    Change Temperature
Click For Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the change in temperature using parameters such as force, velocity, specific heat, and mass. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the context and specifics of the problem, as the relationships between these parameters depend on the system being analyzed. One contributor references Joule's work on the mechanical equivalent of heat, suggesting a connection between work done and heating effects. Another participant criticizes the vague approach to the problem, highlighting that details about the parameters are crucial for accurate calculations. Ultimately, the conversation underscores the necessity of providing a clear problem statement to derive meaningful conclusions.

Hallo Friends,

I have a parameters force,velocity, specific heat, & mass. Is there any relation to calcullate change in temperature using above parameters??

Hi and welcome

Your question is a bit too 'open' for a specific answer but, amongst those quantities, you have the possibility of knowing the mechanical Work done and working out the resulting Heating Effect. It sounds very much like Joule's original work on 'The Mechanical Equivalent of Heat'. We don't actually use that term nowadays but the figure 4.2J/cal still applies.
 
As stated above, you're most likely looking for the Work / Heat relationship.

Hi, kaushik939

This is a really (really) bad way of "doing" physics. I suppose you picked up all the parameters from a given problem, thinking that the description o what is it all about is irrelevant. But the description of the system and phenomena is the most important think or understanding and solving the problem. The relationship between the parameters will esentially depend on what is going on.
You did not even specify velocity of what, heat capacity of what else, etc.
Are these parameters of the same object?
Think about it, it may be the velocity of the moon, the specific heat capacity of water, mass of your laptop, etc. Can you calculate the change in the temperature of a medium size coffee cup in 2 minutes from this data? This is maybe a quite extreme example, but I hope you understand that the details matter.

So to cut it short, can you write down the actual problem?
 
Thread 'Can somebody explain this: Planck's Law in action'
Plotted is the Irradiance over Wavelength. Please check for logarithmic scaling. As you can see, there are 4 curves. Blue AM 0 as measured yellow Planck for 5777 K green Planck for, 5777 K after free space expansion red Planck for 1.000.000 K To me the idea of a gamma-Ray-source on earth, below the magnetic field, which protects life on earth from solar radiation, in an intensity, which is way way way outer hand, makes no sense to me. If they really get these high temperatures realized in...
