Answer:

B.moving magma in the mantle

Explanation:

The continents have moved over millions of years. This is due to global convection in the earth's mantle. Since new material continuously comes out of the mantle below the oceanic crust. Thus, a force is created that pushes the areas occupied by the continents, displacing them.

Most cars have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid that may overflow when the engine is hot. A radiator is made of coppe
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

0.699 L of the fluid will overflow

Explanation:

We know that the change in volume ΔV = V₀β(T₂ - T₁) where V₀ = volume of radiator = 21.1 L, β = coefficient of volume expansion of fluid = 400 × 10⁻⁶/°C

and T₁ = initial temperature of radiator = 12.2°C and T₂ = final temperature of radiator = 95.0°C

Substituting these values into the equation, we have

ΔV = V₀β(T₂ - T₁)

= 21.1 L × 400 × 10⁻⁶/°C × (95.0°C - 12.2°C)

= 21.1 L × 400 × 10⁻⁶/°C × 82.8°C = 698832 × 10⁻⁶ L

= 0.698832 L

≅ 0.699 L = 0.7 L to the nearest tenth litre

So, 0.699 L of the fluid will overflow

Una barra de plata de 335.2 g con una temperatura de 100 ºC se introduce un calorímetro de aluminio de 60 g de masa que contiene
sdas [7]

Respuesta:

0,0560 cal / gºC.

Explicación:

Cantidad de calor; (Q)

Q = mcΔt; Δt = t2 - t1

m = masa, c = capacidad calorífica específica; Δt = cambio de temperatura

c de agua = 1 cal / gºC

c de aluminio = 0,22 cal / gºC

QTotal = Q de agua + Q de aluminio

Q de agua = 450 * 1 * (26 - 23) = 1350 cal

Q de aluminio = 60 * 0.22 * (26 - 23) = 39.6 cal

QTotal = 1350 + 39,6 = 1389,6 cal

Calor perdido = calor ganado

QTotal = calor perdido

- 1389,6 = 335,2 * c * (26 - 100)

-1389,6 = −24804,8 * c

c = 1389,6 / 24804,8

c = 0,056021 cal / gºC.

Capacidad calorífica específica de la plata = 0,0560 cal / gºC.

6) If a mass of an object is decreased to half and acting force is reduced by quarter the acceleration of its motion
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Decreases to half.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial mass (m₁) = m

Initial force (F₁) = F

Initial acceleration (a₁) =?

Final mass (m₂) = ½m

Final force (F₂) = ¼F

Final acceleration (a₂) =?

Next, we shall determine a₁. This can be obtained as follow:

F₁ = m₁a₁

F = ma₁

Divide both side by m

a₁ = F / m

Next, we shall determine a₂.

F₂ = m₂a₂

¼F = ½ma₂

2F = 4ma₂

Divide both side by 4m

a₂ = 2F / 4m

a₂ = F / 2m

Finally, we shall determine the ratio of a₂ to a₁. This can be obtained as follow:

a₁ = F / m

a₂ = F / 2m

a₂ : a₁ = a₂ / a₁

a₂ / a₁ = F/2m ÷ F/m

a₂ / a₁ = F/2m × m/F

a₂ / a₁ = ½

Cross multiply

a₂ = ½a₁

From the illustrations made above, the acceleration of the car will decrease to half the original acceleration
