Consider two objects of very different sizes that are heated to the same temperature. If we put them into identical containers of cold water, will the effect be the same, or very different?
Do the activity If two objects are at the same temperature,
do they both contain the same amount of energy? in the manual
(Thermal Energy #1).
This activity has a fairly detailed recipe, and will work best if you
are careful to follow the instructions.
It takes energy to raise the temperature of water. According to your results, did your two rocks contain the same amount of thermal energy?
