The definition of the heat of a substance is based on the average kinetic energy of it's particles.\n\nEssentialy, heat *is* average kinetic energy.

In physics, heat is defined as energy in transit.Generally, heat is a form of energy associated with the motion of atoms, molecules and other particles which comprise matter. Heat can be created by chemical reactions (such as burning), nuclear reactions (such as fusion taking place inside the Sun), electromagnetic dissipation (as in electric stoves), or mechanical dissipation (such as friction). Heat can be transferred between objects by radiation, conduction and convection. Temperature, defined as the measure of an object to spontaneously give up energy, is used to indicate the level of elementary motion associated with heat. Heat can only be transferred between objects, or areas within an object, with different temperatures, and then only in the direction of the colder body.\n\n\nfor elaborate details refer to the link below:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat

Now, this answer depends on what you mean by Heat.  Strictly speaking Heat (symbol 'Q')is the energy transferred from one part of a substance to another, or from one object to another due to a change in temperature.  To give you an example, if you heat a spoon on a flame and then insert it in a glass of water, the latter will warm up since Heat moves from the hot spoon to the cooler water.  Heat is a measure of energy and so its units are Joules (J).  The amount of Heat energy transferred is calculated by the formula Q=mcdT (mass x specific heat capacity x change in temperature)\n\nNow, if you are still studying basic Physics, you might come across definitions of Heat which state that it is the Energy driving the vibrations and movement of molecules.  In further Physics this will be called "Internal Energy", symbol 'U'.  In fact, the internal energy of a body can either be changed by giving or taking Heat (with a temperature difference) and/or by doing Work (that is why if you rub your hands together they warm up, despite being at the same temperature).\n\nTemperature is a measure of the degree of hotness of an object (not a measure of the amount of Heat in it!).  So, if an object has a temperature of 0 degree Celsius, this means that this object is as "hot" as pure melting ice.  In the same manner, a stone at a temperature of 100*C is as "hot" as steam above boiling water, and so on.  So, temperature is really a comparison.  There is an Absolute Temperature Scale devised by Kelvin in 1848, who found out that the lowest possible temperature is -273*C.  At this temperature all molecular movement is thought to stop and therefore there cannot exist a place colder than a place where there is no Internal Energy, and hence no heat!  Therefore this temperature is called Absolute Zero, and a temperature scale starting from this point, 0 K(elvin) (=-273*C), was set up. (e.g. 10*C = 10 + 273 = 283K).

There is a formula...but this is much easier\n\nhttp://www.onlineconversion.com/temperature.htm

Easier compared to one with a higher heat capacity:\n\nH/(m*Cp) = (delta T), where m is the mass of the object, H is the heat that must be added (or removed) to raise (or lower) its temperature, delta T is its change in temperature, and Cp is its heat capacity. From the above formula, you can see that larger values of Cp result in small temp. changes, for the same heat amount.

Thermal energy is heat that comes in 3 forms: conduction, convection, and radiation.  Conduction is when you are cooking on a stove and the heat passes through the metal in the burner and into the pan.  Convection is when air passes over a warm surface and rises or moves because of the increase in energy and takes the thermal energy with it.  Radiation is how the Sun brings energy to the Earth and other planets.  Thermal energy is measured in Joules (J for short) or British Thermal Units (BTUs).  The transfer of heat is measured in Joules per second, or watts, and BTU/hour.\n\nIts use is almost every aspect of our lives, from your body keeping itself warm to cooking to keeping your house warm to chemical reactions that generate heat.  If you want to study thermal energy, you might major in Mechanical Engineering or Physics in college.  I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Q = m.s.ΔT\nHeat loss by the copper = heat gained by the metal.\nCopper (heat loss) = 200.0g x 0.38J/g.ºC x (195.5ºC-228.4ºC) = -2500.4J\ndivide the heat by the mass and ΔT of the metal to get the specific heat of the metal:\n2500.4J/(65.0g x (195.5ºC-18.3ºC)) = 0.2171 = 0.21 J/g.ºC (correct SF)

Get an electrical heating element, a DC power supply, a thermometer, a voltmeter and an ammeter.\nPass electricity through the heating element, dipped into a measured volume of water (or salt water) in an insulated cup, and measure the current, the voltage and the time taken. This will give you the heat energy supplied. Measure the temperature rise, and work out how much energy would be required to raise 1g of water (or salt water) by 1 degree Celcius. The answer should be close to 4.2!
