how does the length of time relate to the amount of heat absorbed?

Answer 1

Can you think of some examples that might help you answers this question by reasoning. For example,
1. Suppose you are heating water. Does it take longer to boil a cup of water or a tub of water? In other words, which must absorb more heat?

2. Suppose you stick you finger on a red hot burner. Do you think it will burn your finger more if you leave it there for a microsecond or for a minute? In which case is more heat absorbed?
