Answer:
meter per second
Explanation:
It could be any other unit such as yard or feet, put it will be whatever measure per second or whatever time.
Examples
feet per second
miles per hour
Convection currents occur in the magma drive plate tectonics. Here heat is generated from the radioactive decay of elements in the interior of the Earth, creating magma in the asthenosphere.
Answer:
1.84 kJ (kilojoules)
Explanation:
A specific heat of 0.46 J/g Cº means that it takes 0.46 Joules of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of iron by 1 Cº.
If we want to heat 50 g of iron from 20° C to 100° C, we can make the following calculation:
Heat = (specific heat)*(mass)*(temp change)
Heat = (0.46 J/g Cº)*(50g)*(100° C - 20° C)
[Note how the units cancel to yield just Joules]
Heat = 1840 Joules, or 1.84 kJ
[Note that the number is positive: Energy is added to the system. If we used cold iron to cool 50g of 100° C water, the temperature change would be (Final - Initial) or (20° C - 100° C). The number is -1.84 kJ: the negative means heat was removed from the system (the iron).
Answer:
Explanation:
We can use Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation to solve this problem:
., where 
is acceleration due to gravity at the planet's surface, 
is gravitational constant 
, 
is the mass of the planet, and 
is the radius of the planet.
Since acceleration due to gravity is given as 
, our radius should be meters. Therefore, convert 
kilometers to meters:
.
Now plugging in our values, we get:
,
Solving for :
.
