Heat Capacity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Heat Capacity = Mass*Specific Heat Capacity*Change in Temperature
C = Mass_{flight path}*c*∆T
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Heat Capacity - (Measured in Joule per Kelvin) - The Heat Capacity is a physical property of matter, defined as the amount of heat to be supplied to a given mass of a material to produce a unit change in its temperature.
Mass - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass is the quantity of matter in a body regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it.
Specific Heat Capacity - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram per K) - Specific Heat Capacity is the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount.
Change in Temperature - (Measured in Kelvin) - The Change in Temperature refers to the difference between the initial and final temperature.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mass: 35.45 Kilogram --> 35.45 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Specific Heat Capacity: 4.184 Kilojoule per Kilogram per K --> 4184 Joule per Kilogram per K (Check conversion here)
Change in Temperature: 50 Kelvin --> 50 Kelvin No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C = Mass_{flight path}*c*∆T --> 35.45*4184*50

What is the statement of Equipartition Theorem?

The original concept of equipartition was that the total kinetic energy of a system is shared equally among all of its independent parts, on the average, once the system has reached thermal equilibrium. Equipartition also makes quantitative predictions for these energies. The key point is that the kinetic energy is quadratic in the velocity. The equipartition theorem shows that in thermal equilibrium, any degree of freedom (such as a component of the position or velocity of a particle) which appears only quadratically in the energy has an average energy of 1⁄2kBT and therefore contributes 1⁄2kB to the system's heat capacity.
