How is it possible to add a lot of heat to something but not raise the temp very much?

If you have a small amount of thermal energy in a small area then the area will heat up faster. If you have the amount of thermal energy in a large area then you are hopeless. The same amount of thermal energy will be transferred to the air. But in a larger room there are always many more particles. Each particle only gets a tiny share of the extra energy. The average energy of the particles increases, but only a tiny bit. The temperature rises, but not very much.

It is possible if the substance has a high specific heat capacity, which means it can absorb a lot of heat energy without experiencing a large temperature change. This occurs because the heat energy is used to increase the internal energy of the substance, rather than just raising its temperature.

Does insulated mean heated?
No, insulated means to protect something from changes in temperature by trapping heat in or out. Heating means adding heat to something to increase its temperature.
How much heat is required to raise the temperature of the room?
The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a room depends on the room's size, insulation, current temperature, and the desired temperature. It can be calculated using the specific heat capacity of air, room volume, and the temperature difference.
If two objects of the same mass require different amounts of heat to raise their temperatures 10 Kelvin the object have different what?
Specific heat capacities. This is a measure of how much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of a substance by a certain amount. Objects with different specific heat capacities will require different amounts of heat to achieve the same temperature change.
How much heat in joules would you need to raise the temperature of 1kg of water by 5 and degC?
You would need 20,920 Joules of heat to raise the temperature of 1kg of water by 5Ā°C. This value is calculated using the specific heat capacity of water, which is 4186 J/kgĀ°C.
How much the temperature of a material is changed by heat energy depends?
The change in temperature of a material due to heat energy depends on the specific heat capacity of the material. Different materials have different specific heat capacities, which determine how much heat energy is needed to raise their temperature by a certain amount.
How much money does the WWF raise per year?
WWF raise as much as possible, normally around £1,000,000,000

About 322.5 Joules of heat
What is the measure of how much heat will raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 degrees c?
The specific heat of the substance.
Does insulated mean heated?
No, insulated means to protect something from changes in temperature by trapping heat in or out. Heating means adding heat to something to increase its temperature.

62762.3773kg
What property of a substance does its specific heat capacity describe?
How much heat it takes to raise the temperature
Why does heat become unbearable after it rains in summer?
The raise in humidity after rainfall often makes the heat seem much more oppressive.
What is the ability of a substance to absorb heat energy is called?
Specific heat capacity describes how much heat energy that is needed to raise the temperature of material.
How much heat is in fresh water?
It would depend on the temperature of the water, or average kinetic energy. (KE) However, what you may be looking for is how much heat is needed to raise the KE, or temperature, of water. 4.184 kilojoules per gram is the heat required to raise the temperature of water 1 degree Celsius.

It is scientifically and surgically possible.
How does color effect heat?
The darker the color the higher the heat and the lighter the color the less heat
