This is measured in calories. 1 calorie is defined as the heat required to raise 1 gram of water 1 degC, though often the kilocalorie is used which is the same for 1 kg of water. Any object other than water will have its own specific heat capacity which depends entirely on the material it is made from. You can look up in tables the specific heat capacity of different materials. There is a fixed relation between heat energy and mechanical energy, which is that there are 4.2 Joules in 1 calorie.
