Volume of water required to store 100,000 Btu of thermal energy is 320.51foot^{3} .

<u>Explanation:</u>

The complete question is : One cubic foot of water can store 312 Btu of thermal energy. On a cold winter day a well-constructed home may require 100,000 Btu of nighttime space heating. What is the volume of water required to store this energy? In this question , it's given that One cubic foot of water can store 312 Btu of thermal energy or 312 Btu takes 1 cubic foot of water ,So

1 Btu takes  \frac{1}{312} cubic foot of water

Therefore, 100,000 Btu takes:

⇒ volume = \frac{1}{312}(100,000) foot^{3}

⇒ volume = \frac{100,000}{312} foot^{3}

⇒ volume = 320.51 foot^{3}

∴ Volume of water required to store 100,000 Btu of thermal energy is 320.51foot^{3} .

What is the difference between a physical change and a chemical change
Contact [7]
A physical change in something doesn't change what the it is. For example, if you break glass, it will still be glass. In a chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new thing is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed. For example, when you burn a log. The carbon in the log is reacting to the oxygen to create ashe and smoke

If the Earth and distant stars were stationary (motionless) in space, what would we observe about the wavelength from these star
torisob [31]
There's no such thing as "stationary in space".  But if the distance
between the Earth and some stars is not changing, then (A) w<span>avelengths
measured here would match the actual wavelengths emitted from these
stars. </span><span>

</span><span>If a star is moving toward us in space, then (A) Wavelengths measured
would be shorter than the actual wavelengths emitted from that star.

</span>In order to decide what's actually happening, and how that star is moving, 
the trick is:  How do we know the actual wavelengths the star emitted ?

Describe ehat happens at the molecular level during meilting
Marta_Voda [28]
The molecules of a solid vibrate faster so that they start spreading out to become a liquid. This energy makes them vibrate faster so the bonds between molecules can't interact all that well anymore creating more distance. The stronger the bonds between the molecules the higher the energy (temperature) has to be to get them away from each other. Hope I didn't confuse you too much!
