<h2>Answer: C. Kinetic energy</h2>

Explanation:

Heat is energy in transit, in fact it is a transfer of thermal energy from one body to another.  

So, when a metal is heated is because we have two bodies with different temperatures and thermal energy is transferred from one body to another, implying a high speed and kinetic energy in the particles involved (electrons in this case).

This is because the kinetic energy of a particle is that energy it possesses due to its movement, and according to the first principle of thermodynamics, there is a relationship between heat and movement, since the metal is composed of particles that are in motion (to a certain extent).

In this way, with the increase of the temperature of the metal, there is an increase of the kinetic energy of its free electrons with a gain of velocity (movement), therefore a gain in kinetic energy.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

D. Dylan is incorrect because a 90-degree launch angle results in the largest vertical range​

Explanation:

Projectile is the motion of an object thrown into space. When an object is thrown into space, the only force which acts on it is the acceleration due to gravity.

An object thrown into space would reach maximum height (vertical range) if it is launched at an angle of 90 degrees. For maximum horizontal range, the object needs to be launched at an angle of 45 degrees.

Therefore Dylan is incorrect because a 90-degree launch angle results in the largest vertical range​

anzhelika [568]
The atomic number tells you the number of protons in an atom. This value never changes because the number of protons in the nucleus always remains constant. The mass number tells you the number of protons and neutrons (or nucleons) together: protons + neutrons = mass number. Since the number of neutrons in the nucleus varies, you can have different amounts of neutrons in the same type of atom. These varied types are called isotopes.

Hope this helps.
