<span>Germanium To determine which melts first, convert their melting temperatures so they're both expressed on same scale. It doesn't matter what scale you use, Kelvin, Celsius, of Fahrenheit. Just as long as it's the same scale for everything. Since we already have one substance expressed in Kelvin and since it's easy to convert from Celsius to Kelvin, I'll use Kelvin. So convert the melting point from Celsius to Kelvin for Gold by adding 273.15 1064 + 273.15 = 1337.15 K So Germanium melts at 1210K and Gold melts at 1337.15K. Germanium has the lower melting point, so it melts first.</span>

The weightlifter's internal store of energy decreased when he lifted the bar.
Mumz [18]

Answer:

The energy returns to the weightlifter's muscles, where it is dissipated as heat.

Explanation:

The energy returns to the weightlifter's muscles, where it is dissipated as heat. As long as the weightlifter controls the weight's descent, their muscles are acting as an overdamped shock absorber, as if the weight were sitting on a piston containing very thick fluid, slowly compressing it downward (and slightly heating up the fluid in the process). Since muscles are complicated biological systems and not simple pistons, they require metabolic energy to maintain tension throughout the controlled descent, so the weightlifter feels like they're putting energy into the weight, even though the weight's gravitational potential energy is being converted into heat within the lifter's muscles.

Electricity is the movement of _____ from one atom to another along a conductor.
prohojiy [21]

The sentence can be completed as follows:

"Electricity is the movement of charges from one atom to another along a conductor."


The movement of the the charges is due to the presence of a potential difference across the conductor, which pushes the charges. More specifically, in normal conductors, the carriers of electricity are the electrons. Therefore we can rewrite the sentence as

"Electricity is the movement of electrons from one atom to another along a conductor."

A person standing a certain distance from four identical loudspeakers is hearing a sound level intensity of 125 dB. What sound l
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

\mathbf{\beta = 123.75 \ dB}

Explanation:

From the question, using the expression:

125 \ dB = 10 \ log (\dfrac{I}{I_o})

where;

I_o = 10^{-12} \ W/m^2

I = 10^{12.5} \times 10^{-12} \ W/m^2

I = 3.162 \ W/m^2

This is a combined intensity of 4 speakers.

Thus, the intensity of 3 speakers = \dfrac{3.162\times 3}{4}

= 2.372 W/m²

Thus;

\beta = 10 \  log ( \dfrac{2.372}{10^{-12}} ) \ W/m^2

\mathbf{\beta = 123.75 \ dB}
