specific heat is the amount of heat to be absorbed required to raise a substance 1 degree celsius. And by heat being absorbed, i mean energy, because specific heat is measured in joules
Another term used for specific heat is temperature.
In SI, specific heat capacity is measured in joules per kilogram kelvin.
There is not a common specific heat among metals. The specific heat of metals ranges from .12 J / kg K for uranium to 1.83 J / kg K for Beryllium.
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.
Things that heat quickly typically have a low specific heat capacity, as they require less energy to raise their temperature compared to substances with a higher specific heat capacity.
Every substance has a specific heat. The definition of specific heat is: The amount of energy, usually measured in calories, needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a certain substance by one degree Celsius.
Living things use enzymes instead of a heat source of activation energy because they speed up chemical reactions as well as the metabolism in those living things.
YES! living things can't be cold or they might freeze to death, yet they can't have too much, either.
To conserver heat
no bc it doesnt have the heat and all living things need heat
Because it hakes a lot of energy to heat the water, the water's heat capacity (amount of heat energy necessary to increase the water temperature) is higher. This allows large bodies of water (oceans, lakes, etc.) to absorb larger amounts of heat with very subtle changes in temperature. Therefore. the organisms living in the water are protected from drastic temperature changes (water absorbs the heat produced by cell activity, which regulates cell temperature). This affects other living things because water-dwelling animals are resources to other organisms (for food, material, etc.).
Machines and living things can convert stored energy into different forms of energy such as mechanical, electrical, or heat energy, depending on the process or mechanism involved.
no,if living things dont have heat,plants dont grow(food),we will freeze(no heat right?) and everyone will go extinct.heat is an evreyday thing for us,if we dont have it,we die.its part of our life cycle(not in it)we just need it.
that heat is hot, heat is spelt h-e-a-t, and heat is a word
All the living beings would die... All the humans and animals would die by freezing... Because we need heat.
Living things get energy from food during digestion. This is an exothermic reaction in which heat and electrons are released and used as energy.
