Which of the following has highest specific heat capacity?
A. Aluminium
B. Water
C. Copper
D. Iron
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Water has exceptionally high specific heat (4200 J/kg°C) due to hydrogen bonding. Used as coolant. Iron ~450, copper ~385, aluminium ~900. High specific heat moderates climate.
Explanation:
According to Archimedes' principle, the floating ice displaces a volume of water equal to its own weight. When the ice melts, it transforms into a volume of water that is exactly equal to the volume of water it displaced while floating. Therefore, the water level remains unchanged.
Explanation:
a ∝ -x; magnitude maximum when |x| maximum (extremes). At mean position x=0 ⇒ a=0. Velocity maximum at mean position. Memory aid: 'SHM: a max at extremes, v max at center'. Oscillation concept frequently tested in competitive exams to verify SHM characteristics understanding.
