Answer:

14°C

Explanation:

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of an object. It is measured using an instrument called THERMOMETER. There are different units of measuring temperature which are interconvertible. The units are Fahrenheit (°F), Celsius (°C), Kelvin (K) etc.

In this question, the thermometer reads 57°F. To convert this temperature reading to °C, we use the formula:

[°C] = ([°F] − 32) × 5/9

Hence,

[°C] = (57− 32) × 5/9

[°C] = (25) × 5/9

[°C] = 125/9

= 13.888888

Hence, 57°F approximated to the nearest whole number will be 14°C.

George determines the mass of his evaporating dish to be 3.375 g. He adds a solid sample to the evaporating dish, and the mass o

zhannawk [14.2K]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Mass of evaporating dish = 3.375 g

Total mass = Mass of solid sample + evaporating dish

That is, Mass of solid sample + evaporating dish = 26.719 g

Therefore, we will calculate the mass of solid sample as follows.

Mass of solid sample = (Mass of solid sample + evaporating dish) - mass of evaporating dish

= 26.719 g – 3.375 g

= 23.344 g

Thus, we can conclude that mass of his solid sample must be 23.344 g.

A radio station's channel, such as 100.7 fm or 92.3 fm, is actually its frequency in megahertz (mhz), where 1mhz=106 hz and 1hz=

AURORKA [14]

The frequency of the radio station is
$f=88.7 fm= 88.7 MHz = 88.7 \cdot 10^6 Hz$

For radio waves (which are electromagnetic waves), the relationship between frequency f and wavelength $\lambda$ is
$\lambda= \frac{c}{f}$
where c is the speed of light. Substituting the frequency of the radio station, we find the wavelength:
$\lambda= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{88.7 \cdot 10^6 Hz}=3.38 m$

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Your answer will be A

Explanation:

The Pacific Ocean is very cold, and a cup of hot chocolate is very hot (hence the name). More thermal energy entails a higher temperature, therefore the cup of hot chocolate has more thermal energy and a higher temperature.
