Answer: Heat energy is another name for thermal energy.
Explanation:
As thermal energy comes from moving particles, it is a form of kinetic energy. Thermal energy comes from a substance whose molecules and atoms are vibrating faster due to a rise in temperature.
Answer:
specific heat.
Explanation:
Definition:
The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree is called specific heat.
Formula:
Q = m. c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat required
m = mass of substance
c = specific heat of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
The substance with greater value of specific heat require more heat to raise the temperature while the substance with lower value will raise its temperature very quickly by absorbing smaller heat.
For example the beach sand gets hot very quickly because of lower specific heat of sand while water is colder than sand because of higher specific heat capacity.
