<u>Answer:</u> The mass of ice is 2.39\times 10^{22}g

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Area of Antarctica = 5,500,000mi^2=5,500,000\times 2.59\times 10^{10}=142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2      (Conversion factor:  1mi^2=2.59\times 10^{10}cm^2  )

Height of Antarctica with ice = 7500 ft.

Height of Antarctica without ice = 1500 ft.

Height of ice = 7500 - 1500 = 6000 ft = 182.88\times 10^3cm     (Conversion factor:  1 ft = 30.48 cm)

To calculate mass of ice, we use the equation:

\text{Density of a substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of a substance}}{\text{Volume of a substance}}

We are given:

Density of ice = 0.917g/cm^3

Volume of ice = Area × Height of ice = 142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2\times 182.88\times 10^3cm=26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.917g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of ice}}{26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of ice}=(0.917g/cm^3\times 26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3=2.39\times 10^{22}g

Hence, the mass of ice is 2.39\times 10^{22}g

A 13 Ohm resistor, R, is connected to a battery with unknown voltage, V, as shown below. The total current, I, flowing through t
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

16.12 V

Explanation:

Ohms law explains or portrays the relationship between the voltage (V), current (I) and resistance (R). This is represented using the equation as follows:

V = IR

Where;

V = voltage (Volts)

I = current (amperes)

R = resistance (ohms)

According to the information provided in the question, resistance (R) = 13 Ohm, current (I) = 1.24 Amperes, V = ?

V = 13 × 1.24

V = 16.12 V

Answer:

b. 6.02 x 1023 molecules

Explanation:

The formula mass of ammonia is 14 + 1 × 3 = 17.

The number of moles in 27.6g ammonia is 27.6 ÷ 17 = 1.62 mol.

A mole is 6.02 × 10²³, so the number of hydrogen atoms in a 1.62 moles of ammonia is 1.62 × 6.02 × 10²³ × 3 = 2.93 × 10² atoms.

Five pulses are generated every 0.112 s in a tank of water. What is the speed of propagation of the wave if the wavelength of th
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The wave speed is 53.57 cm/s

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is the distance covered by the wave per unit time.

Wave speed is given by

v = f×λ

where v = The velocity of the wave

f = The wave frequency

λ = The wavelength of the wave

the speed v of the wave can also be expressed interms of the period as

v = λ/T

The freuency of the given wave is f = 5/(0.112 s) = 44.64 Hz and the wavelength is λ = 1.20 cm

Therefore the speed of the wave = 44.64 Hz × 1.20 cm = 53.57 cm/s
