Question
3. Create a graph of your experimental data below. Dr. Al Bedo asks you the following questions as part of the weekly lab members' discussion group. 4. Compare the specific heat of the three substances. Water at the highest Specific heat at 4.183. White Sand had the secondest highest lower specific hear at 0.au . back down. Gol 5. Compare how the temperature of each substance goes up to how long it takes to go Black Sand is the fastest to go up and down. Water is the slowers to go up and down. the Second Slowest to go up and down. White Sand is 6. If Dr. Al Bedo does not like living where the temperature is too hot or too cold, should he buy a new home near the ocean or a hundred miles inland surrounded by sand? Why? 7. Would you wear a white or black shirt on a hot day or on a cold night? (See heating and cooling times) Describe this difference between specific heat from light and dark substances and what would a great name for this phenomenon (See Professor's name)? 8. 9. Think of one place on Earth that has a high albedo (reflectivity) and explain how this might influence that region's climate. 10. Think of one place on Earth that has a low albedo and explain how this might influence that region's climate. 11. As the planet warms, some of the WHITE polar ice and snow will melt leaving large areas of blue water and dark colored land. Explain, in terms of albedo, how this might further affect the warming of Earth. a. b. Is this a positive or negative feedback look? Explain.
