The three most normal units of estimation for temperature are Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.

A thermometer is an instrument that measures temperature. It can gauge the temperature of a strong, for example, food, fluid like water, or gas like air.

The Celsius scale is important for the decimal measuring standard. The decimal standard of estimation additionally incorporates units of mass, like kilograms, and units of length, like kilometers. Most logical fields measure temperature utilizing the Celsius scale. Zero degrees Celsius is the edge of freezing over water, and 100 degrees Celsius is the limit of water. Three countries don't utilize the Celsius scale. The United States, Burma, and Liberia utilize the Fahrenheit scale to quantify temperature. In any case, even in these nations, researchers utilize the Celsius or kelvin scale to gauge temperature. Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit and bubbles at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. The Kelvin scale is utilized by physicists and different researchers who need to record exceptionally exact temperatures. The Kelvin scale is the main unit of estimation to incorporate the temperature for "outright zero," the complete shortfall of any intensity energy.

A meter stick is balanced at the 50 cm mark. You tie a 20 N weight at the 20 cm mark. Where should a 30 N weight be placed so th
vivado [14]

Answer:

20 cm to the right of the center or 20+50 = 70 cm from the left side.

Explanation:

The length of meter stick is 1 m = 100 cm

Balance point on 50 cm

From the center the 20 N weight is 50-20 = 30 cm

Torque is obtained when force is multiplied with the distance

As the force is conserved we have

\dfrac{20}{30}\times 30=20\ cm

The distance will be 20 cm to the right of the center or 20+50 = 70 cm from the left side.

Design a diagram, sketch, or other model to show changes in the nucleus of an atom during nuclear fission and fusion. Include a
Drupady [299]

Explanation:

Inside the sun, fusion reactions take place at very high temperatures and enormous gravitational pressures

The foundation of nuclear energy is harnessing the power of atoms. Both fission and fusion are nuclear processes by which atoms are altered to create energy, but what is the difference between the two? Simply put, fission is the division of one atom into two, and fusion is the combination of two lighter atoms into a larger one. They are opposing processes, and therefore very different.

The word fission means "a splitting or breaking up into parts" (Merriam-Webster Online, www.m-w.com). Nuclear fission releases heat energy by splitting atoms. The surprising discovery that it was possible to make a nucleus divide was based on Albert Einstein’s prediction that mass could be changed into energy. In 1939, scientist began experiments, and one year later Enrico Fermi built the first nuclear reactor.

A tank is 10 m long, 8 m wide, 4 m high, and contains kerosene with density 820 kg/m3 to a depth of 3.5 m. (Use 9.8 m/s2 for the
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

28,126pascal

Explanation:

Hydrostatic pressure exerted on the bottom of the tank can be calculated using the formula

P = hpg where;

h is the depth of the tank = 3.5m

p is the density of the kerosene = 820kg/m³

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Substituting the values into the formula we have;

P = 3.5×820×9.8

P = 28,126Pascal

Calculate the energy released in joules when one mole of polonium-214 decays according to the following equation21484 Po -->
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

ΔE = 8.77 × 10¹¹ J

Explanation:

given,

²¹⁴₈₄Po -----> ²¹⁰₈₂Pb + 42 He

Atomic masses: Pb-210 = 209.98284 amu

Po-214 = 213.99519 amu

He-4 = 4.00260 amu

1 kg = 6.022 × 10²⁶ amu;

NA = 6.022 × 10²³ mol⁻¹

c = 2.99792458 × 10⁸ m/s

energy of molecule using equation

ΔE = Δm c²

Δm is mass difference and c is speed of light

Δm = 209.98284 + 4.00260 - 213.99519

Δm = - 0.00975 amu

1 amu = 1.66 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

- 0.00975 amu = - 0.00975 x 1.66 x 10⁻²⁷ Kg

                         = -0.016185 x 10⁻²⁷ Kg

total mass = 6.022 × 10²³ x -0.016185 x 10⁻²⁷

                 = -0.097467 x 10⁻⁴ Kg

ΔE = -(0.097467 x 10⁻⁴) (3 x 10^8)²

ΔE = - 8.77 × 10¹¹

ΔE = 8.77 × 10¹¹ J

What does energy give objects the ability to do?
Tasya [4]
Well, <span>according to the laws of physic energy can neither be created nor destroyed only transformed, this means that when for example gas burns the energy released is transformed into heat and forward momentum pushing the car forward.
