A calorimeter directly measures changes in temperature in order to calculate specific heat.
Calorimeter is an object used for calorimetry, or the process of measuring the heat of chemical reactions or physical changes as well as heat capacity.

Hope this help

The complete sentence is:

A calorimeter directly measures changes in temperature in order to calculate specific heat.

In fact, the amount of energy acquired/released by a substance is directly proportional to its change in temperature due to the equation

Q=mC_s \Delta T

where Q is the amount of energy, m is the mass of the substance, Cs is the specific heat of the substance and \Delta T is the change in temperature. Therefore, by knowing Q, m and by measuring the change in temperature, it is possible to calculate Cs, the specific heat capacity of the substance.

Which statement regarding sound traveling in air is correct?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: D. A wave with a shorter wavelength is always faster than one with a longer wavelength

Explanation: "Imagine two sets of waves that have the same speed. <u><em>If one set has a longer wavelength, it will have a lower frequency (more time between waves). If the other set has a shorter wavelength, it will have a higher frequency</em></u> (less time between waves). Light moves even faster AND has shorter wavelengths."

Why it's not C: "The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency (f). <em><u>As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease</u></em>. From these equations you may realize that as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. As the frequency decreases, the wavelength gets longer."

Why it's not B: "The frequency does not change as the sound wave moves from one medium to another. Since the speed changes and the frequency does not, the wavelength must change."

Why it's not A: "Do loud sounds travel faster than soft sounds? No. Both travel at the same speed The speed depends on the medium it passes through. Louder sounds are simply sound waves with higher amplitude traveling at the same speed."

Why transparent object don't form a shadow​
Pani-rosa [81]

Explanation:

Transparent objects do not form shadows. The light passes completely from the transparent objects thus these objects will not form shadow. ... In such objects, the light gets refracted thus, such objects forms shadow. The refraction is also the reason why we can see such objects.
