Answer:

Seismic waves

Explanation:

The seismic P and S waves are two waves that releases energy during propagation, resulting in the sudden shaking of the earth, which is commonly known as the earthquake.

The point from which the earthquake originates, is known as the focus and the location that is directly above the focus, on the ground surface is known as the epicenter.

The P waves and S waves are primary and secondary waves respectively. The P waves are characterized by the contraction and expansion in its direction of propagation. Whereas the S waves are shear waves.

d) A short ton of coal holds about 2.24 x 107 J of energy and costs about $56.45 per short ton. How many Joules of energy in the
Feliz [49]

Answer:

396811.337 J

Explanation:

The cost of one short ton of coal = $56.45

The energy related to the short ton of coal = 2.24\times 10^{7}\ J

Thus, As according to the question,

$56.45 of coal have 2.24\times 10^{7}\ J of energy.

$1 of coal have \frac{2.24\times 10^{7}}{56.45}\ J of energy.

<u>The amount of energy = 396811.337 J</u>

Calculate the molar mass of NH4NO3. Molar mass of NH4NO3 = g/mol.
bija089 [108]

The molar mass of NH4NO3 in g/mol is 80g/mol.

HOW TO CALCULATE MOLAR MASS:

The molar mass of a compound can be calculated by summing the atomic masses of its constituent elements.

In ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), there are nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen elements.

  • Atomic mass of nitrogen = 14
  • Atomic mass of oxygen = 16
  • Atomic mass of hydrogen = 1

Molar mass of NH4NO3 = 14 + 1(4) + 14 + 16(3)

Molar mass of NH4NO3 = 80g/mol

  • Therefore, the molar mass of NH4NO3 in g/mol is 80g/mol.

(20 POINTS!!) please help me write a short reference page on chemical bonds (anything helps)
Shtirlitz [24]

Explanation:An ionic bond essentially donates an electron to the other atom participating in the bond, while electrons in a covalent bond are shared equally between the atoms. The only pure covalent bonds occur between identical atoms. ... Ionic bonds form between a metal and a nonmetal. Covalent bonds form between two nonmetals.
