A. Outside on a summer day, there are less particles that the sound bounces off of (snow and wind absorb the sound)

B. Water, sound travels faster through denser objects. Water has a higher density than air.

C. High air pressure, sound moves faster through matter that is closer together. This can be said because sound can't travel through space. (There is no atmosphere and consistent particles in space for sound to go through)

D. A piece of steel, It's denser than wood and water.

E. 90% nitrogen and 10% helium, nitrogen is denser than helium so it will move faster

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Stainless steel

Explanation:

I will try to order the solutions from the least correct to the most correct.

Since a temperature greater than 200 ° F is required, that is to say approximately 93 ° c, <em>Polycaprolactone</em> is the least indicated. Its melting point is approximately 60 ° C, so it would not serve the required application.

On the other hand we have<em> Untreated aluminum</em>, which although it has a melting point higher than the required one, without a zinc and magnesium treatment it will easily oxidize in a salty environment, so it cannot be used in this choice either.

We have to compare the two steels.

The<em> Mild Steel </em>has a better corrosion resistance than the previous ones, but in a long-term cycle it will end up full of corrosion and therefore its properties will be highly affected.

Finally, we have <em>stainless steel</em>, which, as the name implies, contains in some of its variations chromium, zinc or magnesium in its alloys, which makes it highly resistant to corrosion.

In addition its melting point is above 1500 ° c.

The best choice is stainless steel.

A battery does work on electric charges to bring them to a position of higher electric potential energy so that they can flow th
Ipatiy [6.2K]
(Missing question is: which of the following statements are true?)

a) <span>A battery does work on electric charges to bring them to a position of higher electric potential energy so that they can flow through a circuit to a lower potential energy --> TRUE
That's true: the battery does the work to move the charges to one end of its terminal thus creating a potential difference between the two terminals. Then, when it is connected to the circuit, charges start to flow to the terminal at lower potential (through the circuit)

b) </span><span>the potential difference between the terminals of a battery, when no current flows to an external circuit, is referred to as the terminal voltage --> FALSE
This is false: when no current flows, it is called e.m.f. (electromotive force)

c) </span><span>the internal resistance of a battery decreases with decreasing temperature 
--> TRUE
In fact, the dependence of a resistance with the temperature is:
</span>R=R_0[1+\alpha (T-T_0)]
with \alpha being generally positive, therefore the value of the resistance is proportional to T, and when T decreases, R decreases as well.

<span>d) a battery is a device that produces electricity by transforming chemical energy into electrical energy --> TRUE
</span><span>That's true: a battery uses chemical reactions to create a potential difference between the two terminals that can be exploited to make charges flowing through a circuit.

A heat pump absorbs heat from the atmosphere at a rate of 30 kW. If work is being done to run this heat pump at a rate of 7.7 kW
Volgvan

Answer:

Option D 3.9

Explanation:

First, you need to use the correct equation which is the following:

COP = Q/W

Where:

Q = heat absorbed

W = work done by the pump

COP = coefficient of perfomance

We have all the data, so, all you need to do is replace in the above expression and you shoould get the correct result:

COP = 30 / 7.7

COP = 3.896

This result you can round it to 3.9. option D.
