Answer: D=8.27 g/cm³

Explanation:

Density is mass/volume. Mass is in grams and volume is in liters. In this case, the problem wants our volume to be in cm³. All we need to do is to make some conversions to convert kg/m³ to g/cm³.

$D=\frac{38.3kg}{0.00463m^3} *\frac{(1m)^3}{(100cm)^3} *\frac{1000g}{1kg}$

With this equation, the m³ and kg cancel out, and we are left with g/cm³.

D=8.27 g/cm³

Answer:

See the answer beloew, please.

Explanation:

The concepts of heat and temperature are related, but they are not the same. Temperature refers to a physical quantity which indicates the amount of heat. The latter corresponds to the energy that moves from one body to another, thus being able to raise or lower the temperature.

A hydroelectric dam produces renewable energy for the local area. Which best explains why more hydroelectric dams are not built?

romanna [79]

Answer:

The dam disrupts the river wildlife and ecosystem.

Explanation:

Though it is believed that using the dam as a power generation or hydroelectric power supply generates no greenhouse gases, it, however, has many disadvantages which make it deemed not suitable or sustainable for use in the contemporary time.

Majorly, the top reason why more hydroelectric dams are not built is that "the dam disrupts the river wildlife and ecosystem."

Also, it affects the water quality and other use of water for humans such as recreational use.

There is also a possible chance of dams producing methane; a greenhouse gas through the organic materials in the water that is rotting.

What is the value of 1.5 ATM of gas at 20°C and a 3 L vessel are heated at 30°C at a pressure of 5.2 ATM

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The answer will be approximately 1.0L

Explanation:

The problem has not been properly specified. You could have specified a gas in a PISTON, whose volume would decrease with increased pressure, and increase with increased temperature.

For such a system, we would use the

combined gas law:

$\frac{P1V1}{T1}$ = $\frac{P2V2}{T2}$
