What is heat and how do you measure heat?
Heat is energy in transit from a higher temperature to a lower temperature. In SI, heat is measured in joules.
What does it mean to say that a material has a high or low specific heat capacity?
The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of a said substance 1o K. The capacity is measured in kilojoules divided by kilogram time degrees Kelvin (kJ/Kg k). So, if the specific heat capacity of a substance is high, it requires a very large amount of energy to increase the temperature, and if it has a low specific heat capacity, the required energy will be lower.
What factor most influence the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance?
specific heat capacity
Why does Earth's air temperature vary greatly during the day while its ocean temperature varies only slightly?
The atmosphere has lower heat capacity
Does metal with high heat capacity raise temperature of water more than a metal with low heat capacity?
yes
What is Measured using a thermometer?
Heat is measured using calorimeter.A calorimeter is an object used for calorimetry, or the process of measuring the heat of chemical reactions or physical changes as well as heat capacity.
What is the measure of the amount of heat an object has?
Heat capacity is generally measured as Jule per Kelvin in SI system. It is the the amount of heat required to change a substance's temperature by a given amount.
How is heat different from temperature and thermal energy?
It is heat which is measured by a temperature scale.
What unit is specific heat measured in?
In SI, specific heat capacity is measured in joules per kilogram kelvin.
When heat flows out of an object and its temperature decreases the change in temperature is?
heat capacity
What is heat that can be measured or felt called?
snesible heat
Is heat is measured in degrees Celsius?
Temperature is measured in celcius.Heat is measured in joules.

Heat energy is measured indirectly by?
temperature
