Answer:

Lead

Explanation:

The material that will warm up the fastest would be<u> lead.</u>

<em>The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit of the substance by one degree. The higher the specific heat capacity of a substance, the higher the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the substance and vice versa.</em>

The specific heat capacity (in J/g °C) of granite, iron, copper, and lead are as follows:

Granite - 0.790

Iron    - 0.450

Copper - 0.385

Lead - 0.129

From the table, <u>lead has the lowest specific heat capacity, hence, it will be the fastest to get warmed when equal masses of all the substances are placed in the sunlight.</u>

a grocery bag

Thermoplastic is known to be a plastic material with a polymer that can be molded above a specific temperature and solidifies upon cooling. Thermoplastics can be remelted or reshaped by heating and they have low melting points. Furthermore, they usually have high concentration of polymers with amorphous structures, the material will have a poor resistance to loads but it will have an excellent elasticity.

Winds in our atmosphere are created as a result of which of the following processes?
shusha [124]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) Uneven heating of the air in the atmosphere</em>

Explanation:

Wind can simply be described as air which is moving or which is in motion. The uneven heating of the Earth's surface caused by the sun is the reason why winds occur. The difference in pressure of one area to another area causes the air to move and cause wind. The air tends to move from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure and such is the movement of the wind.

Which process is responsible for the growth and repair of human tissue ?
muminat

In general, the process responsible for the growth and repair of human tissue is the healing process, which takes place in three phases.

1. inflammatory response. Injured tissues release  chemicals that draw resources to the area, alert the body that damage has occurred and inhibit function to prevent further injury.

2. Repair phase. Once injured area is walled off and debris removed, construction to  replace or repair injured tissue begins. New blood vessels grow in the injured area maximizing transport within tissue.

3. Remodeling phase. Construction of permanent tissue , typically strong scar tissue made from dense network of collagen fibers. 

Looking at it from cell level, the process of mitosis is actually taking place during  healing. 

Mitosis is used for growth and repair and produces diploid cells identical to each other and to the parent cell. 

New cells are needed throughout life. These are for growth and replacement of damaged or worn out tissue. The body obtains such through the process of mitosis.
