Answer:

Sample B has the highest specific heat

Explanation:

Specific heat of a material is defined as the heat necessary to increase in the temperature of 1g of material in 1°C.

The material with the highest specific heat requires more energy to increase its temperature.

In the problem, sample A and B are under the same amount of energy but sample A increases more its temperature. That means sample A has the lowest specific heat and:

<h3>Sample B has the highest specific heat</h3>

. A current through a horizontal powerline flows in west to east direction. What is the direction of magnetic field at a point,
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

c) parallel to the wire

Explanation:

The concept is based on right-hand thumb rule that states that the thumb points in the direction of the current and the fingers will represent the direction of the lines of magnetic force.

As the current is moving in the east-west direction. Using the right-hand thumb rule, the direction of the magnetic field at a point below the wire is from north to south. So, when viewed from the west end, the magnetic field at a point will be anti- clockwise.

Hence, the correct answer is "b) anti- clockwise".

In terms of energy what kind of system is a sealed glass terrarium on a windsill?
Snezhnost [94]
If the sealed glass is permeable to sunlight or to transfer of heat will be an open system, but if the sealed glass is a thermic glass and doesn't allow exchange of heat and exchange of solar energy (for example a mirrored glass that reflect the sunlight) and the terrarium is not exchanging energy with the surroundings will be a closed system. It is a question that doesn't specify too many details about the system in the study. It is hard to give a final answer without making some assumptions.
