Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 3 points) (06.04 MC)

A student wants to compare how easily a metal and a plastic spoon of the same temperature can transfer thermal energy. Which of the following activities should the student perform?

Measure the effort required to bend each spoon.
Place an ice cube on each spoon and record the rate of melting of the cubes.
Place the spoons at room temperature and record the change in temperature of each.
Measure the change in weight of the spoons after placing them in the freezer for a few minutes.

mountains can affect the climate of nearby lands. in some areas, mountains block rain, so that one side of a mountain range may be rainy and the other side may be a desert. much of airborne moisture falls as rain on the windward side of mountains.

1) a giant star is a star with a radius much larger than that of our sun (even hundreds of times bigger). they can be either blue giants or red giants: in the first case, the surface temperature is very high, higher than that of the sun, while in the second case the surface temperature can be lower than that of the sun. the same applies to the mass: blue giants are very massive stars, burning quickly their nuclear fuel, while red giants can have small masses (a little bit bigger than that of our sun).

2) we can find giant stars in the upper part of the hr diagram, blue giants will be on the upper left corner since they have high luminosity and high temperature, while red giants will be on the upper right corner, having high luminosity but low temperature.
