Answer:

B. QC > 0; QH < 0

Explanation:

Given that there are two reservoir of energy.

Sign convention for heat and work :

1.If the heat is adding to the system then it is taken as positive and if heat is going out from the system then it is taken as negative.

2. If the work is done on the system then it is taken as negative and if the work is done by the system then it is taken as positive.

From hot reservoir heat is going out that is why it is taken as negative

$Q_H$

From cold reservoir heat is coming inside the reservoir that is why it is taken as positive

$Q_C>0$

That is why the answer will be

$Q_H$ , $Q_C>0$

Emily wanted to see what battery lasted the longest. She put each battery into a clock and recorded the time that the clock stop

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

This question is asking to identify the following variables:

Independent variable (IV): Battery

Dependent variable (DV): Time the clock stopped

Constant: Same clock

Control: No stated control

Explanation:

The independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is subject to manipulation or change by the experimenter. In this experiment, the independent variable is the BATTERIES (Duracell, Energizer, Kroger brand, EverReady).

The dependent variable is the variable that responds to the changes made to the independent variable. It is the variable that the experimenter measures. In this case, the dependent variable is the TIME IT TAKES FOR THE CLOCK TO STOP.

Constants or control variable is the variable that the experimenter keeps constant or unchanged for all groups throughout the experiment in order not to influence the outcome of the experiment. The constant in this case is the SAME CLOCK USED.

Control group is the group that does not receive the experimental treatment or independent variable in an experiment. In this case, all groups received a different kind of battery.

3. Take sugar, oil, corn syrup, a glass and water. Pour the water in the glass and then add each of the above the substances one

hoa [83]

Here are the observations

Sugar:-

Sugar is soluble in water
so It will dissolve in water .

Corn syrup:-

Corn syrup is also basically a sugar.
It will dissolve in water too .
If we shake the mixture in glass then corn syrup will be dissolved.

Oil:-

Oil is not soluble in water
Hence it won't dissolve in water.
It will float over water and make two layers

During nuclear fission and fusion, matter that seems to disappear is actually converted into

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Energy (I need one more brainlist can i has?)

Explanation:

- Nuclear fusion occurs when two light nuclei fuse together into a heavier nucleus

- Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy, unstable nucleus breaks apart into two or more lighter nuclei

In both processes, the mass of the products is always smaller than the mass of the initial nuclei. This means that part of the initial mass has been converted into something else: into energy, which is released in the process.

The amount of energy released in the process can be calculated by using the famous Einstein's equivalence:

where m is the difference between the mass of the product and the initial mass of the nuclei, and c is the speed of light.
