This is the specific heat equation, with variables named with their units.

Q = mc/\T = m*c*(Tf-Ti) 

Q: heat (J)
c: specific heat (J/(g*degree Celsius))
m: mass (g)
/\T = Tf-Ti: change in temperature = final temp - initial temp (degrees Celsius)

The specific heat of copper is 0.385 J/g· ̊C. 

Find the amount of Heat it would take to raise 0.75 g of copper from 10 ̊C to 25 ̊C.

Round to the tenths place, and don't forget your units. 

Q = mC(Tf-Ti) = (0.75)*(0.385)*(25-10)


Q = 4.3 J

Daily Double!
The mass, in kg, of a baseball with kinetic energy of 12800 J, if it is pitched at a speed of 80 m/s.

KE = (1/2)*m*v2

12800 = (1/2)*m*(80)2
m = 2*12800/(6400)
m = 4 kg
