What happens to the density of warm air compared to cool air?

Back

Warm air is less dense than cool air, causing it to rise.

What is the specific heat capacity?

Back

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1°C.

Front

What is the formula for calculating heat energy?

Back

Q = mcΔT, where Q is heat energy, m is mass, c is specific heat, and ΔT is the change in temperature.
