Question

What are three variables that affect the amount of increase in temperature when heat energy is added to an object?

Answer 1

ANSWER:

The change in temperature, the mass of the system, and phase of the substance.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We know that heat energy can be calculated using the following formula:

$Q=m\cdot C\cdot\Delta T$

Where m is the mass, C is the specific heat and the temperature difference.

Therefore, the three variables would be the change in temperature, the mass of the system, and the substance and phase of the substance.
