Density of object made of 2 different meterials?

Still the object's mass divided by the object's volume.The density of the composite object will be somewhere between the densitiesof the two different materials.


Does the same amount of different material need the same amount of heat to have the same change in temperature?

No, different materials have different specific heat capacities, which refers to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of that material by one degree Celsius. So, the same amount of different materials would not need the same amount of heat to achieve the same change in temperature.


Which tool would would help you measure how different colors absorb the energy in sunlight?

A spectrophotometer is a tool that could help measure how different colors absorb the energy in sunlight by analyzing the specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed and reflected by different materials.


Sound travels the slowest through which of these?

The speed of sound in a material is dependent on several factors. Basically it travels through denser materials at a different rate than rarefied materials, through compressible materials at a different rate than incompressible materials, and through stiffer materials at a different rate than nonrigid materials. A slower velocity of sound would be noted in a dense, compressible nonrigid material.


Why is it important to that some materials allow light to pass through them and some materials do not?

It is important because materials that allow light to pass through them can be used for windows, optical devices, and display screens. On the other hand, materials that do not allow light to pass through them can be used for privacy, protection, and insulation purposes. The optical properties of materials play a crucial role in various applications across different industries.
