intensive quantity, heat capacity per mass
Specific heat capacity is a measure of how much heat energy is needed to raise the temperature of a material by one degree, expressed per unit of mass. It matters because it tells us how easily different materials heat up or cool down, which is important for practical applications like cooking, heating systems, and understanding how different substances behave thermally.
