Why is there a difference in time taken for different materials to cool down after being put into a beaker of hot water?
specific heat capacity is the amount of energy you have to put into a substance to raise a kg of it by 1 degree C or K. because the specific heat capacity is different for different materials, and because the flow of heat out of materials into the water is related to the temperature differencebetween the water and the objects, assuming objects placed in water have same initial temp, the objects with the higher specific heat capacities will cool less quickly.
What property of a substance does its specific heat capacity describe?
How much heat it takes to raise the temperature
What term is use to describe the amount of energy it takes for a certain amount of substances to be raised one degree in temperature is it specific heat specific gravity specific energy specific mass?
It is the Specific Heat Capacity.
What is specific heat capacity?
specific heat capacity of a substance is defined as the QUANITY OF HEAT REQUIRED to raise the temperature of 1 Kg of the substance through 1K ( kelvin ) .however it obtained the unit of J/kg/kThe specific heat capacity is the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of material by 1 degree Celsius._____________________Apex: The energy needed to change the temperature of a substance The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius.
What are the different reference materials that can be found in the library?
The different reference materials that can be found in a library include:AtlasesAlmanacsBibliographiesBiographical resourcesChronologiesConcordancesDictionariesEncyclopaedias (both general and subject-specific)GazetteersGenealogiesGlobesGovernment documentsHandbooksIndexesManualsMapsThesauriYearbooks
What factor most influence the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance?
specific heat capacity
What is si unit and metric unit of specific heat capacity?
"SI unit" and "metric unit" basically means the same. The only metric system used nowadays is the SI. For a specific object, the heat capacity is measured in J/K. To compare different materials, it is of interest to specify the heat capacity PER KILOGRAM, so the units are J / (K times kg). It is also possible to specify heat capacity in J / (K times mole). This would also be SI units.
What is optical absorption spectroscopy?
This is the absorption of photons with specific wavelengths by different types of materials.
What is the specific heat capacity of Polyester?
The specific heat capacity of polyester is 2.35degrees
What are the characteristics of materials to be used for specific project?
The characteristics of materials to be used for a specific project depend on the needs of the project. There are several different types of materials that work better for some products then others. The first step would be to determine which materials would work best.
How are storms different from weather events?
Storms just describe a specific weather event.
How is specific heat of a substance different from the heat capacity?
Imagine 1 kg of water. This has a heat capacity. Now if you have 1000kg of water the heat capacity is obviously greater. The Specific Heat Capacity is a material constant. It specifies a set quantity. For water it is 4.184 kiloJoules per kilogram per Kelvin.
