The freezing and thawing action of water affects a rock by

Ball b is hanging from an inextensible cord. an identical ball a is released from rest when it is just touching the cord and drops through the vertical distance h a 5 8 in. before striking ball b. assuming e 5 0.9 and no friction, determine the resulting maximum vertical displacement h b of the ball b

The energy released by a chemical reaction can be measured using a calorimeter. when barium hydroxide octahydrate crystals are reacted with dry ammonium chloride inside of a coffee cup calorimeter, the temperature of the 18.00 g of water in the calorimeter decreases from 30.0°c to 8.0°c. the equation for calculating energy absorbed or released by a reaction is: where q is the energy released or absorbed, m is the mass of water in the calorimeter, cp is the specific heat of water, and δt is the observed temperature change. if the specific heat of liquid water is 4.19 j/g·°c, how much energy was absorbed by the reaction?

The passing of heat through a material while the material itself stays in place. a. radiation b. conduction c. convection
