Thermal Energy

From the video that we watched on Friday explain the procedure of determining the specific heat of an object.

I don't know how to do that. I forgot how to do that since we had a weekend. ALl i know is that specific heat is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature 1 degree Celsius.

It is when the warmer bar reaches the tempurature of the cooler bar.

Specific heat is the heat that is needed to raise the temperature one degree. But i dont know how to find it it was long and very boring video there is an equation but i dont know it.

I think that the procuedure is taking out the thermal energy and putting is in a caliometer. I am not sure that is what i think.

there is an equation i think...but i dont remember how to do it...does this count as a blog? i sure hope sooo....

I don't remember anything about the video. It was long and i didn't understand it very well. I remember there was some equation but i had no clue how to figure it out so i just quit trying with it.

The equation for a specific the amount of energy needed to raise the temp 1 degree Celsius

I dont really remember much. They all talked really fast and they sounded like they were from Canada. Not that, being from Canada is a bad thing (briana). But i think it had something with one bar and another bar touch.

I cant remember how to do it but I remember that specific heat was the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature one degree celsius. I cant really remember the actual equation. That was a long time ago.

I don't remember what the movie said. It was a long time ago. The movie was confusing and I didn't get it. I didn't like it. I do know that specific heat is the amount of heat that is needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of some material by 1 C.

I dont know. I was confused during the whole movie, and I cant remeber what they said about this.

Specific heat ist he amount of heat that is needed to raise the temp. of 1 kg of some materail by 1 degree celcius. It is measured in joules per kilogram degree celsius. It is measured using a calorimeter. change in thermal energy = mass*change in temp*specific heat.

Specific heat is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature 1 degree C. It is measured in joules per kilogram degrees celcius. Energy= mass times change in temperature times specific heat.

I completely 100%......have no clue how to do that. I totally forgot that whole movie on Friday. I could barely get the equations the first time, how am i supposed to remember them a second time? haha
