Answer: copper

Explanation: when a spoon is placed in a hot coffee, the coffee will cool off based on the concept of heat transfer.

The coffee is at a higher temperature compared to the spoon, hence there is conduction of heat by the spoon from the coffee.

Heat is now transfered from the coffee to the spoon, the rate of heat transfer ( for this case coffee to spoon) is dependent on some properties but for this case, the thermal conductivity is of the most important.

A material of high thermal conductivity have a very fast rate of heat transfer and a material of low thermal conductivity have a slow rate of heat transfer.

Below is the value of thermal conductivity for copper, aluminum, iron and glass.

Copper (385 w/m.K)

Aluminum (205 W/m.K)

Iron (79.5 W/m.K)

Glass (0.8 W/m.K)

It can been seen that copper has the highest value for thermal conductivity which implies that it will conduct heat faster compared to others thus cooling the coffee faster.

How much kinetic energy does a baseball with a mass of 0.143 kg have it it is traveling at a velocity of 41.1 m/s?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

E = 120.77 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a baseball, m = 0.143 kg

Velocity of a baseball, v = 41.1 m/s

We need to find the kinetic energy of the baseball. We know that the kinetic energy of an object is associated with its motion. It can be given by the formula as follow :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.143\ kg\times (41.1\ m/s)^2\\E=120.77\ J

So, the kinetic energy of the baseball is 120.77 J.

5. What is the density of 4.5 mL of a liquid that has a mass of 1.3 grams?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A. 0.289g/mL

Explanation:

Using the equation for density which is d = m/v  or density = mass/volume, we input 1.3g/4.5mL and get 0.289g/mL.
