Answer:

The temperature of an object increases when the molecules that make up that object move faster. Thermal energy is energy possessed by an object or system due to the movement of particles within the object or the system.

A 190 g rock at 20°C is completely immersed in 600 g of water at 80°C. Which one of the following statements is true right after
Umnica [9.8K]

Rock is completely immersed in hot water. By the second law of thermodynamics, thermal energy or heat is transferred from substance with higher temperature to substance with lower temperature until they come to thermal equilibrium i.e. both at same temperature.

It is given here that rock is at 20°C which is at lower temperature than water at 80°C. ∴Heat or thermal energy flows from water to rock. So, right choice is-

A. The water gives the rock thermal energy and gets no thermal energy in return.

Calculate the acceleration of a 1000 kg car if the motor provides a small thrust of 1000 N and the static and dynamic friction c
grin007 [14]

Explanation :

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg              

Force applied by the motor, F_A=1000\ N

The static and dynamic friction coefficient is, \mu=0.5

Let a is the acceleration of the car. Since, the car is in motion, the coefficient of sliding friction can be used. At equilibrium,

F_A-\mu mg=ma

\dfrac{F_A-\mu mg}{m}=a

a=\dfrac{1000-0.5(1000)(9.81)}{1000}

a=-3.905\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the car is -3.905\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which of the following is quantitative data? a. Color c. Shape b. Odor d. Volume
Papessa [141]
Hello there! Quantitive data has to do with measurements that can be shown with numbers. Examples of this are things like your height and the length of your arms. With that alone, A and B are eliminated, because those answer choices make no sense. They can't be expressed by numbers and you can't measure colors or odors mathematically. Volume is a way to measure something that CAN be written down by numbers. D is the only answer choice that fits the definition of quantitive data. The answer is D: volume.
