Explanation

• The unit of specific heat capacity is Joules per kilogram per Kelvin (J/(kg·K)) or Joules per kilogram per Celsius (J/(kg·°C))
• It can also be expressed as J⋅kg−1⋅K−1 or J⋅kg−1⋅°C−1. 

Additional information:

• Joules (J): Represents the unit of energy.
• Kilograms (kg): Represent the unit of mass.
• Kelvin (K) or Celsius (°C): Represents the unit of temperature change.
• Therefore, specific heat capacity indicates the amount of energy (in Joules)
• Required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of a substance by one Kelvin (or one degree Celsius).

Explanation

The SI unit of momentum is kg·m/s (or N·s). In brief:

• Definition: Momentum is the product of mass and velocity (p = mv).
• Formula: p = mv
• Vector: has magnitude and direction
• Conservation: constant in closed systems
• No named unit
• Measured in kilograms (kg) and velocity in meters per second (m/s). 
• The dimensional formula of momentum is:[M L T⁻¹]
• Momentum is the product of an object’s mass and its velocity → Momentum = Mass × Velocity.
• It is a vector quantity.

Explanation

• Battery is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy.
• Batteries work by using a galvanic cell.
• It is an electrochemical device made up of two electrodes and an electrolyte solution.

Explanation

• The instrument used to measure temperature is called a thermometer.
• A thermometer shows how hot or cold an object or place is.

Additional information:

• Barometer measures air pressure.
• Hygrometer measures humidity (moisture in air).

Explanation

• The poles experience six months of the day and six months of the night.
• This is since earth is tilted on its axis.
• Also, due to this, each pole is tilted towards and away from the sun for about six months.
• When the North Pole is tilted towards the sun, it has continuous daylight.
