A hot plate is an adjustable heating source which is ideal for heating beakers, erlenmeyer flasks, hot water baths, and other flat-bottomed containers. It is essentially an el…ectric stove top that is used in the laboratory. The temperature is adjustable (usually on a scale of 0 to 10) and there is very often a built in spinning magnetic stirrer (to be used in combination with a magnetic star bar) so that you can efficiently stir a solution while heating it. Some have computer controllers to maintain the temperature at an exact level (for instance when using a water or oil bath). A hot plate or heating mantle should always be used in place of a Bunsen burner or other open-flame source to heat a flammable liquid. See the Related Questions and Web Links to the left for more information.

Hot spots are fixed locations in the earth's mantle where heat from the earth's interior rises to the surface and produces volcanism. the earth's plates, which are slowly but constantly moving, are pierced by the uprising magma. as they move away form the hotspot, the volcanoes become dormant and are replaces by new volcanoes. The direction of the line formed from the previous volcanoes indicates the direction :)))

If the intensity of a loud car horn is 0.005 W/m^2 when you are 2 meters away from the source. Calculate the sound intensity lev

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

We have given the intensity of the loud car horn $I=0.005w/m^2$

We know that $I_O=10^{-12}w/m^2$

Now the sound intensity level is given by $\beta =10log\frac{I}{I_0}=10log\frac{0.005}{10^{-12}}=96.98dB$ , which is nearly equal to 97

So the sound intensity level will be 97 dB

So option (c) will be the correct option

In your own words, explain why sinkholes are very common in Florida. List one use of sinkholes in Florida.

melamori03 [73]

Florida's peninsula is made up of porous carbonate rocks such as limestone When the dirt, clay or sand gets too heavy for the limestone roof, it can break and form a sinkhole. Sinkholes are caused naturally.

dont use my words put this in your own hope it helps you understand it better

What are the constituent metals of stainless steel?

bogdanovich [222]

Stainless steel is a metal alloy that made up mainly of carbon and chromium. In combination with low carbon contents, chromium is highly reactive element that imparts remarkable resistance to corrosion and heat.

Moreover, stainless steel is mixed up with sufficient nickel, which is an essential allying element in the series of stainless steel grades. Other components are manganese, molybdenum, silicon, titanium, aluminum, niobium, copper, nitrogen, and sulfur.
