Aim The overall aim of this Physics Coursework is to investigate into the factors which affect the speed of the cooling of water. Background Information There are many factors that affect the cooling of hot water. I have listed some of these below: 1) Shape of the container and surface area. This could be weather the container is short or fat, or tall or thin. 2) Room temperature. This could vary from about 10°C to 30°C. 3) Insulation. Does covering the container several times make any difference to the speed of the cooling of hot water? I will look for information about conduction, convection, radiation and evaporation. Heat Transfer Heat and Temperature All objects contain heat energy within them. Heat energy is caused by particles within the object moving around via kinetic energy. The diagram below shows atoms of gas like Neon and Argon. The arrows in the diagram show that the atoms have different speeds in different directions. If the...
