Answer: Shield volcano is a broad, gently sloping, explosive volcano which is comprised of basaltic magma.

Shield volcano is normally not explosive but if somehow water comes in contact with this basaltic magma, then it turns into a more violent, explosive volcanoes, producing pyroclastic materials such as lapilli, lava bombs and block.

What is the internal energy of 2.00 mol of diatomic hydrogen gas (H2) at 35°C?

djyliett [7]

As you mentioned, we will use Equipartition Theorem.
H2 has 5 degrees of freedom; 3 translations and 2 rotation
Therefore:
Internal energy = (5/2) nRT
You just substitute in the equation with the values of R and T and calculate the internal energy as follows:
Internal energy = (5/2) x 2 x 8.314 x 308 = 32.0089 x 10^3 J

A student gives a 5.0 kg box a brief push causing the box to move with an initial speed of 8.0 m/s along a rough surface. The bo

Answer:

The time taken to stop the box equals 1.33 seconds.

Explanation:

Since frictional force always acts opposite to the motion of the box we can find the acceleration that the force produces using newton's second law of motion as shown below:

$F=mass\times acceleration\\\\\therefore acceleration=\frac{Force}{mass}$
