AI Thread Summary

To measure the specific heat capacitance of copper (Cu), an experiment can be designed using a heating element connected to a DC power supply, an adjustable resistor, an ammeter, a voltmeter, a bucket of water, a piece of copper, and a scale. The setup will involve heating the copper piece submerged in water and measuring the electrical input using the ammeter and voltmeter. The temperature change in the water can be inferred through calculations based on the energy supplied and the mass of the water, despite the absence of a thermometer. The experiment's accuracy hinges on precise measurements of voltage, current, and water mass. This method provides a practical approach to determining the specific heat capacitance of copper.

i need to design an experiment for measuring the specific heat capacitance of Cu, using
a heating element atached to a DC power supply through an adjustable resistor
an ampmeter
a voltmeter
a bucket of water
piece of copper
scale

any ideas??

nope, not that i know of. any ideas

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
