Answer
-
Both objects will be as hot as Object B initially was

Question 4
Question
Assume C=A*B, C must be at least 65536, and A must be at least 512. Pick the value pairs for A and B to satisfy this condition.
Answer
-
A = 1024, B = 64
-
A = 128, B = 8192
-
A = 4096, B = 8
-
A = 65536, B = 0
-
A = 2048, B = 128
-
A = 512, B = 16
Question 5
Question
C = A*B. If A is multiplied by four and B is divided by eight, what is the new value for C?
Question 6
Question
Check all of the phrases which mean the exact same thing.
Answer
-
Object A is twice the mass of object B.
-
Two of object A would have equal the mass of object B.
-
Object B is half the mass of object A.
-
If object A was doubled in mass, object B would be four times less massive than A.
-
Half the mass of object B is equal to one eighth the mass of object A.
-
Object A is 200% the mass of object B.
