Answer:

The driving force for (a) heat transfer is temperature difference. (b) electric current is voltage difference. (c) fluid flow is pressure or hydraulic head difference.

Explanation: (a) The driving force for heat transfer is temperature difference. Heat transfer between two mediums is possible only if the two mediums are at different temperature, the higher the temperature, the higher the heat transfer.

(b) The driving force for electric current is voltage difference. Voltage difference is defined as the potential difference in charge between two points in electrical field. For electric current to occur,the voltage must be high.

(c) The driving force for fluid flow is pressure difference or hydraulic head difference. For fluid to move upward,it requires energy.

What mass of water will fill a tank that is 100.0 cm long, 50.0 cm wide, and 30.0 cm high? Express the answer in grams.

Bond [772]

$calculate\ mass\ from\ formula\ for\ density:\\\\
density=volume*mass\\
mass=\frac{density}{volume}\\\\
volume=width*length*height\\
volume=100*50*30=150000cm^3=0,15m^3\\\\
density\ of\ water=\ 999.9720 \frac{kg}{m^3} \\\\mass=0,15*999.9720=149,9958kg=149995,8grams\\\\ Answer\ is\ :\\water\ which\ weight\ is\ equal\ to\ 149995,8grams.

Hi!

I believe that there were the following options in this question:

<span>A) Which color bends the most to make a rainbow?
B) What color of scented marker has the best smell?
C) Which flower has the prettiest shade of purple on its petals?
D) What is the best-looking color on a high-performance sports car</span>

Now, options b), c) and d) are about a personal preference and opinion - they are not scientific uqestions.
The correct answer is a) - it asks about the properties of light.
