Calculate the change in thermal energy when 2kg of water is heated from 20°C to 80°C.​

504000 J

Explanation:

Applying,

Δq = cm(Δt) Equation 1

Where Δq = change in thermal energy, c = specific heat capacity of water,  m = mass of water, Δt = change in temperature.

From the question,

Given: m = 2 kg, Δt = 80-20 = 60°C

Constant; c = 4200 J/kg.°C

Substitute these values into equation 1

Δq = 2(4200)(60)

Δq = 504000 J

Hence the thermal energy is  504000 J

hurricanes form when warm, moist air from the ocean surface quickly rises into the atmosphere and forms storm clouds and rain. when the clouds are formed, heat is released which warms the cool air in the upper regions of the atmosphere so that the cycle can continue. which two phases of the water cycle are repeated in this process?
