this is an equasion for sensible heat, M is mass, delta t is the heat differences..... but C i cant make my head work.. thanks all

The specific heat is a property of the particular material. It is the number that is the answer to the question, "How much energy would it take to raise the temperature of one unit of this material one degree?"

You will have to put more effot then most in then if you want to go well. I failed 3 year 11 math sacs (like exams in class though) and 1 year 12 math sac. Im glad i chose engineering but i do have to put more effot into the maths subjects then most of my friends especaly at the start with assumed knowlage and stuff from previous years. Maths at uni has turend out to be my best subject every semester i have done it so far and the most work i put into it. Depending on the eng trig may not have a huge impact but calculus is extreamly important. If it is just the exams and class work you can handle i might segest putting a huge ammount of work into your assignments if you have any to make exam time as easy as posible. in the workplace you are not under exam conditions so aslong as you can do the work you should be fine. A tip if i study right before an exam or even after about 11 the night before one in the morning i go prity **** sustained study thought the semester rather then rushed in one big brick may be a better way to go with helpign with the not freaking out. but everyone is differnt, I woudnt say dont do eng just becase you are not the best at maths especaly if it is due in part to freaking out in exams. If it is what you want to do just try it you can normaly change to somethign else if you are finding it 2 hard just be willing to put more work in then other class mates and talk to your lectures ethy may even be able to put u in contact with a private tutor that may be of some use

As everyone has said, specific heat.
Usually expressed in units of Joules/gram/degree C or British Thermal Unit (BTU)/lb/degree F
In US units (the old british units) the specific heat of water is 1.0 BTU/lb/deg F because the BTU was defined as the heat to raise a pound of water by 1 degree
In SI units, the specific heat of water is about 4.18 J/gram/degree C or 1 calorie/gram/degree
Most substances have a specific heat lower than water.
Just as the "specific gravity" of a substance is its density related to water =1, so specific heat related the heat capacity of substances to water as a standard.

C represents the specific heat... either in constant volume or constant pressure.
Q = m C Delta T
Q = heat
m = mass
C = specific heat at constant volume or constant pressure
Delta T = change in temperature

hi.
c is specific heat of the substance to which heat is supplied.
