Question

Write a hypothesis for Part II of the lab, which is about the type of material an object is made of, and its ability to absorb or release thermal energy. Use the format of "if . . . then . . . because . . .” and be sure to answer this part of the lesson question: "How does the type of material affect thermal energy transfer?”

Answer 1

Answer:

Different materials will change temperature at different rates when exposed to the same amount of thermal energy. This is because each substance has its own specific heat.

Explanation:

that is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

A hypothesis I would write for the second part of the lab

Explanation:

If different materials with a same volume are exposed to a same amount of  thermal energy, then they will transfer different amounts, since each material has a unique specific heat.
