Heat is important because we need the right amount of it. Temperatures below freezing can damage plant and animal life. Temperatures too high can also kill plant and animal life.

What are the 3 ingredients of fire?

For fire you need three main ingredients. First you need a fuel, this fuel can be anything that burns like wood for example. Second you need oxygen, without oxygen a fire cannot burn. Finally you need heat, even though fires give off heat you still need it to start a fire. If you remove any one of these three ingredients then the fire will die.


If a susbtance has a high heat of vaporization what does this mean in terms of the quality of heat needed for the evaporation of this liquid?

It's not the quality of the heat, but the quantity of the heat. It means you need to put a large amount of (heat) energy into that substance to convert it from liquid to vapor at the same temperature. (Check out boiling water.)


If you wanted to know the the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 2 kg of steel by 10 degrees celsius what do you need to know about steel?

To calculate the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of steel by 10 degrees Celsius, you would need to know the specific heat capacity of steel. This value represents how much heat is required to raise the temperature of a given mass of steel by 1 degree Celsius. Once you have this information, you can use the formula Q = mcΔT, where Q is the heat energy, m is the mass of the steel, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the temperature change.


Can nuts make heat from a lighter?

No, nuts are not able to generate heat from a lighter. In order to produce a flame, nuts would need to contain certain combustible materials that can ignite when exposed to heat.


What material needs to absorb a lot of heat in order to burn?

Materials that need to absorb a lot of heat to burn typically have high heat capacities, such as metals like steel or aluminum. These materials can act as heat sinks, requiring a significant amount of heat energy to reach their ignition points and start to burn.

Do chickens need heat to produce good eggs?

Quite simply...No people would argue lots of factors needed to produce good eggs, but this is not one of them. If you meant good chickens then yes, you need heat.

Why is heat not matter i need to know for sicience homework?

Heat is NOT matter. Heat is not even energy. It is defined as the "transfer of energy", so it refers strictly to the PROCESS of the TRANSFER of energy. My prof explained this to me in class, apparently many people misunderstand this.
