Quiz on Heat Storage and Specific Heat

What is the main focus of the simulation 'Heat Storage Depends on Specific Heat'?

• Learning about diffusion

• Exploring chemical reactions

• Understanding heat transfer between objects

• Studying the phases of matter

What does the specific heat of an object determine?

• The color of the object

• The amount of heat energy it holds

• The weight of the object

• The size of the object

Note: The specific heats of the two different objects is different. Run the simulation testing 3 different specific heats by using both thermometers. What pattern do you see evolving?

The amount of energy required to raise the temperature 1ºC for every kilogram is called____?

• Thermal Energy
• Specific Heat
• Temperature
• Kinetic Energy

Directions: Set the block on the left at a specific heat of 3100 J/kg ⋅°C and the right one at 2000 J/kg ⋅°C. After doing practice runs with other various specific heats and noting the temperatures by the two thermometers, what is your prediction for the final temperature in this scenario?

After looking at what makes up an EV battery, what are the implications of knowing the specific heat of these minerals?
