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

Easy defimation of newtons second law of motion
shtirl [24]
Hi pupil here's your answer ::

_______________________________

Newton's Second Law  of motion states that the rate of change of momentum of an object is proportional to the applied unbalanced force in the direction of the force.
 ie.,      F=ma

Where F is the force applied, m is the mass of the body, and a, the acceleration produced.

Or in simplest language it is the force applied to a particular object of particular mass multiplied by the acceleration caused by force .

hope that it helps. . . . . .

What are all stars made of
ivolga24 [154]
Stars are huge celestial bodies made mostly of hydrogen and helium that produce light and heat from the churning nuclear forges inside their cores. Aside from our sun, the dots of light we see in the sky are all light-years from Earth. They are the building blocks of galaxies, of which there are billions in the universe. It’s impossible to know how many stars exist, but astronomers estimate that in our Milky Way galaxy alone, there are about 300 billion.
