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 two things affect thermal energy?
Its temperature and its specific thermal capacity
What is the amount of energy that it takes to raise temperature of 1gram of substance by 1 degree kelvin?
Heat energy, although almost any energy will become heat. The amount of energy required depends on the substance.
What is specific heat capacity?
specific heat capacity of a substance is defined as the QUANITY OF HEAT REQUIRED to raise the temperature of 1 Kg of the substance through 1K ( kelvin ) .however it obtained the unit of J/kg/kThe specific heat capacity is the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of material by 1 degree Celsius._____________________Apex: The energy needed to change the temperature of a substance The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius.

What is thermal capacity?
The physical quantity which is used to measure the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a given substance is known as heat capacity or thermal capacity. Its S.I. unit is J/K.
What is the measure of the amount of the thermal energy in a substance?
specific heat
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 are at least 4 thermal properties of uranium?
- thermal conductivity - melting point - boiling point - specific heat capacity - coefficient of thermal expansion - superconductivity at low temperature
How does mass affect thermal energy?
The thermal energy of any substance is the product of its specific heat and the temperature difference between it and the surroundings. So if you increase the temperature you directly increase the thermal energy, in proportion to the difference between its temperature and ambient temperature.
In the equation Q mc and DeltaT c represents .?
Answer: Thermal Heat. Its Thermal somethingI just passed it and forgot the answer
If a metal has a high specific heat capacity does that mean it is a better electrical conductor than one that has a low specific heat?
Whether or not a substance is a conductor is not an indicator of its specific heat. This applies to either an electrical conductor or a thermal conductor. There is generally no direct correlation between a substance's ability to conduct electricity or heat and the specific heat of that substance.
