Answer :
Answer:
a material with a large specific heat can absorb a great deal of thermal energy without a great change in temperature.
Explanation:
The specific heat capacity of an object is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of mass of a substance by [tex]1^{\circ}C[/tex].
Mathematically, it is given by:
[tex]C=\frac{Q}{m\Delta T}[/tex]
where
Q is the amount of energy supplied
m is the mass of the substance
[tex]\Delta T[/tex] is the change in temperature of the substance
The equation can be rewritten as:
[tex]\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mC}[/tex]
Therefore, we see that the increase in temperature of a substance is inversely proportional to its specific heat capacity.
Therefore, a material with a large specific heat can absorb a great deal of thermal energy without a great change in temperature.
