Ascoop of ice cream is placed on top of a warm piece of pie in a bowl. which statements about this scenario are true? select all that apply.
a. the pie will decrease in energy.
b. the ice cream will increase in energy.
c. the pie's energy will destroy a portion of the ice cream's energy.
d. the overall amount of energy in the bowl will neither increase nor decrease.

the answers are c and d.

explanation:

b: the total amount of energy in the container will not increase or decrease. since the energy is transferred from one element to another, the energy that dissipates is negligible.

in this case the energy of the pie is transferred to the ice cream, melting it.

c: the ice cream will increase in energy. as the heat is transferred from the pie to the ice cream. the movement between the particles of the ice cream increases, increasing its kinetic energy.

hope this !

as university of miami psychologists debra lieberman and adam smith pointed out in a recent article in the journal current directions in psychological science, humans have social and psychological mechanisms to deter incest. with very few exceptions, marriages between brothers and sisters and between parents and their children are verboten in every human culture. the primary psychological anti-incest mechanism is the yuck response. even the idea of sex with their mom or dad, bro or sis is upsetting to most people. the psychologist jonathan haidt has found that nearly everyone is repelled by the prospect of brother-sister sex, even in hypothetical situations in which there is no chance of pregnancy).

the biological cost of incest

this raises an interesting question: just what’s so bad about incest? sure, having sex with your dad or your sister seems gross — but why? some anthropologists have argued that incest taboos are learned social conventions. this explanation, however, doesn’t make sense to me as it does not explain the widespread existence of anti-incest mechanisms in creatures ranging from cockroaches to chimpanzees. second, the incest taboo is about as close to a universal law as human moral rules get.

why should mechanisms to avoid incest be so widespread both in nature and across human societies? the answer is simple. the problem with having sex close with relatives is that there is an astonishingly high chance that your offspring will be born with a serious birth defect.

i feel as if they would both catch on before to long because they would see them to frequent
