Question

which of the following is matched correctly in the equation $q = mc_p\delta t$? (select all that apply)
\square $q = $heat
\square $c_p = $speed
\square $c_p = $specific heat capacity
\square $\delta t = $change in temperature
\square $q = $mass
\square $m = $mass
\square $\delta t = $change in time

Explanation:

The equation \( q = mC_p\Delta T \) describes heat transfer. Here, \( q \) is heat energy, \( m \) is mass, \( C_p \) is specific heat capacity (heat needed per unit mass to raise temperature by 1°C), and \( \Delta T \) is the change in temperature. Speed and change in time are unrelated to these variables.

Answer:

q = heat, Cp = specific heat capacity, ΔT = change in temperature, m = mass
