Heat energy Q = mass of substance m X SHC of substance C X change in temperature ΔT Q = 10kg X 4200Jkg^-1⁰C^-1 X (27-22)⁰C Q = 10kg X 4200Jkg^-1⁰C^-1 X 5⁰C Q=210,000J = 210kJ 210 kilojoules of energy is r...

F=ma, so a=F/m giving a=2.4m/s^2. When t=9s, v=at, so v=21.6m/s. Friction force is Ff = μF(normal), which is Ff = μmg, so Ff = 6670.8N (if g = 9.81m/s^2). Frictional force always acts against the directio...

The resistance in the wire is given by the resistivity of the material by the lenght and divided by the cross-sectional area (R = pL/A). From here we can rearrange and have p = RA/L. However, we ...

The temperature of a body of mass m and specific heat capacity c rises by change in temperature (delta)T when an amount of heat Q is added to it (Q = mc(delta)T). From the equation we see that th...

In quantum and particle physics, quantities such as energy and momentum are extremely small and so it is logical to have a standard unit of energies at this scale. It saves time to write 1eV, as opposed t...
