Answer: It would destroy the Earth's surface.

I remember reading this questions in What If? by Randall Munroe. Great book, I suggest you check it out. Anyway, the answer. The Earth is revolving as well as spinning on its axis at the same time. This  basically means that thee atmosphere is also spinning at the same speed. But due to the frame of reference, we don't notice anything. If the Earth suddenly stops spinning, then the atmosphere, going according to the first law of motion will still be spinning at the same speed. This would produce supersonic winds at such a scale that it will be compared to an atomic explosion. Anything not in a nuclear bunker will probably be ripped apart by the force of the wind.

If the pressure exerted on a 300.0 mL sample of hydrogen gas at constant temperature is increased from 0.500 kPa to 0.750 kPa, w
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

200 mL

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume, V₁ = 300 mL

Initial pressure, P₁ = 0.5 kPa

Final pressure, P₂ = 0.75 kPa

We need to find the final volume of the sample if pressure is increased at constant temperature. It is based on Boyle's law. Its mathematical form is given by :

V\propto \dfrac{1}{P}\\\\P_1V_1=P_2V_2

V₂ is the final volume

V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{P_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{300\times 0.5}{0.75}\\\\V_2=200\ mL

So, the final volume of the sample is 200 mL.

A 75.0-kg person climbs stairs, gaining 2.50 m in height. Find the work done to accomplish this task.
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

W=1837.5J

Explanation:

A force exerts work when there is a displacement of its point of application in the direction of that force. Therefore, the work done by a system is defined as the inner product between the applied force and the displacement:

W=\vec{F}\cdot \vec{d}\\W=Fcos\theta d

In this case, we have:

F=mg\\h=dcos\theta

So, replacing this:

W=mgh\\W=75kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^2}*2.5m\\W=1837.5J

What would be the best design for an experiment that tests how much water expands when frozen?
galben [10]

B. Purchase a small plastic container and mark 1-ounce increments on the outside to determine volume. Pour 5 ounces of water into the container, and place in the freezer for 8 hours. Compare the frozen or ending volume with the liquid or beginning volume.

<h3>How much water expands when frozen?</h3>

Ice is less denser than the liquid form. Water is the only known non-metallic substance that expands when it freezes because it is the unique property of water. Water density decreases and it expands approximately  about 9% by volume. For calculating the expansion of water, plastic container is the best option. We know that water expands when the water freezes because it is a unique property of water which allows the survival of aquatic organisms.

So we can conclude that option B is the right answer.

You open the refrigerator in your room and put in a case of room-temperature root beer. After an hour, the root beer is ice cold
agasfer [191]

Answer:

warmer

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy tells us that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can be transferred or converted from one from to another. In this question when the beer that is at room temperature is put in the fridge, it loses some heat energy. This heat energy is not destroyed, the fridge through  multiple processes eventually releases this heat to the room through pipes at the back which is why they are normally warm. the heat from the food inside is expelled to the room. It is not lost.
