Explain how the specific heat of a substance is determined?
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
What is another term used for specific heat is?
Another term used for specific heat is temperature.
What unit is specific heat measured in?
In SI, specific heat capacity is measured in joules per kilogram kelvin.
Many common metals have a specific heat of what?
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.
What is a penny's specific heat capacity?
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.
