Can someone explain the equation Q = M C delta T or Q = MCΔT Thanks!

Q = heat energy , m=mass , c=specific heat , delta T= change in temperature

as you know heat is a form of energy which is usually measured in Joules according to the SI. and also we usually use kilograms for mass.

so you need to know the mass, specific heat, and change in temperature in order to find out the heat energy :)

Q is the quantity of heat energy used to change the temperature of specific mass of certain matter
M is the mass of matter u wanna to change its temperature
C is the specific heat, each substance has its own "C" as specific heat is the quantity of heat to change mass of 1 kg by 1 kalvin deg.
ΔT is the the difference in temp. from and to how much u wanna to change the temp. of your matter
so if u wanna to change 1L water (for example) which = to 1kg
u wanna to increase its temp. by 2 degrees
and the "c" is ≈ 4200 then
the quantity of energy u need to do that is = MCΔT = 1*4200*2 = 8400

Place the items in order from the largest wavelength to the shortest wavelength.

Butoxors [25]

From largest to shortest wavelength:

Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared radiation, Red visible, Orange visible, Yellow visible, Green visible, Blue visible, Violet visible, Ultraviolet, X-rays, Gamma rays

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.

Electromagnetic waves are the only type of waves able to travel in a vacuum, and in a vacuum they always at the same speed, the speed of light, equal to:

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, according to their wavelength/frequency. From slongest to shortest wavelength, they are ranked as follows:

Radio waves

Microwaves

Infrared radiation

Visible light

Ultraviolet

X-rays

Gamma rays

Visible light is the only part of the spectrum that the human eye is able to see. Depending on the wavelength of the visible light, we perceive the radiation as a different color. In order from longest to shortest wavelength, colors are:

Red

Orange

Yellow

Green

Blue

Indigo

Violet

Therefore, the correct order from largest to shortest wavelength in the given list is:

Radio waves

Microwaves

Infrared radiation

Red visible

Orange visible

Yellow visible

Green visible

Blue visible

Violet visible

Ultraviolet

X-rays

Gamma rays

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

V = 10.88 m/s

Explanation:

V_i =initial velocity = 0m/s

a= acceleration= gsinθ- $\mu_k$ cosθ

putting values we get

a= 9.8sin25-0.2cos25= 2.4 m/s^2

v_f= final velocity and d= displacement along the inclined plane = 10.4 m

using the equation

$v^2_f=v^2_i-2as$

$v^2_f=0^2-2(2.4)(10.4)$

v_f= 7.04 m/s

let the speed just before she lands be "V"

using conservation of energy

KE + PE at the edge of cliff = KE at bottom of cliff

(0.5) m V_f^2 + mgh = (0.5) m V^2

V^2 = V_f^2 + 2gh

V^2 = 7.04^2 + 2 x 9.8 x 3.5

V = 10.88 m/s
