how much water would 1000 MW/J heat from 18 degrees to 30 degrees?

i am unsure of what formula [is there is one] to use...

so any help would be GREAT!

TIA:smile:

Hint: What's the specific heat of water? (What kind of units are MW/J? Did you mean Joules?)
 
i have the specfic heat of water... and the MW/J was my way of saying mega watts or joules.

the specific heat i have is 4.184 J g–1 K–1

what i can't figure out is how to get the amount of water. and i am not sure of what sort of answer i am going to get, or if the answers i am getting from playing around are correct.

i think i am confusing myself...:rolleyes:

What's the definition of specific heat? Look it up!

Those aren't the same thing, you know. :rolleyes: (Watts = power; Joules = energy.)
 

Thread 'Direction of the magnetic field of an oscillating charge'

Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
