Answer: The heat energy absorbed by the glass window is 84420 J.
Explanation:
Given: Mass = 15.0 kg (1 kg = 1000 g) = 15000 g
Specific heat capacity = [tex]0.840^{o}C[/tex]
Initial temperature = [tex]20^{o}C[/tex]
Final temperature = [tex]26.7^{o}C[/tex]
Formula used to calculate heat energy is as follows.
[tex]q = m \times C \times (T_{2} - T_{1})[/tex]
where,
q = heat energy
m = mass of substance
C = specific heat capacity
[tex]T_{1}[/tex] = initial temperature
[tex]T_{2}[/tex] = final temperature
Substitute the values into above formula as follows.
[tex]q = m \times C \times (T_{2} - T_{1})\\= 15000 g \times 0.840J/g^{o}C \times (26.7 - 20.0)^{o}C\\= 84420 J[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that heat energy absorbed by the glass window is 84420J.
