anya recorded the temperatures of four different smooth materials after they were placed under a heat lamp for thirty minutes. which conclusion is best supported by the information in the chart? material temperature (°f) w 87 x 99 y 75 z 105 material w is less absorbent than material z. material y is the least reflective. material x is more reflective than material w. material z is the least absorbent.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Understand heat - absorption and reflection
Higher temperature means more heat absorbed. Lower temperature means more heat reflected.
Step2: Analyze each option
- Material W has a temperature of 87°F and material Z has a temperature of 105°F. Since Z has a higher temperature, it absorbed more heat, so W is less absorbent than Z.
- Material Y has a relatively low temperature (75°F), so it is more reflective, not the least reflective.
- Material X has a higher temperature (99°F) than W (87°F), so X absorbed more heat and is less reflective than W.
- Material Z has the highest temperature (105°F), so it is the most absorbent, not the least absorbent.
Answer:
Material W is less absorbent than material Z.
