Quantity of Heat = Mass x Heat Capacity x Temperature Change
This may be shortened to:
q = mcΔT
where:
q = Quantity of heat in Joules (J) m = Mass of the substance in grams (g) c = Specific Heat Capacity (Jg-1) ΔT = Change in Temperature (Δ = This symbol is "delta", which is Greek for "change")
Answer: What are these for?
Explanation:
The Sun is a main-sequence star, and thus generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium. In its core, the Sun fuses 620 million metric tons of hydrogen each second. The nuclear binding energy curve.
