IN the old school calorie is used as the unit of heat energy

Now in SI system, joule has taken that place

1cal = 4.18 J

What is the relationship of heat and mechanical energy in terms of units?

You can use the same units (energy units) for both.


If 100 units of electricity produce 20 units of light energy and 30 units of sound energy how many units of heat energy would the remainder of the energy produce?

The total energy input is 100 units. If 20 units are used for light energy and 30 units for sound energy, then the remaining energy would be 100 - 20 - 30 = 50 units. Based on the principle of conservation of energy, this remaining energy would likely be converted mainly into heat energy.


Can heat be measured in Kelvin or centigrade degrees?

No. Those are units of temperature. Heat is measured in units of energy, such as the joule.


What is heat energy measured in?

Heat energy is most commonly measured in units of calories or joules.


What are the units used to measure internal energy and heat?

Heat is also a type of energy, so energy units would be used in both cases. The standard (i.e., international) unit for all sorts of energy is the joule.


Is heat energy measured in units of joules degrees Celsius and in degrees Fahrenheit?

Heat energy is typically measured in joules (J) or calories (cal). Degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit are units of temperature, not energy.


Out of 100 units of electric energy 20 of those units are used to produce light and 30 of those units are used to produce sound if the rest is converted into heat how many units of electric energy?

If 20 units are used for light and 30 units are used for sound, then a total of 50 units are used for those two purposes. This means 50 units are left to be converted into heat. So, the number of units of electric energy converted into heat is 50.


What are the three ways for measureing heat?

Fahrenheit (°F), Celsius (°C), and Kelvin (K)


What is heat typically measured in?

The word "heat" as used in physics refers to heat energy, so it is logically measured in units of energy. The international unit for energy is the joule. Heat energy is sometimes still measured in the old-fashioned unit "calorie" instead.


Heat energy is measured in units of?

In SI, all forms of energy are measured in joules.
