Answer:

Most igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks contain rubidium (Rb) and strontium (Sr) in detectable amounts. However, the concentrations of these elements are almost always less than 1 percent, and they are therefore rarely determined in routine chemical analyses. Neither rubidium nor strontium is a major constituent in the common rock-forming silicate minerals, although strontium does form a carbonate (strontianite) and a sulfate (celestite) which are found in some hydrothermal deposits and certain sedimentary rocks, particularly carbonates.

A gas balloon has a volume of 80.0 mL at 300K, and a pressure of 50.0 kPa. If the pressure changes to 80 kPa and the temperature
fomenos

Answer:  The new volume is 53.3 ml

Explanation:

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas =  50.0 kPa

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 80.0 kPa

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 80.0 ml

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 300K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 320K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{50.0\times 80.0}{300}=\frac{80.0\times V_2}{320}

V_2=53.3ml

The new volume is 53.3 ml

As the pendulum moves from point 2 to point 3, what happens to its mechanical energy?potential energy is converted to kinetic en
ahrayia [7]

Answer: Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy and back again.

Explanation:At points 1 and 3, the pendulum stops moving, and its mechanical energy is purely potential. At point 2, the pendulum is moving the fastest, and its mechanical energy is purely kinetic. Therefore, as the pendulum moves from point 1 to point 3, its potential energy is first converted to kinetic energy, then back to potential.
