Q = heat energy , m=mass , c=specific heat , delta T= change in temperature

as you know heat is a form of energy which is <em>usually</em> measured in Joules according to the SI. and also we usually use kilograms for mass.

so you need to know the mass, specific heat, and change in temperature in order to find out the heat energy :)

Q is the quantity of heat energy used to change the temperature of specific mass of certain matter
M is the mass of matter u wanna to change its temperature
C is the specific heat, each substance has its own "C" as specific heat is the quantity of heat to change mass of 1 kg by 1 kalvin deg.
ΔT is the the difference in temp. from and to how much u wanna to change the temp. of your matter 
so if u wanna to change 1L water (for example) which = to 1kg
u wanna to increase its temp. by 2 degrees 
and the "c" is ≈ 4200 then 
the quantity of energy u need to do that is = MCΔT = 1*4200*2 = 8400

A ball of mass m, attached to the end of a horizontal cord, is rotated in a circle of radius r on a frictionless horizontal surf
kirza4 [7]

Answer:v=\sqrt{\frac{FL}{m}}

Explanation:

Given

Ball of mass m

maximum Bearable Tension in string is F

Let length of the cord be L m and moving at a speed of v m/s

Here Tension will Provide Centripetal Force

T=Centripetal Force

F=T=\frac{mv^2}{L}

v=\sqrt{\frac{FL}{m}}

Bill is farsighted and has a near point located 121 cm from his eyes. Anne is also farsighted, but her near point is 74.0 cm fro
Arada [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The lens equation is

1 / f = 1 / di + 1 / do

Where

f is focal length

di is the image distance

do is the object distance

Both Annie and Billy use a glass whose near point is 25cm

Then, the object distance is

do = 25 - 2 = 23cm

The have the same object distance.

Let find the vocal length of bills eye

Given that,

Bill near point is 121cm and distance of the glass from the eye is 2cm

Then,

Image distance of bill is

di_B = -(121-2) = -119cm

object distance do = 23cm

Then,

1 / f_B = 1 / di_B + 1 / do

1 / f_B = -1 / 119 + 1 / 23

1 / f_B = -119^-1 + 23^-1

1 / f_B = 0.0351

Then, f_B = 28.51 cm

Also, let find Annie focal length

Given that,

Annie near point is 74 cm and distance of the glass from the eye is 2cm

Then,

Image distance of Annie is

di_A = -(74-2) = -72cm

object distance do = 23cm

Then,

1 / f_A = 1 / di_A + 1 / do

1 / f_A = -1 / 72 + 1 / 23

1 / f_A = -72^-1 + 23^-1

1 / f_A = 0.02959

Then, f_A = 33.8 cm

Distance of object from the lens when Annie uses Billy glass

Then,

1 / f_B = 1 / di_A + 1 / do

1 / 28.51 = -1 / 72 + 1 / do

28.51^-1 = -72^-1 + do^-1

do^-1 = 28.51^-1 + 72^-1

do^-1 = 0.048964

do = 20.42 cm

Then, the object location from the eye will be, the eye is 2cm from the glass. Then,

do_A = 20.42 + 2 = 22.42cm

do_A = 22.42 cm

Distance of object from the lens when Billy uses Annie glass

Then,

1 / f_A = 1 / di_B + 1 / do

1 / 33.8 = -1 / 119 + 1 / do

33.8^-1 = -119^-1 + do^-1

do^-1 = 33.8^-1 + 119^-1

do^-1 = 0.03799

do = 26.32 cm

Then, the object location from the eye will be, the eye is 2cm from the glass. Then,

do_B = 26.32 + 2 = 28.32 cm

do_B = 28.32 cm

A man with a weight of 100 N is located
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Given,

  mass of man = 100 N = 10 kg

   height = h = 25m

   since the man does not move anything with his force, work done by him is zero

   work done on the man = gain in potential energy

   P.E=mgh

   P.E=10×9.8×25

  P.E=2.45KJ

Explanation:

so, potential energy gained by man is 2.45 KJ
