Answer:
The specific heat of the alloy 
Explanation:
Mass of an alloy 
= 25 gm
Initial temperature 
= 100°c = 373 K
Mass of water 
= 90 gm
Initial temperature of water 
= 25.32 °c = 298.32 K
Final temperature 
= 27.18 °c = 300.18 K
From energy balance equation
Heat lost by alloy = Heat gain by water
[ - ] = 
( - )
25 × × ( 373 - 300.18 ) = 90 × 4.2 (300.18 - 298.32)
This is the specific heat of the alloy.
Given the following choices, determine which best suits as a characteristic of a hurricane.
Answer Choices:
A. Hurricanes occur mostly inland
B. Hurricanes create widespread damage
C. Hurricanes can only last for a short amount of time
D. Hurricanes gain strength after passing overland
Best Answer: B. Hurricanes can create widespread damage.
Reason: A would not be correct since it is more of a variable, due to the fact that hurricanes usually begin near the coastlines, hurricanes are in fact capable of moving inland for atleast 100 miles before it dies down to a tropical storm or depression.
C is not correct since hurricanes can last up to a whole week which is approximately 168 hours.
D is not correct since it is another variable in which hurricanes can decrease in strength if it comes into contact with cool and dry air which is the opposite of warm and moist which it needs in order to occur.
Therefore, the best choice is B. Hurricanes can create widespread damage, hurricanes can unleash a staggering arsenal of mother nature's strength and the most damage a hurricane has caused can go up to 125 billion USD in damages.
I believe it's the second option. 2 or more elements joined together such that the elements have lost their individual identity in favour of a new set of properties.
