Pie3 years ago

Answer: Over 90% of earthquakes – including almost all of the largest and most destructive ones – happen at or near so-called plate boundaries, where the 15 or so major subdivisions (“plates”) of the Earth’s crust and uppermost mantle move towards, alongside, or away from each other

Answer:

The mantle convection causes an upward push and downward pulling that may heavily contribute to where earthquakes further from plate lines are found. In his study, Becker suggests that earthquakes away from plate boundaries may happen because of movement occurring beneath plates

3.Write the symbol of the element that has a charge of +1 when it has 71 electrons.​
tigry1 [53]

The symbol : \tt _{72}^{178}Hf^{+1}

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

There are two components that accompany an element, the mass number and atomic number

Atoms are composed of 3 types of basic particles (subatomic particles): <em>protons, electrons, and neutrons </em>

The Atomic Number (Z) indicates the number of protons and electrons in an atom of an element.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons ⇒ neutral number

Atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons

Atomic Number (Z) = Atomic mass (A) - Number of Neutrons

The element has 71 electrons and a charge of +1 , so

Number of protons = 71 + 1 = 72

Number of protons = the atomic number = 72

The element with atomic number 72 is Hafnium(Hf)

The atomic mass of Hf = 178 g/mol

Which statement related to particle and wave properties of matter is correct? a. Interference patterns are observed when a wave
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

a. Interference patterns are observed when a wave passes through a barrier with two slits

Explanation:

Interference is a situation where two waves superimpose to form a new wave of a different amplitude. This amplitude can be greater, same or lower.

the diagram attached below shows the movement of a wave through a barrier with two slits.

you can notice the portions of the wave that overlap. This overlapping of waves is the interference.

Thus, option A is correct.

The other options however,  are not correct. as shown below:

Option B is wrong as waves exhibit diffraction <em>(it is diffraction of the light wave that produces the rainbows we see in the sky)</em>

Option C is wrong as waves do not travel straight through slits always.

Option D is wrong as waves can also interfere constructively and destructively.

A 70.0-g piece of copper metal at 54.0 °C is placed in 50.0 g of water at 26.0 °C. If the final temperature of the water and met
KatRina [158]

The specific heat in, J /g °C of copper is 0.386J/g°C

HOW TO CALCULATE SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY OF A SUBSTANCE:

  • The specific capacity of a substance can be calculated using the following formula:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = quantity of heat absorbed or released (J)

m = mass of substance (g)

∆T = change in temperature (°C)

c = specific heat capacity (J/g°C)

For a colorimeter, the following equation applies:

m.c.∆T (water) = - m.c.∆T (metal)

  • For water:

m = 50g

c = 4.184 J/g°C

∆T = 29.2 - 26°C = 3.2°C

  • For copper:

m = 70g

c = ?

∆T = 29.2 - 54°C = -24.8°C

m.c.∆T (water) = - m.c.∆T (metal)

50 × 4.184 × 3.2 = -(70 × c × -24.8)

669.44 = 1736c

c = 669.44 ÷ 1736

c = 0.386J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat in, J /g °C of copper is 0.386J/g°C
