If the heat capacity of an object is known what other information will need to be known to calculate its specific heat capacity?

By using the definition of "specific heat". You add a certain amount of heat, and see how much the temperature increases. You also need to measure the sample's mass. Then divide the amount of heat by (mass x temperature increase).

What information is needed to calculate an object's weight?
Object's massLocal gravitation field strength
Does a substance that cools off quickly have a high or low specific heat capacity?
Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of an object or substance by 1oK. The rate at which something cools is proportional to the difference in temperature between the object and its surroundings. Consequently, neither has any relation to the other.
How can the specific heat of water be used to determine the specific heat of an object?
If you know the temperature and mass of an object, and the temperature, mass, and specific heat of the water, if you dunk the object in the water, and measure the temperature of the water and the object (once the object and water have the same temperature), using reasoning skills and/or equations you can figure out the specific heat of the object. Historically the specific heat was related to SH of water . Water being 1 That now is seen as archaic. The specific heat (of a substance) is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. This does not apply if a phase change is encountered. Every substance has to be measured separately .
The greater the mass of an object the greater. is?
The greater the mass of an object the greater it's inertia The greater the mass of an object the greater it's inertia The greater the mass of an object the greater it's inertia
Calculate the density of an object that has a mass of 25 grams and a volume of 400cm3?
The object's density is 0.0625 g/cm3
Factors affect heat gained or lost?
-heat capacity of the object (equal to mass times the specific heat capacity of the object) -overall change in temperature.
How do you determine the specific heat capacity of an object by method of cooling?
the spesific heat capacity of a liquid by the mithod of cooling
What information is needed to calculate an object's weight?
Object's massLocal gravitation field strength
How can you use graphs to calculate displacement of an object?
The answer will depend on what information is shown in the graph!

What is used to find the specific heat capacity of a substance?
The equation for specific heat is: C = q/temp. change x mass. C is a substance's specific heat, which is a constant for every substance. q is its heat capacity in joules, temp. change is the change in temperature in degrees Celsius, and mass is in grams.
Does a substance that heats up have a high or a low specific heat capacity?
An object that heats quickly up has a low specific heat. this is because it can't hold much energy, so the heat is pushed to the outside, making the object feel warm.
What is density of an object with the volume of 20cm3?
Density = Mass/Volume. Without information about the mass, you cannot calculate the density.
What is the coolant capacity of an N14 cummins?
[object Object]
What database object allows you to select specific information from one or many tables?
You are referring to the Microsoft Access Database. This allows you the ability to select specific information from one or many tables.
What information is needed to calculate an object's weigth?
Weight= mass x gravity Gravity on earth is 9.8 but we use 10
What is the amound of space an object contains?
The object's 'volume' or 'capacity'.
