Q=wc(T1-T2) find c
Can you help me find out how to do this problem PLEASE !! TY
c = Q / [ w(T1-T2) ]
Of course! I'd be happy to help you with this problem.
The equation you provided is a formula that relates the heat transfer (Q) between two objects with different temperatures (T1 and T2), the specific heat capacity of the material (c), and the mass of the material (w).
To solve for c, we can rearrange the formula as follows:
Q = wc(T1 - T2)
Divide both sides of the equation by w:
Q/w = c(T1 - T2)
Now, divide both sides of the equation by (T1 - T2):
(Q/w) / (T1 - T2) = c
Therefore, to find c, you'll need to know the values of Q (heat transfer) and w (mass of the material), as well as the temperatures T1 and T2.
Plug in these values into the equation, perform the calculation, and you will have your answer for c.
