Answer:

Melt.

Explanation:

When rocks melt, they do so slowly and gradually because most rocks are made of several minerals, which all have different melting points; moreover, the physical and chemical relationships controlling the melting are complex. As a rock melts, for example, its volume changes. When enough rock is melted, the small globules of melt link up and soften the rock.

Under normal conditions, mantle rock like peridotite shouldn't melt in the Earth's upper mantle. However, by adding water you can lower the melting point of the rock. Alternatively, by decompressing the rock, you can bring it to a pressure where the melting point is lower. In both cases, basalt magma will form and considering it is hotter and less dense than the surrounding rock, it will percolate towards the surface and some of that erupts.

39. When you heat a flask of water, how are you changing the ordered kinetic energy of the

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The average kinetic energy of the molecules increases

Explanation:

The temperature of a substance is proportional to the average kinetic energy of the particles in the substance.

In fact, for an ideal gas for instance, there is the following relationship:

$KE=\frac{3}{2}kT$

where

KE is the average kinetic energy of the particles

k is the Boltzmann's constant

T is the absolute temperature of the gas

When we heat a substance (such as the flask of water in this problem), we are giving thermal energy to the particles of the substance; therefore, these particles will move faster on average, so their kinetic energy will increase (and the temperature of the substance will increase as well).

A sealed test tube traps 25.0 cm3 of air at a pressure of 1.00 atm and temperature of 18°C. The test tube’s stopper has a diamet

puteri [66]

Answer:

180° C

Explanation:

First we start by finding the area of the stopper.

A = πd²/4, where d = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m

A = 3.142 * 0.015² * ¼

A = 1.767*10^-4 m²

Next we find the force on the stopper

F = (P - P•)A, where

F = 10 N

P = pressure inside the tube,

P• = 1 atm

10 = (P - 101325) * 1.767*10^-4

P - 101325 = 10/1.767*10^-4

P - 101325 = 56593

P = 56593 + 101325

P = 157918 Pascal

Now, remember, in an ideal gas,

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2, where V is constant, then we have

P1/T1 = P2/T2, and when we substitute the values, we have

101325/(273 + 18) = 157918/ T2

101325/291 = 157918/ T2

T2 = (157918 * 291)/101325

T2 = 453 K

T2 = 453 - 273 = 180° C

A car moving in a straight line starts at X=0 at t=0. It passesthe point x=25.0 m with a speed of 11.0 m/s at t=3.0 s. It passes

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Average velocity v = 21.18 m/s

Average acceleration a = 2 m/s^2

Explanation:

Average speed equals the total distance travelled divided by the total time taken.

Average speed v = ∆x/∆t = (x2-x1)/(t2-t1)

Average acceleration equals the change in velocity divided by change in time.

Average acceleration a = ∆v/∆t = (v2-v1)/(t2-t1)

Where;

v1 and v2 are velocities at time t1 and t2 respectively.

And x1 and x2 are positions at time t1 and t2 respectively.

Given;

t1 = 3.0s

t2 = 20.0s

v1 = 11 m/s

v2 = 45 m/s

x1 = 25 m

x2 = 385 m

Substituting the values;

Average speed v = ∆x/∆t = (x2-x1)/(t2-t1)

v = (385-25)/(20-3)

v = 21.18 m/s

Average acceleration a = ∆v/∆t = (v2-v1)/(t2-t1)

a = (45-11)/(20-3)

a = 2 m/s^2
