• Q = PT

• Q = mv

• Q = Fd

Multiple Choice

How does the specific heat of a substance affect its ability to store heat?

• A higher specific heat means more heat can be stored.

• A lower specific heat means more heat can be stored.

• Specific heat doesn’t affect heat storage.

• Specific heat affects temperature, not heat storage.

Fun fact

Did you know that when you're cooking, the heat from the stove transfers to the pots and pans you're using? This happens because the stove gives off heat energy, which then moves through the metal of the pots and pans. That's why it's important to use oven mitts or pot holders to handle hot pots and pans - they help prevent the heat from transferring to your hands and burning you!
