Depends on both the exact material and the exact temperature. The amount of heat required to raise 1 gram of material X by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat of material X. It takes 1000 times as much thermal energy to raise 1 kilogram by one degree Celsius because 1 kilogram is 1000 times as much mass as 1 gram. This does not hold over phase changes, such as ice to water or water to steam, because any phase change requires energy just for the phase change. Further, if you use a sharp pencil, many materials have specific heat which changes depending on the material's exact temperature. So you need to know what material and what temperature range and for that material are there any phase changes at that temperature range.

What is the amount of cooling required to low the temperature of a substance through 1 degree Celsius?
To lower the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius would be to remove 1 calorie.
Does temperature have an effect on the amount of thermal energy in a substance?
When the temperature might be increasing, thermal energy is increasing and it increases much faster when decreasing than when increasing so it's permanent energy and can never be reducing!
Two objects may have the same temperature but they will not have the same amounts of thermal energy unless they also have the same amount of?
heat
2 glasses of water have the same thermal energy must they have the same temperature explain?
How you can tell is the temperature between the two liquids. If one of the liquid's temperature is warmer than the other one, then that liquid has more thermal energy.
What is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one cubic centimeter of water on degree on the Celsius scale?
1 kilocalorie
The amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a material to 1 celsius degree is?
a calorie
Is thermal energy measured in Celsius?
No. Temperature is measured in degrees celsius. Thermal energy, which causes temperature change, is measured in calories or british thermal units. A calorie, not a food calorie, is the amount of heat necessary to raise 1 ml of water 1 degree celsius. 252 calories = 1 btu. 1 food calorie is actually equivalent to 1000 calories of heat.
How does a thermometer help when comparing the energies of particles?
A thermometer measures the amount of thermal energy a material has. This thermal energy is related to the vibrational and rotational energy the particles in the material have. By using the thermometer to measure the temperature of a material you are, in effect, measuring the amount of energy the particles of that material have.
Is temperature an element?
No, temperature is the amount of thermal energy in a given amount of a substance.
How long does take thermal expansion take?
You may need to rephrase the question. Thermal expansion is the amount a material expands or contracts under temperature change; expansion is instantaeous with temperature. When temperature is reached, so is expansion. It may take time to rach temperature, however.
Does temperature have a higher amount of thermal energy in a substance?
The higher of the temperature of a substance, the more thermal energy it has.
Is degrees related to thermal energy?
The amount of thermal energy a substance has is proportional to its 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.
What is the unit of measure for heat quantity- German-American-British or Swedish Thermal Unit?
The metric unit is the calorie, which is the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a gram of pure water one degree Celsius. The standard unit is the British Thermal Unit (BTU), which is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a pound of pure water one degree Fahrenheit.
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.
Is temperature based on how much of a substance you have?
No.But the amount of thermal energy does.
Is Temperature an indicator of the amount of thermal energy that an object possesses?
yes it is
