The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of a substance by 1 kelvin is called its
A material that conducts heat poorly is called a(n)
Which of these is a good conductor?
Trapped air is a good conductor because it reduces heat transfer
As most substances are cooled, they expand.
Specific heat is measured in joules.
Joints in train tracks are designed with extra space to allow for
The specific heat of foam is 1200J(kg-K). How much heat does it take to raise the temperature of 1 kg of foam by 2 K?
Hint: Remember the Energy Change Formula Energy Change=Mass x Specific Heat x Temperature Change
