Answer:

Aluminium

Explanation:

When a certain amount of heat is supplied to a substance, the temperature of the substance increases according to the equation:

\Delta T = \frac{Q}{mC}

where

\Delta T is the increase in temperature

Q is the amount of heat supplied to the substance

m is the mass of the substance

C is the specific heat capacity of the substance

Here the four substances have the same mass,

m = 50.0 g

Also, the amount of heat supplied to the 4 substances is the same. This means that their increase in temperature is inversely proportional to their specific heat capacity:

\Delta T \propto \frac{1}{C}

Therefore, the substance with the highest specific heat capacity will have the smallest temperature increase: by comparing the values in the table, we see that alluminium has the highest specific heat capacity (0.90 J/gC), therefore it will have the smallest temperature increase.

What is the momentum of an object that is moving in a straight line at a speed of 10 m/s and has a mass of 10 kilograms?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
The momentum of an object is given by the product between its mass and its velocity:
p=mv
where m is the mass and v the velocity.

For the object in our problem, m=10 kg and v=10 m/s, therefore its momentum is
p=mv=(10 kg)(10 m/s)=100 kg m/s
So, the correct answer is B).

What causes irregular galaxies to be irregular
Mariulka [41]

Irregular galaxies get their odd shapes in many ways. One way irregular galaxies are formed is when galaxies collide or come close to one another, and their gravitational forces interact. Another source of irregular galaxies may be very young galaxies that have not yet reached a symmetrical state.

Energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength of a wave. Which would have the GREATEST energy? A wave with a
Ivan

Answer:

A 5

Explanation:

The wave with the least amount of wavelength will have the greatest amount of energy.

Wavelength and energy shares an inverse relationship;

       E  = h f  = \frac{hc}{wavelength}

From this equation, we see that the higher the energy of a wave, the lesser its wavelength.

  • Choice A from the options has the least wavelength.
  • Wavelength is the distance between two successive crests of a wave.

This is why we see that in the electromagnetic spectrum, radio waves have the least energy because they have the longest wavelength.

A student states, "The wave model is better than the particle model for electromagnetic radiation because it is easier to unders
Kobotan [32]

The student's claim did not follow the scientific method of discovery, hence, it is an opinion not a scientific claim.

<h3>What is the scientific method?</h3>

The scientific method is a procedure employed by scientific towards understanding the world around them as well giving explanation for phenomena in the natural world.

The scientific method involves:

  • observations
  • asking questions
  • putting forward a hypothesis
  • testing the hypothesis through experiments
  • analyzing results of the experiments and drawing conclusions
  • establishing a theory.

Since the student in question just put forward an opinion without testing it out using the scientific method, the statement is not a scientific claim.
