A supertanker filled with oil has a total mass of 6.1 x108 kg. If the dimensions of the ship are those of a rectangular box 300

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The bottom of the sea is 25 m below sea level.

Explanation:

Given data

Mass = 6.1 × $10^{8} \ kg$

$\rho_{sea} = 1020\ \frac{kg}{m^{3} }$

We know that Buoyant force on the tank is equal to gravity force of the tank.

$F_B = F_g$

$(\rho_{Fluid}) (g) (V_{disp}) = m g$

$(\rho_{Fluid}) (V_{disp}) = m$

1020 × $V_{disp}$ = 6.1 × $10^{8}$

$V_{disp}$ = 598039.21 $m^{3}$

We know that

$V_{disp}$ = W × L × H

598039.21 = 300 × 80 × H

H = 25 m

Therefore the bottom of the sea is 25 m below sea level.

Heat transfers energy from a hot object to a cold object. Both objects are isolated from their surroundings. The change in entro

aniked [119]

To develop this problem we will start from the definition of entropy as a function of total heat, temperature. This definition is mathematically described as

$S = \frac{Q}{T}$

Here,

Q = Total Heat

T = Temperature

The total change of entropy from a cold object to a hot object is given by the relationship,

$\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T_{cold}}-\frac{Q}{T_{hot}}$

From this relationship we can realize that the change in entropy by the second law of thermodynamics will be positive. Therefore the temperature in the hot body will be higher than that of the cold body, this implies that this term will be smaller than the first, and in other words it would imply that the magnitude of the entropy 'of the hot body' will always be less than the entropy 'cold body'

Change in entropy $\Delta S_{hot}$ is smaller than $\Delta S_{cold}$

Therefore the correct answer is C. Will always have a smaller magnitude than the change in entropy of the cold object

Saturn has an orbital period of 29.46 years. In two or more complete sentences, explain how to calculate the average distance fr

d1i1m1o1n [39]

For astronomical objects, the time period can be calculated using:
T² = (4π²a³)/GM
where T is time in Earth years, a is distance in Astronomical units, M is solar mass (1 for the sun)
Thus,
T² = a³
a = ∛(29.46²)
a = 0.67 AU
1 AU = 1.496 × 10⁸ Km
0.67 * 1.496 × 10⁸ Km
= 1.43 × 10⁹ Km

How does an atom change if all of its electros are removed?

kogti [31]

The atom becomes positively charged.

EXPLANATION :

When all the electrons are removed from the atom, the atom contains only protons and neutrons. The neutron is a neutral nucleon. ...

Hence, the correct answer is that atom will be positively charged.
