1) draw a diagram.
2) label diagram. (split the 100 degrees into 50, (which is right down the middle)  to make a right angle triangle.)
3) since its a free body diagram, the forces known must be labelled. (force of gravity). this shows that the straight vertical line of the right angle triangle is Fg (force gravity). label it.
4) use trigonometry. rearrange the equation to solve for what needs to be known.
 
angles known: 50 (split 100 in half to make a right angle triangle), 90 (since its right angle), and 40 (180-90-50 = 40)

sides known: vertical lined up with the 90 degree angle. Fg. --> fg=mg=500N x 9.81m/s^2 = 4905N

use formula: sin or cos 

i used sin. sin(40) = 4905 / ?
- times '?' on both sides. :  sin(40) x '?' = 4905
-divide both sides by sin(40):  '?' = 4905/ sin(40)
--> Solve.

A person wishes to heat pot of fresh water from 20°C to 100°C in order to boil water for pasta. They calculate that their pot ho
nasty-shy [4]
Given:
Water, 2 kilograms
T1 = 20 degrees Celsius, T2 = 100 degrees Celsius.  

Required:
Heat produced  

Solution:
Q (heat) = nRT = nR(T2 = T1)
Q (heat) = 2 kilograms (4.184 kiloJoules per kilogram Celsius) (100 degrees Celsius – 20 degrees Celsius)
<u>Q (heat) = 669.42 Joules
</u>This is the amount of heat produced in boiling 2 kg of water.

What’s the difference between mechanical and chemical weathering
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Mechanical weathering is the physical breakdown of rock into smaller pieces. Chemical weathering is the breakdown of rock by chemical processes.

Explanation:

Mechanical weathering (also called physical weathering) breaks rock into smaller pieces. These smaller pieces are just like the bigger rock, just smaller. That means the rock has changed physically without changing its composition. The smaller pieces have the same minerals, in just the same proportions as the original rock.

Chemical weathering is the other important type of weathering. Chemical weathering is different from mechanical weathering because the rock changes, not just in size of pieces, but in composition Chemical weathering works through chemical reactions that cause changes in the minerals.
