Which item requires the least energy to increase its temperature lounge chair sand or water Explain your answer in terms of this item's specific heat?
Sand needs least energy to increase the temperature as its specific heat is very low compared to that of water. Water needs more energy to increase its temperature as its specific heat capacity is higher.
How does mass affect thermal energy?
The thermal energy of any substance is the product of its specific heat and the temperature difference between it and the surroundings. So if you increase the temperature you directly increase the thermal energy, in proportion to the difference between its temperature and ambient temperature.
Why drift velocity increases on increasing temperature?
because the kinetic energy of electron increase with increase in temperature. this increase in kinetic energy increase drift velocity
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.
Why does a substance's temperature increase when it receives more thermal energy?
Temperature is a measure of the concentration of thermal energy.

Sand needs least energy to increase the temperature as its specific heat is very low compared to that of water. Water needs more energy to increase its temperature as its specific heat capacity is higher.
Give an example where one substance has a lower specific heat therefore requires less energy to increase in temperature?
An example of one substance has a lower specific heat and requires less energy to increase in temperature is tomato sauce.
Would substances with high specific heat capacity also have high temperatures?
Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy or heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one kelvin. So if the specific heat capacity is high then you would require more energy or heat to raise its temperature. The specific heat capacity does not really have anything to do with how much you can increase an objects temperature. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ENERGY NEEDED TO INCREASE THE TEMPERATURE.
If there were a slight increase in the amount of solar energy that reached the Earth there would be an immediate increase in?
temperature and climate since you have to use specific distance and precise solar energy reading
Will concrete brick aluminum or copper take most energy to increase its temperature?
Whichever of them has the lowest specific heat capacity will take the least energy to raise its temperature, and whichever has the highest specific heat capacity will take the most energy.

How much heat is needed to increase the temperature of 1 gallon of water?
Any amount of energy you like greater than 0; the larger the amount of energy you give it, the larger the temperature increase will be. Perhaps you should specify by how much temperature you want the gallon of water to increase and you may get a more specific answer.
Why drift velocity increases on increasing temperature?
because the kinetic energy of electron increase with increase in temperature. this increase in kinetic energy increase drift velocity

How do particles of matter react to an increase of temperature?
When there is an increase in an object or medium's temperature, its particles have increase kinetic energy. Temperature is the measure of the average amount of kinetic energy within an object or medium.
What does a temperature increase cause the rate of a reaction to increase?
As temperature increase the speed and energy of molecules increase and the collisions are more probable.
