The correct answer (d.) epistemology. The major contribution of the French philosopher Rene Descartes was in the realm of epistemology. Epistemology is the theory of knowledge, including methods, validity, and its scope. It could also be concluded to separate justified fact from an opinion.
B. A pot of boiling water represents a system that is completely open.
Hey There!
When the gas temperature decreases the volume decreases too.

Answer:
D. Friction and air resistance created heat on his trip up the hill.
Explanation:
Energy transformation from one form to another is not 100% efficient. This is the postulate of the first law of thermodynamics.
Most of the energy transformation is not purely 100%.
When energy is transformed, some are usually wasted.
- In this case, in moving from bottom up, Superman produced some heat and encountered air resistance.
- To reach the top, he must have overcome the resistance and produce enough heat to power him through.
- This reduces the amount of potential energy that should have been the same as the kinetic energy down below.
Answer:
b. Decreases
Explanation:
The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances:
(1)
Therefore, as we add more lamps, the total resistance increases (because we add more positive tems in the sum in eq.(1).
The current in a circuit is given by Ohm's law:
where V is the voltage provided by the power source and 
is the total resistance. We notice that the current, I, is inversely proportional to the total resistance: therefore, when more lamps are added to the series circuit, the total resistance increases, and therefore the current in the circuit decreases.
