A 3.00-g copper penny at 25.0°C drops from a height of50.0 m to the ground. (

The potential energy, E, of the penny is given by E=mgh. The energy, Q, required to raise the temperature of an object by an amount ΔT is given by Q=mcΔT. We can equate these two to get the result but we must use proper units and include the 60%:
(0.6)mgh=mcΔT
We see we can divide out the mass from each side
0.6gh=cΔT, then 0.6gh/c=ΔT
(0.6)9.81(m/s²)50m/385(J/kg°C) = 0.7644°C
since this is the change in temperature and it started at 25°C we get
T=25.7644°C
As you can see the result does not depend on mass. The more massive the copper object the more potential energy it will have to contribute to the heat energy, but the more stuff there will be to heat up, and the effect is that the mass cancels.

Answer:

3) Reflexive Property

4) SAS

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The Reflexive Property states that: a quantity is congruent (equal) to itself.

Example: a = a
In this case, it could be seen as ST ≅ ST because they have/are the same side(s).

1. SAS theorem states that: two triangles are equal if two sides and the angle between those two sides are equal.

Example: RST ≅ UTS (both have S and T)
Can be seen as RST ≅ UST as well to make their similarity more evident.

2. Because it is given that RS ≅ UT and RT ≅ US, and it includes the same 2 lines being equal as given/said, RST ≅ UTS because of SAS (theorem).

Between 2005 and 2008, the average rate of inflation was about3.4 per year. If a cart of groceries cost $140 in 2005, what did i

Elan Coil [88]

The formula is
A=p (1+r)^t
A future value?
P current value 140
R rate of inflation 0.034
T time 2008-2005=3 years
A=140×(1+0.034)^(3)
A=154.77 round your answer to get
A=155
