What is unit for speed if the time is measured in hours and the distance is measured in miles?
You can use ANY unit of speed - but the logical unit of speed in this case would be the one you obtain by dividing the specific unit of length by the specific unit of time, so in this case, miles per hour.
Explain how the specific heat of a substance is determined?
specific heat is the amount of heat to be absorbed required to raise a substance 1 degree celsius. And by heat being absorbed, i mean energy, because specific heat is measured in joules
The joule per kilogram-kelvin is the SI unit for what?
specific heat.
What are the units specikfic heat is commonly expressed in?
Specific heat capacity is the heat capacity per unit mass, and is expressed as
What unit is used to measure heat intensity?
Heat intensity (how Hot is it) is measured by the objects Temperature in Degrees, Fahrenheit, Centigrade, or Kelvin. Heat content (energy) is most commonly measured in Calories.
What unit is specific latent heat measured in?
The unit for specific latent heat is J Kg-1(Joules per Kilogram)
Correct units to determine specific heat?
Specific heat is the heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass by one degree. It is measured by joules.
Is heat energy measured in units of joules degrees Celsius and in degrees Fahrenheit?
Heat is measured in unit of what...
What is a valid unit for specific heat?
Joule/kilogram-kelvin The SI unit is joules / kelvin. This is valid for an object of any size, but if you want the typical specific heat for a certain type of material, you have to standardize it, resulting in either joules / (kelvin x kilogram) or joules / (kelvin x mole).
Can heat be measured in degrees Fahrenheit?
No, Fahrenheit is the Imperial Unit for temperature, not heat. Heat is energy in transit and is measured in joules (in the SI sytem).
What is heat measured of?
Enthalpy is the measurement of heat, Joule (J) is the unit. Temperature is not a measurement of heat. Temperature has the unit Kelvin (K) or Celsius (oC)
What variable represent specific heat?
The unit for the specific heat capacity is J/kg.K.
What is relation between heat capacity and specific heat capacity?
The "specific heat capacity" is simply the heat capacity per unit - it might be per mass unit, per volume unit, or per amount of moles.
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.
What is unit for measuring the quantity of heat?
measured in Calories, Btu, Joules, ...
What is unit for speed if the time is measured in hours and the distance is measured in miles?
You can use ANY unit of speed - but the logical unit of speed in this case would be the one you obtain by dividing the specific unit of length by the specific unit of time, so in this case, miles per hour.
What is si unit and metric unit of specific heat capacity?
"SI unit" and "metric unit" basically means the same. The only metric system used nowadays is the SI. For a specific object, the heat capacity is measured in J/K. To compare different materials, it is of interest to specify the heat capacity PER KILOGRAM, so the units are J / (K times kg). It is also possible to specify heat capacity in J / (K times mole). This would also be SI units.
