Answer: The specific heat of the unknown metal is 
Explanation:
The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.
Q = Heat absorbed=
Joules
m= mass of substance = 86.8 g
c = specific heat capacity = ?
Initial temperature of the water = 
Final temperature of the water = 
Change in temperature ,
Putting in the values, we get:
The specific heat of the unknown metal is
Answer:
you tilt the cylinder at a slight angle so that the metal slides down the sides, rather than drops all it`s weight to the bottom
Answer:
Lowering the object near the ground decreases its <u>potential energy.</u>
<u></u>
Explanation:
Potential Energy : Energy possessed by the object due to its shape ,Size and Position is called potential energy.
Example :
Change in shape and size : When you compress the spring , potential energy is introduced in it . So it expand quickly when you remove your hand.
Change in position : when you swing , after attaining maximum height (extreme ends) , the swing comes back on its on .This is because at maximum height ,the swing has<u> maximum Potential energy . </u>Hence it fall back on its on because it already has potential energy.
Potential energy(P) is given by the formula :
P = mgh
where ,
m= mass of the object
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height of the object from the ground
If the height of the object increases from the ground , its potential energy also get increase.
<u><em>On lowering the object The height of the object from the ground reduces . So potential energy also reduces.</em></u>
The correct answer is "B. Make a Hypothesis".
Answer: $46.98
Explanation:
The distance to drive to Los Angeles from San Francisco is 405 miles. Since the car get 25 miles per gallon of gas, for 405 miles, the car will use:
= 405/25 = 16.2 gallons
Since the cost of gasoline is $2.90 a gallon and the car will use 16.2 gallons. The cost will be:
= $2.90 × 16.2 gallons
= $46.98
