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.
What is an object that heat does not travel through quickly?
In general a heat insulator, for a more specific answer try aerogels
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.
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
Which type of objects absorb heat most readily?
The objects that absorb heat most readily are those with more of the following qualities:the object is largethe object has a large surface areathe object is blackthe object has a matte finish (it is not shiny)the object is made from a conductor such as metalthe object is much colder than its surroundingsthe object has a high specific heat capacity
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 .

Water has a relatively low specific heat?
The specific heat of water is high. An example of an object with low specific heat would be a metal pan. Since specific heat is the energy needed to raise 1g of something 1 degree Celsius, water would have a high specific heat.

What is the formula in finding the amount of heat transfered to an object?
The formula for finding the amount of heat transferred to an object is Q = mc(change in T). Q represents heat energy in J, m is the mass of the object in kg, and c is the specific heat of the material.

Let's say there are two objects Object 1 has a high specific heat and Object 2 has a low specific heat Which object would heat more I'll give trust point and recommend contributor?
Heat energy (gained/lost)= mass x specific heat capacity x temperature(rise/fall) Now with this expression we come to know that for a given mass and with a given amount of heat energy in joule, as sp. heat cap is more then rise / fall in temperature will be less and vice versa.
How is specific heat related to thermal heat?
specific heat is the amount of thermal energy needed to raise the temperature of an object. for example, the water on the beach and the sand on the shore are absorbing the same amount of thermal energy from the sun but the water (which has high specific heat) is cold, and the sand (with low specific heat) is very hot.

200.0 Joules of heat is required to raise the temperature of an object sample by 3.00C If the specific heat of the object is 01490 JgC what is the mass of the sample in kilograms?
Use the equation for specific heat: energy = mass x (temperature difference) x (specific heat). Replace the numbers you know, and solve for mass. Since it seems that the specific heat is specified per gram, you'll initially get the mass per gram. Converting that to kilograms is quite easy.
