Question

5 What are the factors that affect the absorbance of heat by an object?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Factors that affect rate of heat flow include the conductivity of the material, temperature difference across the material, thickness of the material, and area of the material

Answer 2

The factors that affect the absorbance of heat by an object are:

• The specific heat capacity of the object to absorb and retain heat.
• The mass of the body directly affects the rate of its heat absorption.
• The temperature of the object, temperature rise will lead to increased heat absorption.
• The color of the object – dark-colored objects will absorb more heat than ‘light-colored objects’.  
• The area and thickness of the object also affects the rate of heat absorption by a body.
