3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the specific heat capacity?
Think about how heat affects materials differently.
What is the unit of specific heat capacity?
It's a measurement of heat divided by mass and temperature change.
What is the formula used to calculate heat energy?
Focus on how mass affects temperature of a substance.
True or False: Specific heat capacity is the same for all materials.
Consider how different materials respond to heat.
A scientist transfers 1,500 J of heat to a 1 kg block of copper, causing its temperature to rise by 50°C. What is the specific heat capacity of the copper?
Think about how to isolate c in the equation.
If a 3 kg metal block absorbs 6000 J of heat and its temperature increases by 15°C, what is the specific heat capacity of the metal?
Ensuring the units are consistent will help.
