Answer
Three factors on which the heat energy absorbed by a body depends are:
- Mass of the body — Heat energy absorbed by a body is directly proportional to the mass of the body i.e., Q ∝ m.
- Increase in temperature of the body — Heat energy absorbed is directly proportional to the rise in temperature i.e., Q ∝ △t.
- The material of the body — Heat energy absorbed by a body depends on the substance of the object which is expressed in terms of it's specific heat capacity c i.e., Q ∝ c.
