4 0

Answer:

A calorie is a unit of energy. In nutrition, calories refer to the energy people get from the food and drink they consume, and the energy they use in physical activity. Calories are listed in the nutritional information on all food packaging. Many weight loss programs center around reducing the intake of calories.

The planet Mercury takes 176 days to do one spin around its pole. Compared to the Earth,
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The sun would appear to move more slowly across Mercury's sky.

Explanation:

This is because, the time it takes to do one spin or revolution on Mercury is 176 days (which is its period), whereas, the time it takes to do one spin or revolution on the Earth is 1 day.

Since the angular speed ω = 2π/T where T = period

So on  Mercury, T' = 176days = 176 days × 24 hr/day × 60 min/hr × 60 s/min = ‭15,206,400‬ s

So, ω' = 2π/T'

= 2π/15,206,400‬ s

= 4.132 × 10⁻⁷ rad/s

So on  Earth, T" = 1 day = 1 day × 24 hr/day × 60 min/hr × 60 s/min = ‭‭86,400‬ s

So, ω" = 2π/T"

= 2π/86,400‬ s

= 7.272 × 10⁻⁵ rad/s

Since ω' = 4.132 × 10⁻⁷ rad/s << ω" = 7.272 × 10⁻⁵ rad/s, <u>the sun would appear to move more slowly across Mercury's sky.</u>

Explain how the following experimental errors affect the final calculation of the kilocalories per gram for a food item. Be spec
Ainat [17]

Answer:

a) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less because the mass was reduced

b)the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less since

c) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less since the reaction will eventually go to completion

d) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be more.

Explanation:

a) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less because the mass was reduced from 110.3 to 101.3g

b)the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less since some marshmallow fell off before the reaction

c) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less since the reaction will eventually go to completion

d) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be more since the thermometer that got stuck will add to the value of final kilocalories per gram

An element has three naturally occurring isotopes. ten percent (.10) occurs as 55^x, fifteen percent (.15) occurs as isotope 56^
Leviafan [203]
The average atomic weight is, from the name itself, the average weight of all its naturally occurring isotopes. All you have to do is multiple the abundance of each isotope with its individual mass, then add them altogether.

Mass = (0.10*55)+(0.15*56)+(.75*57)
<em>Mass = 56.65 amu</em>
