Answer:

metal conducts heat faster than wood. which means the metal conducted heat away from your hand (or whatever it is) faster than wood.

Explanation:

just because they feel warm/cold doesn't always mean that it is warm/cold. if they both were sitting at room temp for a long time, then both will eventually reach the temp of the room. even though they are the same temp the metal will feel colder than the wood because of the thermal conductivity of the metal compared to the wood.

Double Displacement Reaction

An element from each of two compounds switch places.
Example: compound + compound ⇒ compound + compound

Chemical reactions are processes in which substances change into other substances. A chemical reaction takes place if one or more of these occur:
Color changes - Different combinations of molecules reflect light differently. A color change indicates a change in molecules.
Heat content changes- In all chemical reactions, the heat content of the reactants and the heat content of the products is never the same. Sometimes the difference is great and can be easily detected. At other times, the difference is slight and more difficult to detect.
Gas produced - Whenever a gaseous product forms in a liquid solution, bubbles can be seen. A colorless gas produced in a reaction of solids is much harder to detect.
Precipitate forms- Precipitates are insoluble products formed by a reaction taking place in a liquid solution. This insoluble product will eventually settle to the bottom, but might immediately appear by turning the clear solution cloudy.

AleksandrR [38]

Refer to the diagram shown.

Because the surface is frictionless, the resistive for, R, is zero.

Let m = the mass of the object.
Let a = acceleration due to the applied force.
Therefore
12.7 N = (m kg)*(a m/s²)
a = 12.7/m m/s²

The object travels 16.1 m in 2.5 s, starting from rest. Therefore
16.1 N = (1/2)*(12.7/m m/s²)*(2.5 s)² = 39.6875/m N
m = 16.1/39.6875 = 0.4057 kg

For freefall, let g = acceleration due to gravity.
The time to fall from 10.3 m is 2.88 s, therefore
10.3 m = (1/2)*(g m/s²)*(2.88 s)² = 4.1472g m
g = 10.3/4.1472 = 2.484 m/s²

Answer:
The gravitational acceleration on the planet is 2.5 m/s² (nearest tenth)

Oxana [17]

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

In the stabilizing natural selection, the extreme traits from both the ends are eliminated by natural selection and natural selection favors the intermediate trait. So over time individuals having the intermediate traits are selected over the individuals having extreme traits.

So here the population of the bat which possesses moderate wing length is selected over the individual with extreme traits like individuals with short wings and long wings. As a result, the population of moderate length wing bats increased.

Therefore the correct answer is (B)- stabilizing natural selection.
