It will cover up all oxygen from the fire. And sand has no natural flammability because it is simply a crushed up mineral, so it can not make the fire any bigger.

Because the fire has no oxygen to expand. it's really suffocating it.

When 3.0 kg of water is warmed from 10 °C to 80 °C, how much heat energy is needed?
Naddik [55]

Answer:

THE HEAT NEEDED TO CHANGE 3KG OF WATER FROM 10 C TO 80 C IS 877.8kJ OR 877,800 J.

Explanation:

Mass = 3.0 kg = 3 * 1000 = 3000 g

Initial temperature = 10 C

Final temperature = 80 C

Change in temperature = 80 - 10 = 70 C

Specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g C

Heat needed = unknown

Heat is the amount of energy in joules needed to change a gram of water by 1 C.

Heat = mass * specific heat * change in temperature

Heat = 3000 g * 4.18 J/g C * 70 C

Heat = 877 800 Joules

Heat = 877.8 kJ.

The heat needed to change 3 kg mass of water from 10 C to 80 C is 877,800 J or 877.8 kJ.

True

Explanation:

Harry Hess in 1961 resurrected Wegener's continental drift hypothesis and also he mantle convection idea of Arthur Holmes by postulating the theory of sea floor spreading.

  • After Wegener's postulation of the continental drift hypothesis, not much was done.
  • It was only around 1931 that Arthur Holmes came up with the idea of a convecting mantle.
  • After the second world war passed, new instruments were used to investigate and map the ocean floor.
  • Through this, Arthur Holmes came up with the idea of a spreading sea floor.
  • This gave a full gleam picture to the idea of a moving earth and the more accepted terminology of "Plate tectonics " came to the fore.

An object has a mass of 20g and occupies a volume of 40 ml. Calculate the Density of the object.
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.5 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

From the question we have

density =  \frac{20}{40}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.5 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
