Why does water heat heat up and cool down VERY SLOWLY?

• High Specific Heat

• Low Specific Heat

• It's solid

• It's always cold

Specific Heat

• Materials that do not conduct heat well.

• A material that conducts heat well,

• The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of a material by 1 kelvin.

• The expansion of matter when it is heated.

The unit for specific heat is

• J

• J/gC

• g

Object A has a specific heat of 4.45 J/g⁰C and object B has a specific heat of 1.82 J/g⁰C. Which object will heat up faster?

• Object A, it has a lower specific heat

• Object B, it has a lower specific heat

• Object A, it has a higher specific heat

• Object B, it has a higher specific heat

What would be the effect on the particles if more heat is supplied to the system?

• They would slow down

• They would stop moving

• They would speed up

• There would be no effect
