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

What is the number N0 of 99mTc atoms that must be present to have an activity of 15mCi?
svetoff [14.1K]
Base on my research, within 2 hours you have a number of atoms which remain. 
N= N0*2^(-t/6.020 = N= N0*2^-0.33223= 07943 N0

So, the number of atoms that are being disintegrated is N0-N=N0*(1-0.79430)=0.2057 N0

It must be equal to 15 mCi = 15*3.7*10^7= 5.55*10^8 atoms 

N0= 5.55*10*8/0.2057  = 2.698*10^9 atoms

Therefore, 2.698*10^9 atoms is the number of N0

Before using a string in a comparison, you can use either the To Upper method or the To Lower method to convert the string to up
diamong [38]

Answer:

True, check attachment for code

Explanation:

To convert java strings of text to upper or lower case, we can use and inbuilt methods To Uppercase and To lower case.

The first two lines of code will set up a String variable to hold the text "text to change", and then we print it out.

The third line sets of a second String variable called result.

The fourth line is where the conversion is done.

We can compare the string

We can compare one string to another. (When comparing, Java will use the hexadecimal values rather than the letters themselves.) For example, if we wanted to compare the word "Fat" with the word "App" to see which should come first, you can use an inbuilt string method called compareTo.

Which of the following would be considered a source of geothermal energy?
N76 [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magma heats nearby rocks and underground aquifers. Hot water can be released through geysers, hot springs, steam vents, underwater hydrothermal vents, and mud pots. These are all sources of geothermal energy. Their heat can be captured and used directly for heat, or their steam can be used to generate electricity.
