The block is made of A) Tin, as its specific heat capacity is 0.225 J/(g^{\circ}C)

Explanation:

When an amount of energy Q is supplied to a sample of material of mass m, the temperature of the material increases by \Delta T, according to the following equation :

Q=mC_s \Delta T

where  C_s is the specific heat capacity of the material.

In this problem, we have:

m = 2 kg = 2000 g is the mass of the unknown material

Q = 450 J is the amount of energy supplied to the block

\Delta T = 1^{\circ}C is the change in temperature of the material

Solving the equation for C_s, we can find the specific heat capacity of the unknown sample:

C_s = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}=\frac{450}{(2000)(1)}=0.225 J/(g^{\circ}C)

And by comparing with tabular values, we can find that this value is approximately the specific heat capacity of tin.

Calculate the height of a cliff if it takes 2.35 s for a rock to hit the ground when it is thrown straight up from the cliff wit
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

height of a cliff is 45.86 m

Explanation:

u=8 m/s

t=2.35 s

the height of the cliff is

S=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2\\S=8\times2.35+\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times 2.35^2\\S=45.86 m

Classify each action as a cause or an effect of climate change. Fossil fuels burn. Glaciers melt. Climates change. Rain falls in
Goryan [66]
Fossil fuels burn: cause
Glaciers melt: effect (mostly; the melting ice caps are a positive feedback loop of sorts)
Climates change: effect
Rain falls in unusual amounts: effect
Cities become more industrialized: cause
Human population grows worldwide: cause

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Concrete

Explanation:

The speed at which sound propagates is medium dependent. As one of the forms of mechanical waves, sound requires a material medium for propagation from place to place.

  • Sound travels with the least speed in air because air particles are far apart and they are randomized.
  • Sound travels with the greatest speed in solids. Concrete is the only solid material given in the choice.

The speed of sound increases from air to liquid and to solid.
