D) Silver

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of metal = 0.5kg

temperature change = 1K

Quantity of heat = 115J

Unknown;

Identity of the metal = ?

Solution:

We first find the specific heat of the unknown metal and compare with the table of specific heat of metals.

   C = \frac{Q}{mΔt}

  C = \frac{115}{1 x 0.5} = 230JKg⁻¹K⁻¹

Comparing this value with the table shows that the metal is silver.

Describe the movement of air over 2 nearby land areas, one of which is heated more than the other.

In this case, the air from the warm area will always start moving towards the colder areas because as the temperature in both lands should be equal. This is one of the laws of thermodynamics.

A child in a tree house uses a rope attached to a basket to lift a 24 N dog upward through a distance of 4.9 m into the house.
jenyasd209 [6]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

117.6 Joules

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • Force of the dog is 24 N
  • Distance upward is 4.9 m

We are required to calculate the work done

  • Work done is the product of force and distance
  • That is; Work done = Force × distance
  • It is measured in Joules.

In this case;

Force applied is equivalent to the weight of the dog.

Work done = 24 N × 4.9 m

                  = 117.6 Joules

Hence, the work done in lifting the dog is 117.6 Joules

The average diameter of one tennis ball in a package of three is 6.8 cm. Which of the following is the combined volume of all th
Crank

We want to find the combined volume of 3 tennis balls. We will get that the combined volume is 493.7 cm^3

First, remember that for a sphere of diameter D, the volume is:

V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*(\frac{D}{2})^3

Where 3.14 is pi.

Here we know that the average diameter of a tennis ball is 6.8cm, then we can replace that in the above equation to find the volume (in average) of a single tennis ball:

V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*(\frac{6.8cm}{2})^3 = 164.5 cm^3

Now, in 3 balls of tennis, the combined volume will be 3 times the above one, this is:

3*V = 3*164.5cm^3 = 493.7 cm^3

Which switch configuration creates a short circuit?
lara31 [8.8K]
I think the answer would be Switch 1 open; switches 2, 3, and 4 closed. It is letter D. This will happen when there is a low resistance and a high circuit so from the choices above, when two bulbs are open and one bulb is close, so there is a low resistance and high voltage.
