The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy associated with doing which of the following to 1kg of the substance?

Raising its temperature by

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of a substance is defined as the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by .

The specific heat capacity of a substance essentially tells us how much energy is needed to heat the substance: the larger it is, the more energy is needed. The amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of a substance is given by

where

m is the mass of the substance

Cs is the specific heat capacity

is the temperature variation of the substance

this is poiselle's equation from fluid mechanic in physics. mech eng

the total distance that martina travels that day is

(distance from home to mom's office) plus (distance from mom's office to school)

plus (distance from school to library) plus (distance from library to friend's house)

plus (distance from friend's house to martina's house).

(we don't know what any of these distance actually is.)
