The correct answer is

D- 4 watts

In fact, the different prefixes correspond to the following:

kilowatt: $1 kW = 10^3 W$

megawatt: $1 MW=10^6 W$

gigawatt: $1 GW=10^9 W$

Using the list above, we can convert all the options into Watts:

A) $1 GW=1 \cdot 10^9 W$

B) $2 kW=2 \cdot 10^3 W$

C) $3 MW=3 \cdot 10^6 W$

D) $4 W$

Therefore, the smallest quantity is D) 4 Watts.

<span>D is the correct answer. A watt is the smallest amount of power. The prefix kilo means a thousand, mega means a million and giga means a billion, so, in increasing size: watt - kilowatt - megawatt - gigawatt.</span>

Suppose someone pours 0.250 kg of 20.0ºC water (about a cup) into a 0.500-kg aluminum pan with a temperature of 150ºC. Assume th

Troyanec [42]

Answer : The temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is, $59.10^oC$

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

$q_1=-q_2$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)$

where,

$c_1$ = specific heat of aluminium = $0.90J/g^oC$

$c_2$ = specific heat of water = $4.184J/g^oC$

$m_1$ = mass of aluminum = 0.500 kg = 500 g

$m_2$ = mass of water = 0.250 kg = 250 g

$T_f$ = final temperature of mixture = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of aluminum = $150^oC$

$T_2$ = initial temperature of water = $20^oC$

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

$500g\times 0.90J/g^oC\times (T_f-150)^oC=-250g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (T_f-20)^oC$

$T_f=59.10^oC$

Therefore, the temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is, $59.10^oC$

Mary was looking out of the window she saw lightening and then heard thunder a few seconds later explain why she saw lightening

alekssr [168]

Explanation:

It is based upon the fact that " The light travels faster then sound." As the speed of light is faster then the speed of sound, light travels 300,000 km per second and sound travels 1192 km per hour. That is why we observe the lightening first and hear the the sound of thunder later.

You can do this experiment by yourself. Once you see the lightening start counting the seconds until you hear the sound of thunder.Then divide the seconds by 5, you will find out how many miles away the lightening strike was.

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Rhizobium.

Explanation:

The roots of most of these plants have nitrogen-fixing bacteria known as rhizobium. It helps to change nitrogen which is present in the air into the nitrates which are plants, and that is need to synthesize proteins.

Rhizobium bacteria occupy the root hairs which are present on the plants, they help the plant to grow and keep up with other plants. When the one plant dies, the fixed nitrogen which is present in it will release, and making it available for other plants, and this process helps to fertilize the soil in the environment.
