Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

c.an extinct oceanic hot-spot volcano that has subsided below sea level

Explanation:

- Marine geology defines a guyot as an isolated underwater volcanic mountain with a flat top more than 200m below the surface of the sea.

-The flat top is due to years of wave erosion.

-Guyots can form a chain of seamounts as the ocean plate of the Earth's crust moves slowly over a hot spot that remains stationary beneath the plate.

Can someone explain to me #4.

nalin [4]

A) We balance the masses: 4(1.00728) vs 4.0015 + 2(0.00055)4.02912 vs. 4.0026This shows a "reduced mass" of 4.02912 - 4.0026 = 0.02652 amu. This is also equivalent to 0.02652/6.02E23 = 4.41E-26 g = 4.41E-29 kg.
b) Using E = mc^2, where c is the speed of light, multiplying 4.41E-29 kg by (3E8 m/s)^2 gives 3.96E-12 J of energy.
c) Since in the original equation, there is only 1 helium atom, we multiply the energy result in b) by 9.21E19 to get 3.65E8 J of energy, or 365 MJ of energy.

A calorimeter is used to determine the specific heat capacity of a test metal. If the specific heat capacity of water is known,

denis23 [38]

Answer:

initial and final temperatures of both the water and metal, mass of the metal, and mass of the water

Explanation:

Heat lost by the metal, $Q = mc(t_{2} - t_{1})$

Heat gained by the water in the calorimeter, $Q_{w} = m_{w}c_{w}(t_{2w} - t_{1w})$

For energy to be conserved in the system, the heat lost by the metal will equal the heat gain by the water in the calorimeter.

$mc(t_{2} - t_{1}) = m_{w}c_{w}(t_{2w} - t_{1w})$

Where,

m is the mass of the metal

c is specific heat capacity of the metal

t₂ is the final temperature of the metal

t₁ is the initial temperature of the metal

$m_{w}$ is the mass of the water

$c_{w}$ is specific heat capacity of water

$t_{2w}$ is the final temperature of water

$t_{1w}$ is the initial temperature of water

From the question given, specific heat capacity of the water is known, the quantities to be measured are;

Initial and final temperatures of both the water and metal,

Mass of the metal, and mass of the water

Why are the plates in a capacitor parallel to each other?

TiliK225 [7]

To have a uniform field. The field is the voltage between the plates divided by the distance between the plates. If the distance varies so would the field between them.
