"SI unit" and "metric unit" basically means the same. The only metric system used nowadays is the SI.
For a specific object, the heat capacity is measured in J/K. To compare different materials, it is of interest to specify the heat capacity PER KILOGRAM, so the units are J / (K times kg). It is also possible to specify heat capacity in J / (K times mole). This would also be SI units.

What is relation between heat capacity and specific heat capacity?
The "specific heat capacity" is simply the heat capacity per unit - it might be per mass unit, per volume unit, or per amount of moles.
When does the thermal capacity of a substance become equal to its specific gravity?
Thermal capacity is equals to the product of the mass of the body and its specific gravity. Thus, specific heat is equals to the thermal capacity divided by the mass of the body. Now, if the mass of tue body be unity then specific heat will be equals to the thermal capacity of the body. So, thermal capacity of unit mass of a substance is equals to its specific heat
What is meant by specific heat capacity?
It is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of a given unit by a given amount. In physics, the standard unit of measurement is the Joule per Kelvin.
What is the difference betwween heat energy and temperature?
Heat is the cause and temperature is the effect Heat = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature Heat is proportional to temperature and in not equal to temperature. Heat has joule as unit where as temperature has the unit kelvin
What is the amount of energy needed to change the temp of a substance called?
The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius
What is relation between heat capacity and specific heat capacity?
The "specific heat capacity" is simply the heat capacity per unit - it might be per mass unit, per volume unit, or per amount of moles.
What variable represent specific heat?
The unit for the specific heat capacity is J/kg.K.
What are the units specikfic heat is commonly expressed in?
Specific heat capacity is the heat capacity per unit mass, and is expressed as
What is the metric unit of capacity of a teardrop?
The metric unit is a millilitre. The metric unit is a millilitre. The metric unit is a millilitre. The metric unit is a millilitre.
What metric unit would you use for a capacity of a thimble?
Milliliters is the metric unit to use for the capacity of a thimble.
What unit is specific heat measured in?
In SI, specific heat capacity is measured in joules per kilogram kelvin.
What unit is capacity?
Metric
Describe specific heat capacity as varying between different materials?
Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a body per unit of mass.
Is capacity a metric unit?
Capacity isn't a unit it is just a term that means how much a container holds. You can have metric units of capacity, such as Litres and Millilitres.
What is a metric unit for capacity?
liter
What is a penny's specific heat capacity?
Specific heat capacity is heat capacity per unit mass. So it depends on the exact alloy composity of your penny, and not on its size.In a typical US post-1962 penny, the specific heat capacity is about .39 kJ/kgKIn a US penny from 1864-1962, the specific heat capacity would be a little less than this. The same was true from 1837-1857.From 1793-1837, the specific heat capacity was about .39 kJ/kgK.
Which metric unit would you use to measure the capacity of a hot water tank?
metric unit
