We are discussing the minimum wage.

The Fair Labor Standards Act establishing a national minimum wage was enacted in 1938. The minimum wage was set at 25¢ an hour. Here is a history of changes in federal minimum wage (source: https://bebusinessed.com/history/history-of-minimum-wage/)

On this discussion board, discuss if the minimum wage should be eliminated, remain as is or be increased. Be specific with your position and support your position with facts, logic and specific examples.

Which of the following is true?

if you transfer heat energy to a perfectly insulated cup of some liquid (no heat energy can be transferred in or out through the walls) what determines how much the temperature changes? Does it depend on how much heat energy you transfer, how much liquid there is in the cup, what the liquid is, or what the initial temerpature of the liquid is? Which of these factors do you think make a differnce in how much the temperture rises?
