Which type of wave affects the surface of the land by causing it to rise and fall like waves on an ocean?

1 answer:

5 0

It is a seismic wave that effects the surface of the land by causing it to rise and fall like waves in an ocean. Seismic waves can be broken down into a number of different types. Specifically, it is a Raleigh surface wave that behaves much like water waves since it moves the ground up and down as it travels. Seismic waves are produced in earthquakes.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

451.13 J/kg.°C

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)............... Equation 1

Where Q = Heat, c = specific heat capacity of iron, m = mass of iron, t₂= Final temperature, t₁ = initial temperature.

Make c the subject of the equation

c = Q/m(t₂-t₁).............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: Q = 1500 J, m = 133 g = 0.113 kg, t₁ = 20 °C, t₂ = 45 °C

Substitute these values into equation 2

c = 1500/[0.133(45-20)]

c = 1500/(0.133×25)

c = 1500/3.325

c = 451.13 J/kg.°C

Consider the three dip1acement vectors A = (3i - 3j) m, B = (i-4j) m, and C = (-2i + 5j) m. Use the component method to determin

tia_tia [17]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

A=3i-3j m

B=i-4 j m

C=-2i+5j m

a. $D=A+B+C$

$D=3i-3j+i-4j-2i+5j$

$D=2i-2j$

Compare with the vector r=xi+yj

We get x=2 and y=-2

Magnitude= $\mid D\mid=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=\sqrt{(2)^2+(-2)^2}=2\sqrt 2$ units

By using the formula $\mid r\mid=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

Direction: $\theta=tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}$

By using the formula

Direction of D: $\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{-2}{2})=tan^{-1}(-1)=tan^{-1}(-tan45^{\circ})=-45^{\circ}$

b.E=-A-B+C

$E=-3i+3j-i+4j-2i+5j$

$E=-6i+12j$

$\mid E\mid=\sqrt{(-6)^2+(12)^2}=13.4$ units

Direction of E= $\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{12}{-6}=tan^{-1}(-2)=-63.4^{\circ}$

Percent Yield Lab Report

Vlada [557]

Based on the data obtained from the reaction, the following conclusions can be made;

according to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the product was higher than the reactant because of the mass of oxygen added during the combustion.
the percent yield is less than 100% because of loss in mass of either reactants or products.
the errors could have occurred during the weighing and transfer of reactants and products
repeated measurements are required in order to improve accuracy

<h3>What is the percent yield of the reaction?</h3>

Equation of the reaction is given below:

2 Mg + O₂ ----> 2 MgO

Trial 1

Mass of empty crucible with lid = 26.698 (g)

Mass of Mg metal, crucible, and lid = 27.040 (g)

Mass of MgO, crucible, and lid = 27.198 (g)

Mass of metal = 27.040 - 26.698 = 0.342

Mass of MgO = 27.198 - 26.698 = 0.500

<h3>Moles of Mg used</h3>

moles of Mg = mass/molar mass

molar mass of Mg = 24 g

moles of Mg = 0.342/24 = 0.01425

<h3>Moles of MgO expected</h3>

Based on the equation of reaction;

moles of MgO expected = 0.01425

moles of MgO produced = mass/molar mass

molar mass of MgO = 40 g/mol

moles of MgO produced = 0.500/40 = 0.0125

<h3>Percent yield</h3>

Percent yield = (moles of MgO produced/moles of MgO expected) * 100%

Percentage yield = 0.0125/0.01425 * 100%

Percent yield of MgO = 87.7%

Trial 2

Mass of empty crucible with lid = 26.691 (g)

Mass of Mg metal, crucible, and lid = 27.099 (g)

Mass of MgO, crucible, and lid = 27.361 (g)

Mass of metal = 27.099 - 26.691 = 0.408

Mass of MgO = 27.361 - 26.691 = 0.670

<h3>Moles of Mg used</h3>

moles of Mg = mass/molar mass

molar mass of Mg = 24 g

moles of Mg = 0.408/24 = 0.0170

<h3>Moles of MgO expected</h3>

Based on the equation of reaction;

moles of MgO expected = 0.0170

moles of MgO produced = mass/molar mass

molar mass of MgO = 40 g/mol

moles of MgO produced = 0.670/40 = 0.01675

<h3>Percent yield</h3>

Percent yield = (moles of MgO produced/moles of MgO expected) * 100%

Percent yield = 0.01675/0.0170 * 100%

Percent yield of MgO = 98.5%

Average percent yield = (87.7 + 98.5)% / 2

Average percent yield = 89.0%

Based on the data obtained from the reaction, the following conclusion can be made;

according to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the product was higher than the reactant because of the mass of oxygen added during the combustion.
the percent yield is less than 100% because of loss in mass of either reactants or products.
the errors could have occurred during the weighing and transfer of reactants and products
repeated measurements are required in order to improve accuracy
