A compass taken to Earth’s moon does not point in a specific direction on the moon. What is the most likely reason for the diffe

rence between how the compass works on Earth and on the moon? The moon lacks an atmosphere. The moon contains no rocks that have iron. The moon does not have a liquid core. The moon has no bodies of water.

Most likely, C. the Moon does not have a liquid core (this is what would create a magnetic field) is correct.

I hope this enough to help you!

It's thought that electric currents in Earth's liquid core are what creates Earth's magnetic field.  The moon does not have a liquid core.

The result is:  The moon's magnetic field is thousands of times smaller than Earth's.  And plus, the moon's magnetic field exists only in certain places, and there are large parts of the moon's surface where there is no magnetic field.  

So a compass would have to be very sensitive to do ANYTHING on the moon, and even then, it wouldn't be useful for indicating any particular direction.

G of potassium reacts with 16 g of oxygen to produce 94 g of potassium oxide
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

78g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of oxygen gas = 16g

Mass of potassium oxide = 94g

Unknown:

Mass of reacting potassium = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to obtain a balanced reaction equation. Then determine the number of moles of the reactant and use it to find that of the other one.

Balanced equation:

                      4K +   O₂   →    2K₂O

  Number of moles of reacting oxygen;

       Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

molar mass of  O₂ = 2 x 16 = 32g/mole

     Number of moles = \frac{16}{32}  = 0.5mole

From the reaction equation;

          4 mole of K reacted with 1 mole of O₂;

           x mole of K will react with 0.5 mole of O₂

Therefore, 4 x 0.5 = 2 moles of potassium.

Mass of potassium = number of moles x molar mass

              Molar mass of potassium = 39g

Mass of potassium = 2 x 39 = 78g

I need to know the correct answer please ?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

675 Pa.

Explanation:

F = 5+2cos(15t) kN

Area (a) = 8*10-3 m2

Now at t =4 sec

            F= 5+2cos(60)

             = 5+2*0.5

              = 6  kN

Now ,force efficiency is 90%.

Hence,the effectively transmitted force,

            Fe = 0.90*6

                = 5.4 kN

Hence,pressure is given as,

            P = Fe/a

                = 5.4*10^3/(8 *10^-3))

              P = 675 Pa....answer

The internal energy of nmoles of an ideal gas depends on a. one state variable T.
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Correct option a. one state variable T.

Explanation:

In the case of an ideal gas it is shown that internal energy depends exclusively on temperature, since in an ideal gas any interaction between the molecules or atoms that constitute it is neglected, so that internal energy is only kinetic energy, which depends Only of the temperature. This fact is known as Joule's law.

The internal energy variation of an ideal gas (monoatomic or diatomic) between two states A and B is calculated by the expression:

ΔUAB = n × Cv × (TB - TA)

Where n is the number of moles and Cv the molar heat capacity at constant volume. Temperatures must be expressed in Kelvin.

An ideal gas will suffer the same variation in internal energy (ΔUAB) as long as its initial temperature is TA and its final temperature TB, according to Joule's Law, whatever the type of process performed.
