How much energy must be added to a 1 kg piece of granite with a specific heat of 600 j kg degree C to increase its temperature from 20 C to 100 C?

E= mc�θ where m - mass of the substance
c - Specific heat capacity
�θ - Change in temperature
So, Energy added = 1 X 600 X (100-20)
1000
= 48,000J

What is specific temperature?
Specific temperature is an amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius.
Can food help increase body temperature?
Yes. Increase in body temperature increase your basal metabolic rate. This hold true for rise in temperature for few degree Celsius only.
How might our body temperature be affected if water didn't have the high specific heat that it does?
If the water had lower specific heat capacity than the body temperature would be higher as less energy would be required to increase the temperature by 1 degree celsius but seeing that the hypothalamus is responsible for keeping the temperature regulated, The average temperature would remain same as the current body temperature favours a lot of enzyme activity as well.
How do you calculate the increase in the speed of sounds for every 1 degree celsius rise in temperature?
It can be calculated in a simple manner. The formula for finding it is: V(t) = Vo + 0.61t This formula shows that for one degree rise in temperature, the increase in velocity will be 0.61m/s
How does air temperature impact the speed of sound?
The speed of sound increases by approx 0.6 metres/second for every Celsius degree increase in temperature.
What is the substances specific heat?
The amount of heat required to increase the temperature of the substance to 1 degree greater than that of the initial temperature of the body!
What does it mean to have a specific heat greater than water?
It means that it takes more energy to raise the object's temperature by 1 degree than it does to increase the temperature of water by 1 degree..
Is a temperature increase of 1 degree Fahrenheit is equivalent to a temperature increase of 59 degree Celsius correct or false?
correct

What is the change in temperature from -8 to 8?
A 16 degree increase !
Which is greater an increasein temperature of one degree celsius or one degree Fahrenheit?
one degree centigrade is greater increase in temperature than one degreeFahrenheit.
What is the degree for luke warm temperature?
There is no specific temperature. Lukewarm typically means neutral in temperature to the skin.
How are celsius and kelvin alike?
A 1 degree increase in either is the same increase in the amount of thermodynamic temperature. In layman's terms, a 1 degree increase in either feels the same.
