Is heat transfer a scalar quantity or vector quantity?
A vector
Is heat capacity a vector or a scalar?
Vector
Is temperature vector or scalar?
Temperature is a scalar quantity. It has magnitude but not direction.
Is Heat a vector or a scalar quantity?
A vector
Is weight scalar or vector quantity?
scalar, produced by the scalar product of two vector quantities ... Force · Distance
Is heat a scalar or vector?
Heat is energy. It and temperature are both scalars.
How is specific heat of a substance different from the heat capacity?
Imagine 1 kg of water. This has a heat capacity. Now if you have 1000kg of water the heat capacity is obviously greater. The Specific Heat Capacity is a material constant. It specifies a set quantity. For water it is 4.184 kiloJoules per kilogram per Kelvin.
What is thermal capacity?
The physical quantity which is used to measure the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a given substance is known as heat capacity or thermal capacity. Its S.I. unit is J/K.
Heat flows from hot body to cold body then why you call heat as scalar?
A scalar quantity has no direction, you cannot talk of north heat, or left heat, or upward heat - they are meaningless. The fact that heat travels in one general direction does not imply a single definite direction - think of a crowd moving along a street - although the crowd may be moving in one direction, the individuals could be moving in any direction within the crowd.
A form of energy due molecular motion?
"Vector energy" is pseudoscientific nonsense. Technically, the energy of motion is kinetic energy. However, if the motions are random (the molecules are all just jiggling around any which way, as opposed to all moving in the same direction) then this is experienced overall as heat (thermal energy).
The amount of kinetic energy in a substance is called?
Vector Energy, mcV, it is not a scalar energy. The total energy is the sum of the scalar potential energy and the vector energy of motion. This combination is called Quaternion energy, E = -e1e2zc/2r + mcV.
What are BTU for ac?
The BTU (British Thermal Unit) is a quantity of heat. An air conditioner has the capacity to move a certain amount of heat from the inside of your house to the outside, and that can be measured in BTUs.
