Answer:a) Water is relatively resistant to an increase in temperature

Explanation:

Water has relatively high heat capacity i.e. it requires high amount of heat to raise a little increase in temperature.

Heat capacity is defined as ability of molecule to absorb heat . Mathematically heat capacity is defined as

C=\frac{Q}{\Delta T}

where C=heat\ capacity

Q=heat\ interaction

\Delta T=change\ in\ Temperature

How have the competing explanations' experiments on atoms affected the development of the atomic model?
zaharov [31]

Answer:Competing explanations' experiments on atoms gave a perfect modal of an atom

Explanation

There is a long story of atom. Different scientist gave different theories related to atomic modal but no one individually gave a perfect modal they perfect each other work and finally we got a perfect modal of atom.

Here is a short story of atom

in 400 B.C.E, Democritus was the first philosopher who gave the concept of atom. He believes that everything is made up of tiny spheres  and these spheres are known as atoms.

in 1803, Dalton said that atoms of an element are similar. For example all atoms of carbon are similar.

in 1904 J. J. Thomson proposed that atom is sphere in which positively charged matter is filled and electrons are randomly scattered in that positively charged matter.

in 1911, Rutherford gave the concept of nucleus he believed that at the center of atoms all positively charged  particles are present and this center is known as nucleus. He said that negatively charge electrons revolves around the nucleus in particular orbit.

In 1913, Niels Bohr gave a new model he believes that atomic model is similar to planetary modal. He believed that the electrons in an atom revolves around  the nucleus in sets of orbits in a similar manner like the planets revolves around the sun.

In 1919, Rutherford gave the concept of proton.  

In 1932, James Chadwick gives the concept of neutron.

In this way different scientist gave different theories related to atoms and finally they all gave a perfect modal of atom.

How does the angle of launch affect the kinetic energy of a rubber band?​
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The angle of launch of the rubber band affects the initial velocity. The more the rubber band is stretched the more force it applies to return to equilibrium and the more kinetic energy that results in.

Which statement correctly distinguishes between mechanical and electromagnetic waves?
mezya [45]
The statement that correctly distinguishes between mechanical and electromagnetic waves is: "<span>Mechanical waves carry energy through matter; electromagnetic waves carry energy through space.</span>" Mechanical waves need a medium to propagate, therefore they can only carry energy through matter. Electromagnetic is not limited by vacuum, therefore they can carry energy through space.

A force F = (cx - 3.00x^2)i^ acts on a virus as the virus moves along an x axis, with F measured in Newtons, x in meters, and c
Ket [755]

Answer:

c = 4

Explanation:

From work-energy theorem KE = workdone.

Given F = (cx - 3.00x²)i

W = ∫Fdx = ∫(cx - 3.00x²)dx = cx²/2 –3.00x³/3 + A

W = cx²/2 –x³ + A

Where A is a constant

At x = 0, KE = 20J

So W = 20J at x = 0

20 = c×0 - 0 +A

A = 20

So W = cx²/2 –x³ + 20

Also when x = 3.00m, W = KE = 11J

So

11 = c×3²/2 – 3³ + 20

11 = 4.5c – 7

4.5c = 11 + 7

4.5c = 18

c = 18/4.5 = 4

c = 4
