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

If an air parcel is given a small push upward and it falls back to its original position, the atmosphere is said to be__________

nydimaria [60]

If an air parcel is given a small push upward and it falls back to its original position, the atmosphere is said to be Stable.

A Stable atmospheric condition is a state where a body thrown like an parcel tends to return to its original position where it was present earlier even after being disturbed externally.

Stable conditions tends to oppose the forces that lead to the displacement of the object from original position.

When a parcel is given a small push upward and it falls back to its original position in air. This shows Stability in the atmosphere which bring back the sir parcel where it was present initially.

A body under the action of gravity in case of stable equilibrium conditions shows returning back of the body after sometime on reaching a certain height.

What is the meaning of the saying "the power of a lens is 1 dioptre "

timama [110]

Answer: 1 dioptre of power of a lens is defined as the unit of measuring the power of optical lens Or curved mirror which is equal to the reciprocal of the focal length. The focal length is measured in the meter. 1 dioptre is equal to 1/m where m is the focal length. Basically dioptre is the SI unit of optical power of the lens.
