Answer: The internal heat energy of the boat heat engine, metamorphoses into mechanical workdone that causes the boat to move.

Explanation: First law of thermodynamics tells us that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed from one form to another.

The internal heat energy of the boat heat engine, metamorphoses into mechanical workdone that causes the boat to move.

According to the second law of thermodynamics which state that when energy changes from one form to another form, or matter moves freely, entropy (disorder) in a closed system increases. Differences in temperature, pressure, and density tend to even out horizontally after a while

galina1969 [7]
To establish the age of a rock or a fossil, researchers use some type of clock to determine the date it was formed. Geologists commonly use radiometric dating methods, based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon, as reliable clocks to date ancient events.

THE RIGHT ANSWER WILL RECEIVE A BRAINLESS AND POINTS AND THANKS!!! THE RIGHT ANSWER WILL RECEIVE A BRAINLESS AND POINTS AND THAN
timurjin [86]

Answer:

f_{o} = 391.67 Hz

Explanation:

The sound of lowest frequency which is produced by a vibrating sting is called its fundamental frequency (f_{o}).

The For a vibrating string, the fundamental frequency (f_{o}) can be determined by:

f_{o} = \frac{v}{2L}

Where v is the speed of waves of the string, and L is the length of the string.

L = 42.0 cm = 0.42 m

v = 329 m/s

f_{o} = \frac{329}{2*0.42}

   = \frac{329}{0.84}

f_{o} = 391.6667 Hz

The fundamental frequency of the string is 391.67 Hz.

When heather grabbed the glass of ice water, the ice cubes were floating at the top. why were the ice cubes floating in the wate
tiny-mole [99]
The ice cubes were floating in water because they are less dense than liquid water. When water is frozen, a structure that is crystalline is formed that is held by hydrogen bonding. Due to the orientation of these bonds, the moleules would push far away from each other causing it to have a bigger volume and a lower density.
