N the particular case of motion, a reference point is a stationary point in space. You can then measure the displacement of objects in space from this point. A reference point is important in determining motion because in order to say that something is moving, you need to have something stationary to compare it to.

A reference is critical because it determines how much motion has occurred. You can't determine how much an objected has moved if you don't know where it came from.

Geology belongs to which main category of science?
sergey [27]
Geology belongs to the category of Natural Sciences. Natural sciences is the study of natural phenomena. Among the natural sciences, we have physical science, which is the study of non-living systems. Further along this branch, we have earth sciences where Geology belongs.

How would the model change as the atom forms bonds? The third shell would have eight electrons after the atom gains seven electr
atroni [7]

Answer:

The third shell would be empty, so the eight electrons on the second level would be the outermost after the atom lost one electron

Explanation:

When an atom is bonded with other atoms, a more stable configuration must be reached, which is why the energy of the molecule is less than the energy of the individual atoms, for this to happen in general, electrons are shared or lost and gained in each atom, depending on the electronegative of the same.

If we analyze an atom within the molecule, its last shell is full, in the case of atoms with few electrons in this shell, they are lost and in the case of many electors in this shell, it gains electrons to have eight (8) in total.

When reviewing the different answers, the correct one is:

* The third shell would be empty, so the eight electrons on the second level would be the outermost after the atom lost one electron

Fifteen grams of substance X at 95 degrees Celsius is mixed with 45 grams of substance Z at 85 degrees Celsius in a container wh
Viefleur [7K]
According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed. They are just transferred from one system to another. To obey this law, the energy of the substances inside the container must be equal to the substance added to it. The energy is in the form of heat. There can be two types of heat energy: latent heat and sensible heat. Sensible heat is energy added or removed when a substance changes in temperature. Latent heat is the energy added or removed at a constant temperature during a phase change. Since there is no mention of phase change, we assume the heat involved here is sensible heat. The equation for sensible heat is:

H = mCpΔT
where
m is the mass of the substance
Cp is the specific heat of a certain type of material or substance
ΔT is the change in temperature.

So the law of conservation of heat tells that:

Sensible heat of Z + Sensible heat of container = Sensible heat of X

Since we have no idea what these substances are, there is no way of knowing the Cp. We can't proceed with the calculations. So, we can only assume that in the duration of 15 minutes, the whole system achieves equilibrium. Therefore, the equilibrium temperature of the system is equal to 32°C. The answer is C.
