5 0

Answer: B

Explanation:

It's not the time it took to heat the substance, so that rules out A and C.

This means that we only have to choose between

B. the area of contact

D. the area of the substances

(since everything else in each of those answers are the same)

Area of contact matters more (e.g. an object with greater surface area is exposed to the air more, will lose/gain heat quicker than an object with less surface area).

a small table has a mass of 4kg, stands on four legs, each leg having an area of 0.001 m2. what is the pressure exerted by the t

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

P = 10 kPa

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a small table, m = 4 kg

The area of each leg = 0.001 m²

We need to find the pressure exerted by the table on the floor. Pressure is equal to the force per unit area. So

$P=\dfrac{mg}{4\times A}\\\\P=\dfrac{4\times 10}{4\times 0.001}\\P=10000\ Pa\\\\or\\\\P=10\ kPa$

So, the required pressure is 10 kPa.

An object is dropped from rest from a 70.6 m tower. Air resistance is negligible. After 0.32 seconds, what is magnitude and dire

dem82 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the following

Distance S = 70.6m

Time t = 0.32secs

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Required

Acceleration

Using the equation of motion

S = ut+1/2at²

Substitute

70.6 = 0+1/2a(0.32)²

70.6 = 0.0512a

a = 70.6/0.0512

a = 1,378.9

<em>Hence the acceleration is 1,378.9ms²</em>

Why is the density of iron higher than the density of oxygen?

pentagon [3]

Answer:

Density of iron is higher than the density of oxygen because iron is solid and the particles in it are very compact but oxygen is not dense as it is gas and particles in it are loosely packed.
