few minutes, what do you think would happen to
the line of the graph?
