Heat Energy Equations Explained
Now let’s learn about each component of the equation
1. Heat: The amount of heat in joules
2. Mass: How heavy the object is (how many grams)
The heavier the object, the more energy will be needed to heat it.
3. Specific heat capacity: How much heat is needed to raise the temperature
of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius.
4.Change in temperature: High temperature minus low temperature
