Define heat capacity and specific heat capacity?
Heat capacity is The ratio of the heat energy absorbed by a substance to the substance's increase in temperature. The quantity of heat required to raise a unit mass of homogeneous material one unit in temperature along a specified path, provided that during the process no phase or chemical changes occur, is known as the heat capacity of the material. Moreover, the path is so restricted that the only work effects are those necessarily done on the surroundings to cause the change to conform to the specified path. The path is usually at either constant pressure or constant volume. In accordance with the first law of thermodynamics, heat capacity at constant pressure Cp is equal to the rate of change of enthalpy with temperature at constant pressure (?H/?T)p. Heat capacity at constant volume Cv is the rate of change of internal energy with temperature at constant volume (?U/?T)v. It is usually expressed as calories per degree in terms of the amount of the material being considered. Heat capacity and its temperature variation depend on differences in energy levels for atoms. Heat capacities are measured with a calorimeter and are important as a means of determining the entropies of materials.
Where can a physicist work?
Physics is a branch of science. Science can bn used in all and physics its part. We know the answer and finding question is physics? It works on nature, forces,heat, and the matter visible and invisible./
Why does heat consider as a form of energy?
Energy is defined as the ability to do work. When a body is supplied with heat,the body gains the tendency to do work.thus heat has the capacity to do work hence heat is considered as a form of energy
What is studied in the field of thermodynamics?
the movement of energy and heat .
Why is work output always less than work input?
Work output is always less than work input because some work is lost to friction and heat which is created in the process of physics.
What is the specific heat capacity of fish source?
To work out the specific heat capacity of fish source sauce you would need to first find out the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of the substance by 1oC
What is the capacity to do work or produce heat?
Energy is the capacity to do work or to produce heat.
What is the true definition of energy?
In physics, energy is the capacity to do work.
What is the introduction of heat and work?
An introduction to heat and work can be found in any basic physics textbook.
Capacity of a substance to do work?
heat
What causes the magnet to work?
Physics. We can be more specific if you will.

Why copper pipesare used in ac work?
Copper has a .39 specific heat capacity which is almost the same as silver, but is 1/6 the cost. Specific heat capacity is a substances ability to hold heat and the smaller value the better. Copper is the 4th best solid to use for cooling systems behind lead, silver, and gold(none of which can be used for expense and/or health reasons.)
How do you become a physicist?
You study physics to a degree level (or higher) and then do work which uses the specific knowledge - of one or more branches of physics.
How does specific heat capacity affect heat retention?
Not sure what you mean by "how does it work," but Wikipedia has a very well written article on Specific Heat Capactiy. I'm sure it contains the information and explanantion you're looking for. See the web link.
