Substance A would have a delta T (change in temp) rise 1/2 the rise in substance B.

Q=mc x delta T

Q= heat energy in Joules
m= mass of substance heated or cooled
c= specific heat
ΔT is change in temp.

Solve for change in temp=. Q/mc

Specific heat and mass are not inversely proportional to heat energy input.

Putting into real world scenario of using water to heat a building.

Specific heat of water is 1.
It takes 1 btu to raise one pound of water 1 degF. at a base of 60 degF

Acetone specific heat is .51

So it takes half the amount of heat input to get a 100 degree ΔT, as compared to water.

How do force affect the acceleration of a body?<br><br>​
Arada [10]

The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.

What is meant by a colored shadow? If "shadow" means
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Explanation:

Red, green, and blue are therefore called additive primaries of light. ... When you block two lights, you see a shadow of the third color—for example, block the red and green lights and you get a blue shadow. If you block only one of the lights, you get a shadow whose color is a mixture of the other two.

First, your definition of a shadow is incorrect. A shadow is an area that receives less light than its surroundings because a specific source of light is blocked by whatever is "casting" the shadow. Your example of being outside reveals this. The sky and everything around you in the environment (unless you are surrounded by pitch black buildings) is sending more than enough light into your shadow, to reveal the pen to your eyes. The sky itself diffuses the sunlight everywhere, and the clouds reflect plenty of light when they are not directly in front of the Sun.

If you are indoors and have two light bulbs, you can throw two shadows at the same time, possibly of different darknesses, depending on the brightness of the light bulbs.

It can take a lot of work to get a room pitch black. One little hole or crack in some heavy window curtains can be enough to illuminate the room. There are very few perfectly dark shadows.
