Answer:
Precisely, water has to absorb 4,184 Joules of heat (1 calorie) for the temperature of one kilogram of water to increase 1°C. For comparison sake, it only takes 385 Joules of heat to raise 1 kilogram of copper 1°C.
Explanation:
Fair enough, but you'll have to tell us the volume of the bar first.
Answer:
If a vertical line extending down from an object's CG extends outside its area of support, the object will topple
Explanation:
We can understand better this situation using a diagram with the forces acting on it.
In the attached image we can see that when the gravity center is bouncing outside from the area of the pedestal, the object will be out of balance and will fall.
Ideal gas law:
PV = nRT
P = pressure, V = volume, n = # of moles, R = gas constant, T = temperature
Equipartition theorem:
Each degree of freedom that a molecule has adds 0.5kT to its total internal energy where k = Boltzmann's constant and T = temperature
2nd law of thermodynamics:
A set of governing principles that restrict the direction of net heat flow (always hot to cold, heat engines are never 100% efficient, entropy always tends to increase, etc)
Clearly the answer is Choice A
