A calorimeter measures the amount of heat in a chemical reaction. So the answer would be C, specific heat.
Answer:
U₂ = 20 J
KE₂ = 40 J
v= 12.64 m/s
Explanation:
Given that
H= 12 m
m = 0.5 kg
h= 4 m
The potential energy at position 1
U₁ = m g H
U₁ = 0.5 x 10 x 12 ( take g= 10 m/s²)
U₁ = 60 J
The potential energy at position 2
U₂ = m g h
U ₂= 0.5 x 10 x 4 ( take g= 10 m/s²)
U₂ = 20 J
The kinetic energy at position 1
KE= 0
The kinetic energy at position 2
KE= 1/2 m V²
From energy conservation
U₁+KE₁=U₂+KE₂
By putting the values
60 - 20 = KE₂
KE₂ = 40 J
lets take final velocity is v m/s
KE₂= 1/2 m v²
By putting the values
40 = 1/2 x 0.5 x v²
160 = v²
v= 12.64 m/s
An element would be the type of substance that only contains one kind of matter.
I'm not sure about the rest but for question 2:
A theory is an attempt to come up with a big picture of all we know so far. It also drives future research as people do experiments to see if what the theory predicts actually happens. When experiments don’t support the theory, you have to change the theory and try again. That’s how science works. We come up with a “best guess” (theory), and then do research to test it’s accuracy. As we discover contradictions, we adjust the theory to take those into account, and then start testing the validity of the new theory.
