Answer:

The answer is the roller coaster (A)

Explanation:

Potential energy depends on the height Ep= m*g*h. The more height the system has, more potential energy it owns. Meanwhile it starts to move, the energy transforms from potential (it's going down) to kinetic (it's gaining speed)

Ek = 1/2 * m * v^2

When the roller coaster reaches the ground, all the potential energy has turned into kinetic energy. As it starts going up again, once more the kinetic energy starts to transform into potential energy, due to the system is stoping and gaining height again.

Specific Heat Material Copper Aluminum Gold Pyrex Specific Heat (J/g °C) 0.385 0.902 0.129 0.75 Material Water Ice Olive Oil Air

zimovet [89]

Explanation:

It is known that the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by $1^{o}C$ is known as specific heat.

Since, q = $mC \Delta T$

So, larger is the specific heat of a substance less will be the change in its temperature.

Therefore, olive oil has less specific heat as compared to water. This means that olive oil would get hotter.

Similarly, the specific heat of gold is lesser than the given materials or metals. Hence, gold will requires less heat to rise its temperature.

As a result, water present in gold will heat readily.

As the relation between heat and specific heat is as follows.

q = $mC \Delta T$

Therefore, calculate the amount of heat required by the water as follows.

q = $mC \Delta T$

= $100 g \times 4.18 J/g^{o}C \times (100 - 20)^{o}C$

= 33440 J

or, = 33.44 kJ (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Thus, 33.44 kJ heat would it take to raise the temperature of 100.0 g of water from $20.0^{o}C$ to $100.0^{o}C$ .

True or False:<br> Acids react with some metals to produce hydrogen gas

Sedaia [141]

Acids react with most metals to form a salt and hydrogen gas. ... For example, zinc metal reacts with hydrochloric acid producing zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. \[\ce{Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)}\] Bases react with certain metals like zinc or aluminum for example to also produce hydrogen gas.
