The correct answer is A. Mike joined a group that studies phrenology.

Explanation:

In science, a "pseudoscience" refers to practices and believes that have been claimed scientific but have not been proved or do not follow the scientific method to be considered as real science. Because of this pseudosciences are mainly considered as invalid and are not officially recognized by science. An example of this is astrology as this states the movements of celestial bodies influence human and life and therefore can be used for prediction. Considering this, the statement that is an example of pseudoscience is "Mike joined a group that studies phrenology" because phrenology is a set of beliefs and practices that focus on  measuring the skull to determine mental abilities, issues, etc but this was never proved through the scientific method and therefore nowadays is just a pseudoscience.

In which of the following examples is kinetic energy changing into potential energy?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

B.  A rolling ball moves uphill.

Explanation:

A rolling ball moving uphill is a typical example of how kinetic energy is changing in to potential energy

Kinetic energy is the energy due to a body in motion.

Potential energy is the energy at rest in a stationary body.

Potential energy is dependent on the mass, height and acceleration due to gravity on a body;

         P. E  = mgh

A ball moving uphill will have its height increasing and this will cause surge in potential energy.

Kinetic energy on the other hand depends on the mass and velocity of a body;

               K.E  = \frac{1}{2} m v²

A ball moving up slope will have the velocity reducing and the kinetic energy reducing.

Therefore, ball rolling uphill will be decreasing in kinetic energy but increasing in potential energy.

Igneous rock is formed by cooling magma. Sedimentary rock is formed through the lithification process of cementing, compacting, and hardening of the sediments. Metamorphic rock is formed by metamorphosis of igneous and sedimentary rocks.

If 1.0 mol of N2 and 3.0 mol of H2 in a closed container initially at STP react completely in the reaction shown below, then the
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

p_f=0.5atm

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen produces ammonia:

N_2+3H_2\rightarrow 2NH_3

We can compute the volume of the container by using the ideal gas law at STP (1 atm and 273.15 K):

V=\frac{4.0mol*0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*273.15K}{1atm}=89.7L

Next, since nitrogen and hydrogen are in a 1:3 mole ratio, we understand all the nitrogen and hydrogen are consumed and only ammonia remains at the end of the reaction in the following amount:

n_{NH_3}=1.0molN_2*\frac{2molNH_3}{1molN_2} =2.0molNH_3

Thus, the final pressure turns out:

p_f=\frac{2.0mol*0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*273.15K}{89.7L}\\\\p_f=0.5atm

Best regards!
