Question

The same quantity of thermal energy is supplied to two solid objects X and Y. The temperature increase of object X is greater than the temperature increase of object Y. Which statement explains this?

Answer 1

Answer:

the statement of thermodynamics will explain this best.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Given:

The same quantity of thermal energy is supplied to two solid objects X and Y. The temperature increase of object X is greater than the temperature increase of object Y.

To find:

Comparison between object X and Y.

Calculation:

Specific Heat Capacity is the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of a unit mass of substance by 1° C.

$\boxed{ \sf{Q = mC\Delta\theta}}$

Q is the heat supplied , m is the mass of substance , C is the specific heat capacity.

Considering constant m and Q , we can say :

$\boxed{ \sf{\Delta\theta \: \propto \: \dfrac{1}{C}}}$

For Object X , the increase in temperature is greater as compared to that of object Y.

So , the specific heat capacity of object X will be less as compared to object Y.

$\boxed{ \sf{C_{X} \: < \: C_{Y}}}$
