Borrowing from the tradition of the ancient Greeks, the first ones
who tried to describe the brightness of stars with numbers ...

                        6 magnitudes  =  a ratio of 100 .

In more modern notation . . .

                       1 magnitude = ratio of    (100) ^ (1/6)

                                             =  about  2.154...

                 9.6 magnitudes  =  (100) ^ (9.6/6) 

                                             =  100¹·⁶ 

                                             =   1,584.89  (rounded)

Elden [556K]
The answer is B. build up of plant materials. This is because those rocks that are composed of materials, which are organic matters from decaying plants, formed by biological activity are called biogenic or organic or non-clastic rocks. On the other hand, clastic rocks are made up of gravel, sand, silt, and clay.

A piece of glass has a temperature of 72.0 degrees Celsius. The specific heat capacity of the glass is 840 J/kg/deg C. A liquid
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

741 J/kg°C

Explanation:

Given that

Initial temperature of glass, T(g) = 72° C

Specific heat capacity of glass, c(g) = 840 J/kg°C

Temperature of liquid, T(l)= 40° C

Final temperature, T(2) = 57° C

Specific heat capacity of the liquid, c(l) = ?

Using the relation

Heat gained by the liquid = Heat lost by the glass

m(l).C(l).ΔT(l) = m(g).C(g).ΔT(g)

Since their mass are the same, then

C(l)ΔT(l) = C(g)ΔT(g)

C(l) = C(g)ΔT(g) / ΔT(l)

C(l) = 840 * (72 - 57) / (57 - 40)

C(l) = 12600 / 17

C(l) = 741 J/kg°C
