Specific Heat Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Heat = Heat*Mass*Temperature Change
c = Q*m*ΔT
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Heat - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram per K) - The Specific Heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius.
Heat - (Measured in Joule) - Heat is the form of energy that is transferred between systems or objects with different temperatures (flowing from the high-temperature system to the low-temperature system).
Mass - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass is the quantity of matter in a body regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it.
Temperature Change - (Measured in Kelvin) - Temperature Change is a process whereby the degree of hotness of a body (or medium) changes.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Heat: 570 Joule --> 570 Joule No Conversion Required
Mass: 35.45 Kilogram --> 35.45 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Temperature Change: 21 Kelvin --> 21 Kelvin No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

c = Q*m*ΔT --> 570*35.45*21

Evaluating ... ...

c = 424336.5

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

424336.5 Joule per Kilogram per K --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

424336.5 Joule per Kilogram per K <-- Specific Heat
