Samples of different materials, A and B, have the same mass, but the sample of A is higher in density. Which statement could explain why this is so?
A. The particles that make up material B are more closely packed
together than the particles that make up material A.
B. The particles that make up material A have more mass than the
particles that make up material B.
C. The sample of material A has greater volume than the sample of
material B.
D. The particles that make up material B have more mass than the
particles that make up material A.

The heater element of a 120 v toaster is a 5.4 m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.48 mm. the resistivity of nichrome at the operating temperature of the toaster is 1.3 × 10-6 ω·m. the toaster is operated at a voltage of 120 v. (a) what is the power drawn by the toaster? (b) if the cost of electricity is 12 ¢ per kilowatt-hour, and it takes 2 minutes to toast bread, how much does it cost for toasted bread? (c) when the heater element is at room temperature, is the resistivity in the nichrome wire greater than, less than, or equal to it’s resistivity when at operating temperature? explain.
