A 5.000-kg stone is perched near the edge of a cliff 25.00 m high. Using the base of the cliff as the reference level, the mechanical energy of the system is J.

The specific heat of silver is 0.057 calories/gram°c. if 10.0 grams of silver were heated and the temperature of the sample changed by 20.0°c, how many calories of heat energy were absorbed by the sample?

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.
