Explanation:

There are many kinds of prefixes which are used in the metric system. The most common prefixes that are used are :- mega, centi, milli, nano, kilo, fermi, pico, etc.

<em><u>These are used to designate a subdivision or a multiple of the unit in order to deal with very small numbers or very large numbers . All of these prefixes designate the power of 10. </u></em>

<em><u>For example, kilo represents 1000 of the unit.</u></em>

according to the third law if a football player hits another player with an action force of 1500n how much will the reaction for
djyliett [7]

Answer:

The reaction would be 1500n (equal reaction)

Explanation:

This can be explained by Newton's third law of motion which states that for every action (force), there is an opposite and equal reaction. In other words, when two objects or people come in contact, the magnitude of force which they exert on each other is equal and they both feel an equal reaction force.

It doesn't matter whether one of the colliding bodies is of bigger mass than the other.  This Newton's third law of motion is also known as the law of action and reaction.

The ph3 molecule is polar. does this offer experimental proof that the molecule cannot be planar? explain.
Alex
<span>Answer: if it was planar the center of the negative forces and the center of the positive forces would be at the same place, meaning no di-poles would form so it wouldnt be polar. as it is polar it therefore cannot be planar. the neagative center(pole) is above the the positive one due to the pair of unbonded electrons.</span>

A piece of silver releases 202.8 J of heat while cooling 65.0 °C. What is the mass of the sample? Silver has a specific heat of
KiRa [710]

Answer: 13 grams

Explanation:

The quantity of heat energy (Q) released from a heated substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Since,

Q = 202.8 Joules

Mass of silver = ?

C = 0.240 J/g °C.

Φ = 65°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

202.8J = M x 0.240 J/g °C x 65°C

202.8J = M x 15.6 J/g

M = (202.8J / 15.6 J/g)

M = 13 g

Thus, the mass of silver is 13 grams
