specific heat is the amount of thermal energy needed to raise the temperature of an object. for example, the water on the beach and the sand on the shore are absorbing the same amount of thermal energy from the sun but the water (which has high specific heat) is cold, and the sand (with low specific heat) is very hot.

Are Heat energy and thermal energy opposite?
Thermal energy is the energy contained in a system at a specific temperature a combination of kinetic and potential of the particles. Heat Energy is similar as Thermal energy but when you add heat energy the Temperature of the system may decrease on increase.
What kind of energy is also called thermal energy?
Thermal Energy is the kind of energy that is related to and/or caused by heat
What is the movement of energy from warmer object to a cooler object?
the movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object is called heat transfer
Way difference between temperature and thermal energy and How are they related?
Thermal energy ie heat is the CAUSE and temperature is the EFFECT.
What type of energy is heat?
Heat is thermal energy. It is pretty much the same thing as thermal energy.
How is specific heat related to thermal heat?
specific heat is the amount of thermal energy needed to raise the temperature of an object. for example, the water on the beach and the sand on the shore are absorbing the same amount of thermal energy from the sun but the water (which has high specific heat) is cold, and the sand (with low specific heat) is very hot.
How is heat related to thermal energy?
Heat is the transfer of thermal energy.
How are temperature thermal energy and heat related?
Temperature,heat and thermal energy all deal with kentic energy.
What is type of energy thermal energy is?
Thermal Energy is the kind of energy that is related to and/or caused by heat
Energy that is related to heat and the temperature of matter?
Thermal energy is energy that is related to heat and the temperature of matter.
How are heat and Thermal energy related?
it is related because heat is temperature and temperature tells how fast molecules move and thermal energy is kinetic + potential energy
Are Heat energy and thermal energy opposite?
Thermal energy is the energy contained in a system at a specific temperature a combination of kinetic and potential of the particles. Heat Energy is similar as Thermal energy but when you add heat energy the Temperature of the system may decrease on increase.
Is there another term for specific heat?
Another specific term for heat is thermal energy for light it is radiant energy.
What can specific heat be used to measure change in?
Specific heat can be used to measure changes in thermal energy by using the equation: Change in thermal energy = mass x Change in temperature x specific heat
In the equation Q mcΔT c represents .?
The specific heat of the substance being heated.
How are thermal energy and temperature related how are they different?
Thermal energy ie heat is the CAUSE and temperature is the EFFECT.
What is the name of the thermal energy that moves from a warmer object to a cooler one?
"Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat".
