What is the difference between heat transfer and work transfer?
Okay, that makes sense. Is there any formula that can help calculate the amount of energy transferred through these methods?
Yes, for heat transfer there is the equation Q = mcΔT, where Q is the amount of thermal energy transferred, m is the mass of the object, c is the specific heat capacity of the material, and ΔT is the change in temperature. For work transfer, the equation is W = Fd, where W is the mechanical work done, F is the force applied, and d is the distance covered.
