Answer:

weight is always greater than mass, weight is a measure of gravitational pull

Explanation:

Weight=mass x acceleration due to gravity

Therefore weight is always greater than mass. And weight is a measure of gravitational pull

A 55.0-g aluminum block initially at 27.5 degree C absorbs 725 J of heat. What is the final temperature of the aluminum? Express

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Final temperature of the aluminum = 41.8 °C

Explanation:

We have the equation for energy

E = mcΔT

Here m = 55 g = 0.055 kg

ΔT = T - 27.5

Specific heat capacity of aluminum = 921.096 J/kg.K

E = 725 J

Substituting

E = mcΔT

725 = 0.055 x 921.096 x (T - 27.5)

T - 27.5 = 14.31

T = 41.81 ° C = 41.8 °C

Final temperature of the aluminum = 41.8 °C

A microphone is located on the line connecting two speakers that are 0.513 m apart and oscillating in phase. The microphone is 1

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

frequency 1 = 334.30 Hz

frequency 2 = 1002.92 Hz

Explanation:

Given data

speaker distance y = 0.513 m

microphone distance D = 1.80 m

to find out

lowest two frequencies

solution

we know velocity of sound is 343 m/s

so we consider point x

so at 1st speaker distance from x = D + (y/2)

1st speaker distance from x = 1.80 + (0.513/2) = 2.0565 m .....1

and

at 2nd speaker distance from x = D - (y/2)

2nd speaker distance from x = 1.80 - (0.513/2) = 1.5435 m .........2

so destructive interference from 1 and 2 we know

1st - 2nd = ( m + 0.5 ) wavelength

2.0565 m - 1.5435 m = ( 0+ 0.5) wavelength

wavelength = 1.026 m

so here 1st min frequency will be

frequency 1 = velocity of sound / wavelength

frequency 1 = 343 / 1.026 =334.30 Hz

and

2nd min frequency will be

frequency 2 =

2.0565 m - 1.5435 m = ( 1 + 0.5) wavelength

wavelength = 0.342 m

frequency 2 = velocity of sound / wavelength

frequency 2 = 343 / 0.342 = 1002.92 Hz

What type of plate boundary do most volcanoes occur along

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Subducting convergent boundary

Explanation:

Generally, volcanoes occurs in both divergent and convergent boundaries. But the convergent boundary it occurs is usually associated with subduction.

Divergent boundary, plates move away from each other creating a new crust in the process. The diverging plates creates the space for magma to be squeezed through cracks and fissures. The magma's erupt to form volcanoes. In the Atlantic ocean the spreading of the plates causes an upwelling of magma through the crest of the Atlantic ridges. New oceanic crust are formed through this process. Sometimes the magma eruption forms volcanoes that are higher than the sea level.

Convergent boundary , plates collides with each other . But in the case of volcanoes existence , the collision should be between a denser plate(oceanic plates) and a less dense plates(continental plates) so that subduction can take place. The subducted plates (oceanic plates) creates trenches and get expose to high temperature and pressure as it sinks toward the mantle. The upper mantle rocks melts and migrate to the earth surface forming volcanoes . Over 75% of the volcanoes occur along the pacific basin where convergent boundary is dominant. Pacific ring of fire has one of the most number of volcanoes.

Increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared

kondaur [170]

Answer:

Decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared light.

Explanation:

When a large amount of green-house gases are present in the atmosphere, the layer of these gases become opaque to infrared radiation and radiation from the sun get trapped into these gases molecules. These excited molecules radiate this energy into our own atmosphere and that why the temperature of Earth is rising due to the Green-House effect.
