You know what, you just answered all ,y questions. Thank you so much. I am relieved to finally understand heat capacity. Thanks once again to you and all the rest who helped me understanding. Have a beautiful week ahead!

If you look at post #3 made by hmmm27 you can see why I was confused, since he talked about the surface (while my original example was the palm of your hands). I have one last question regarding heat capacity then. If, let's say, a rod (don't matter what it is made out of) has a heat capacity at...

And just to be completely sure. "requires fewer Joules of energy for its temperature to rise by one degree." are you here talking about ONLY the surface of the pot or the whole pot? Just to be sure if heat capacity is talking only about the surface area of an object or the whole object.

So, to be 100% clear. Heat Capacity (not specific heat capacity) is the amount of energy (if we measure it in Joule) that is needed to raise the temperature of an object (where object is ANYTHING THAT CAN BE COLDER OR MORE HOT) by 1 degree celsius. Is this ONLY the surface area that we are...

My textbook just says the opposite. That the surface (the flesh) of the hand has a lower heat capacity than the metal rod.

Hello again! As Orodruin said. "dens" is just a word used to refer to what is being said. "dens" is referring to THE HAND(s). I was under the impression that heat capacity is how much joule is needed to make the surface (or the whole) of the hand hot. So it would take fewer joule to make your...

Pretty sure everything I wrote is correctly translated. Only "tilført varmeenergi" I could not find a good English translation, so I went with "added heat energy".

Here you go. Here are the pictures requested. If you read from 4.4. (heat capacity), you can see it is written. I think there are some online softwares which can analyse text on pictures if you want it translated :)

Sure. This is a Danish textbook published by my own professor at DTU which is the university I study at. I used my best English abilities to translate the paragraph for you. Give me 2 min and you will receive the pictures you asked for :-)

Do you mean "the metal rod will heat up MUCH MORE SLOW compared to the palm of your hands"? And should heat capacity be understood as the amount of energy it takes to heat a surface of an object up/ down by one degree celsius or the amount of energy it takes to heat THE WHOLE object up/ down by...

That's just not what textbook says. My textbook says "If the friction heat is applied to a metal rod instead of the skin of your palms (hands) than that rod will not be as heated. We are hear talking about the palms of the hands having a much smaller heat capacity compared to the metal rod"...

Homework Statement:: First of, this is not a "homework" per say, since this is not in my curriculum. If you still want to help, see the description :) Relevant Equations:: C = Q/(delta T), where delta T is the raise in temperature in Kelvin and Q is the added heat energy I want to learn about...
