A sample specific heat capacity problem with solution

[@ThePoshboy1]

Just a note for anyone who's interested: while this mathematical procedure works fine for heating within a single state (ie. there is no change in state in the system), additional energy is required to change the state of a material. That being said thanks for the video.

Absolutely. This problem is meant to an entry level

@@PhysicsHigh I'd like to see the mathematics of that too, how much energy required to change the state of a material and how we could calculate it. These kind of problems are so realistic, I mean, we experience adding heat to something every day.

@@ThePoshboy1 oh thank you

Always excellent explanation and brief too. One suggestion is to put units for each substitution. It makes it clearer for the students not having disembodied numbers . It’s good practice . It then allows a dimensional check too. Ships , planes , space probes and lives have been lost to incorrect use of units ,units , units !

how are you writing backwards?

[@PhysicsHigh]

With lots of practice 🤓 Seriously the video is reversed. 😎
