thank you sooo much!

oh my goodness :( I am still very confused.

okay, so to increase to 1 C eg. for steak...it requires 3500 J /(kgC) of energy? so to reach 260 C ? would I multiply c by 260 ?

since specific heat is the amount of energy required for 1 kg to reach 1C so e.g. for Steak c: 3500 J /(kgC) = the energy required to get to 1C so to get to 260 C it would require the steak 910000 J/(kgC) ?? am i going in the right direction?

the specific heat is the amount of energy required for 1kg to reach 1 C thermal conductivity is rate of heat conduction?

the oven has a fixed temperature so if its in thermal equilibrium with the other objects, the objects would have to increase their temperatures to get in thermal equilibrium with the oven. the other objects would have a limit to the highest temperature... if it gets too high wood will burn /...

the object would reach the same temperature as the oven and reaching thermal equilibrium means that it wouldn't lose or gain energy (heat)? but the temperature of each object should vary because of c shouldn't it? I'm not sure about this one. This is what is confusing me

Also by dividing c by k c: J/kg*C k: J/s*m*C c/k = J/kg*C x s*m*C/J = s*m/kg but I'm not sure what this means / if it's related to the question :( :(

Well when 2 objects are in thermal equilibrium, no energy flows from one to the other. So for part 1, do i not have to consider thermal conductivity to arrange the objects? If so, would the arrangement be (from largest to smallest) Steak c: 3500 J /(kgC) k: 0.2 J /(smC) Wood c...

Hi :) I'm having difficulty with finding the relationship between specific heat, c, and thermal conductivity, k and cannot answer these questions - Six objects are placed in a 500 F (260 C) oven and allowed to reach thermal equilibrium. Each object has a mass of 1.0 kg . The specific heat and...
