Unit 2.2.2 Specific Heat Capacity SUPPLEMENT

Describe an increase in temperature of an object in terms of an increase in the average kinetic energies of all of the particles in the object

Define specific heat capacity as the energy required per unit mass per unit temperature increase; recall and use the equation
c =
∆E
m∆θ

Describe experiments to measure the specific heat capacity of a solid and a liquid
