Explanation:

1. Rocks are tougher and stronger as compared to wood.

2. Rocks can be naturally found in various shapes: pointed, flat etc which makes them usable as a tool right away without any major modifications. In case of wood has to be shaped into desired shape.

3. Wood is more prone to weathering due to atmospheric condition in comparison to stones.

Wood isn't as tough as rock. Wood also breaks down in weather and cracks under pressure. Plus rocks were more accessible.

An unknown substance has a mass of 11.9 g . When the substance absorbs 1.071×102 J of heat, the temperature of the substance is
Mashcka [7]

Answer: The most likely identity of the substance is iron.

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T

Q = Heat absorbed=1.071\times 10^2 Joules

m= mass of substance = 11.9 g

c = specific heat capacity = ?

Initial temperature of the water = T_i = 25.0°C

Final temperature of the water = T_f  = 45.0°CChange in temperature ,\Delta T=T_f-T_i=(45-25)^0C=20^0C

Putting in the values, we get:

1.071\times 10^2=11.9\times c\times 20^0C

c=0.45J/g^0C

The specific heat of 0.45 is for iron and thus the substance is iron.

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

r=6.05km/hr

z=59.1 degree to the horizontal

Explanation:

A bird is flying east at 5.2 kilometers/hour relative to the air. There's a crosswind blowing at 3.1 kilometers/hour toward the south relative to the ground. What is the bird's velocity relative to the ground? State your answer to one decimal place

can be solved using pythagoras theorem

r^2=o^2+a^2

r^2=5.2^2+3.1^2

r^2=36.65

r=6.1km/hr is te birds velocity relative to the ground

tanz=5.2/3.1

z=tan^-1(5,2/3.1)

z=59.1 degree to the horizontal
