Why did Martin use a container made of wood in the experiment?
Why did Martin use a container made of wood in the experiment?
- To prevent heat loss to the surroundings (correct)
- To speed up the experiment
- To make the water boil faster
- To observe the reaction of wood with water
Why was it necessary for the experiment to be conducted over a short period of time?
Why was it necessary for the experiment to be conducted over a short period of time?
- To reduce errors caused by external factors affecting the air temperature (correct)
- To match the duration of other experiments conducted simultaneously
- To allow time for the wood to absorb water
- To show a longer time lapse in the experiment
What is the relationship between the temperature of the air and distance Y based on Martin's results?
What is the relationship between the temperature of the air and distance Y based on Martin's results?
- Temperature increases as distance Y decreases
- Temperature decreases as distance Y increases (correct)
- Temperature remains constant regardless of distance Y
- Temperature increases as distance Y increases
