Distance and displacement are two quantities that may seem to mean the same thing yet have distinctly different definitions and meanings.

Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.

Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

What is the relationship between the electric field strength at a point and its distances from the source charge?

diamong [38]

Explanation:

The intensity of electric field from a certain point that is assumed is proportional inversely to the square of distance’s magnitude from source. As one can see the electric field intensity is proportional inversely. Then the increase in magnitude of the space between source charge the electric field intensity decreases.

Since the proportionality is to square of distance, hence change or increase in distance is squared and that many times intensity of electric field decreases. So relation between them is inverse proportionality.

A Calorie unit used in food is equal to the amount of energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water ________

Kitty [74]

A Calorie unit used in food is equal to the amount of energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by <u>1</u> degrees Celsius.

<h3>What is One Calorie ?</h3>

The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature by 1 gram of water through 1°C is known as One Calorie.

1 Calorie = 4.18 J

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that A Calorie unit used in food is equal to the amount of energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by <u>1</u> degrees Celsius.

How do you find the amount of moles is .032 grams of water and whats the answer

masha68 [24]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.0018 \ mol \ H_2 O }}$

Explanation:

First, we need to find the molecular mass of water (H₂O).

H₂O has:

2 Hydrogen atoms (subscript of 2)
1 Oxygen atom (implied subscript of 1)

Use the Periodic Table to find the mass of hydrogen and oxygen. Then, multiply by the number of atoms of the element.

Hydrogen: 1.0079 g/mol
Oxygen: 15.9994 g/mol

There are 2 hydrogen atoms, so multiply the mass by 2.

2 Hydrogen: (1.0079 g/mol)(2)= 2.0158 g/mol

Now, find the mass of H₂O. Add the mass of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.

2.0158 g/mol + 15.9994 g/mol = 18.0152 g/mol

Next, find the amount of moles using the molecular mass we just calculated. Set up a ratio.

$0.032 \ g \ H_2 O* \frac{ 1 \ mol \ H_2 O}{18.0152 \ g \ H_2 O}$

Multiply. The grams of H₂O will cancel out.

$0.032 * \frac{1 \ mol \ H_2 O}{18.0152 }$

$\frac{0.032 *1 \ mol \ H_2 O}{18.0152 }$

$0.00177627781 \ mol \ H_2 O$

The original measurement given had two significant figures (3,2). We must round to have 2 significant figures. All the zeroes before the 1 are not significant. So, round to the ten thousandth.

The 7 in the hundred thousandth place tells us to round up.

$0.0018 \ mol \ H_2 O$

There are about <u>0.0018 moles in 0.032 grams.</u>
