Specific heat capacity
Specific heat capacity
✓
Answer
1. The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of an object by $1^{\circ} C$ is called the specific heat or specific heat capacity of that object.
2. SI unit of specific heat capacity is $J / kg { }^{\circ} C$ and CGS unit is $cal / g { }^{\circ} C$
3. It is denoted by ' $c$ ' and given by formula: $c=\frac{Q}{m \Delta T}$
4. Specific heat is a property of a substance and is different for different substances.
5. Higher the value of specific heat capacity of the substance, higher is the amount of heat energy required to raise its temperature by $1^{\circ} C$.
6. The specific heat capacity of object is measured using principle of heat exchange.

There are two similar glands P which are located on top of two similar organs Q in the human body. P are often called the emergency glands and they secrete a hormone R into the blood stream. R is secreted in large amounts when a person is frightened. It brings about temporary changes in the body which allow a lot of substance S from the liver to go into the blood to provide a lot of energy in a very short time. This helps a person to fight back or run away from the frightening situation.

What are P, Q, R and S?
Name the following diagram and explain the concept behind them.
In the surgical method of birth control available for human females, the structures P in the reproductive system are cut and ligated (tied up) properly at both ends. This prevents the reproductive cell Q released by an organ R from entering the structures P so that Q is not available to fuse with another reproductive cell S coming from the male reproductive system. In this way, pregnancy is prevented.
