Can anyone help e with these physical science questions?

Question

please answer with a percentage on how sure you are:

The specific heat of water helps explain how large bodies of water help ________

A. increase the temperature of surrounding land areas.

B. moderate the temperatures of surrounding land areas.

C. decrease the temperature of surrounding land areas.

D. improve the quality of the drinking water.

A number description of how well a substance retains heat or how quickly the temperature of a substance increases or decreases is called ___________.

A. absolute zero

B. boiling point

C. specific heat

D. thermal value

Temperature is a measure of ______________

A. the amount of potential energy in something.

B. the amount of mechanical energy in something.

C. the average kinetic energy in something.

D. the average thermal energy in something.

Answer 1

1.Specific heat of water is the amount of heat energy added or subtracted to raise or lower the temperature 1 degree.  For the metric system this is one calorie for 1 degree Celcius.  

B) THIS HELPS MODERATE TEMPERATURE OF SURROUNDING LAND. 100%

2. Absolute Zero is the point of no kinetic motion. Boiling point is the temperature associated with rapid phase change from liquid to gas at a given temp. Thermal value is the amount of energy given off when burned. This leaves

C) Specific heat- a measure of how easily a given mass absorbs heat and changes temperature.  100%

3) since absoulte zero is the theoretical point of stopping of all kinetic energy then temperature must be the measure of the average amount of kinetic energy an object has.

C) The average kinetic energy in something.

Answer 2

B, C, D

Answer 3

B-moderate the temperatures of surrounding land areas 70%

D-Thermal value 100%

C-the average kinetic energy in something 100%

Answer 4

Temperature is a measurement of the average kinetic energy in something. 100% sure of this answer

A number description of how well a substance retains heat or how quickly the temperature of a substance increases or decreases is called thermal value. 100%

Answer 5

QUES:The specific heat of water helps explain how large bodies of water help ________.

ANS:B-moderate the temperatures of surrounding land areas 100%

QUES:A number description of how well a substance retains heat or how quickly the temperature of a substance increases or decreases is called ___________.

ANS:D-Thermal value 100%

QUES:Temperature is a measure of ______________

ANS:C-the average kinetic energy in something 100%

Hope that helped!!

Answer 6

I would say B, C, C

Specific heat tells you how much energy went in to raise the temperature by X degrees, and therefore how much heat is stored in the material.

i'm 100% sure mom isn't 100% right
