If you noticed a change in temperature of a pipe carrying water but also know that it hadn't changed state, you would know the change in temperature was? A. Sensible heat B. Specific heat C. Latent heat D. Radiated heat
The correct answer is A. Sensible heat.
Sensible heat refers to the heat that causes a change in temperature of a substance without changing its state (phase). In this case, since the water in the pipe has not changed state (remains liquid), the change in temperature is due to sensible heat.
