∙ 15y agoQ came from the calorist's theories of heat being a quality of matter. Q means quantity. Even though the theory of heat was disproven, the term "calorie" and the symbol q remained.

What equation represents the energy it takes to heat a substance?
Q=mc∆T
What converts chemical energy to thermal energy?
chemical energy in batteries to thermal energy.
The total kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance is called?
The total kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance is called thermal energy. Thermal energy is measured in joules.
Why is chemical energy the energy that is converted to thermal energy?
Various kinds of energy may be converted into thermal energy.In a fire it is chemical energy that is converted to thermal energy.However:In a nuclear reactor, nuclear energy is first converted to thermal energy, and eventually to electrical energy.In a fire chemical energy is also converted to light energy.In a battery chemical energy is converted to electrical energy.In braking systems kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy.
The sum of the kinetic and potential energy of the molecules of a substance?
thermal
What variable represents thermal energy in the equation Q mcT?
Type your answer here... The variable Q
In the equation Q mcΔT c represents .?
The specific heat of the substance being heated.
How do you use Thermal Energy in an equation?
It depends on what equation. You usually plug the value of the thermal energy into the equation. usually in Celsius but in some equations it must first be converted into Kelvin. I recommend you google, or look up the specific equation using wikianswers.
What symbol represents energy in an equation?
I don't think there is one but I'm not sure. I don't think you show energy on a symbol equation.
What equation represents the energy it takes to heat a substance?
Q=mc∆T
What describes the thermal energy of particles in a substance?
the higher the temperature: the more the movement of energy in the particle. the lower the temperature: the less the movement of energy in the particle.
What equation represents power?
Power = (energy dissipated or moved) / (time to move or dissipate it)
What can specific heat be used to measure change in?
Specific heat can be used to measure changes in thermal energy by using the equation: Change in thermal energy = mass x Change in temperature x specific heat
What is the name of the thermal energy that moves from a warmer object to a cooler one?
"Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat".
Which energy increases as temperature increases?
The thermal energy.The thermal energy.The thermal energy.The thermal energy.
What is h called in the equation E he?
In the equation E=he, h represents Planck's constant, which is a fundamental physical constant that relates the energy of a photon to its frequency.
What is the equation for boiling water?
Word equation:Water [at temp 0>100] + (thermal energy) => Water Vapour [at temp 100] + (thermal energy)Symbol equation:H20 (l) + (thermal energy) => H20 (g) + (thermal energy)Thermal energy is placed in brackets because it is not a substance. This is a physical reaction so not chemical bonding has occurred due to there being only one type of molecule and only heat energy.
