What is the energy source of the convection cells in the earth's mantle?

1 answer:

7 0

A. Radioactive decay does not result in heat. Gravity also does not result in heat. In the Earth's mantle, it is highly unlikely that the radiation from the sun would reach that deep into the earth.

energy expenditure due to physical activity generally accounts for __________ of total energy expenditure.

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Energy expenditure due to physical activity generally accounts for 20% of total energy expenditure.

Explanation:

The total amount of energy your body uses daily is usually divided as follows:

1. Your Basal Metabolic Rate at rest (50-70%)

Basal Metabolic Rate is the number of calories required to keep your body functioning at rest

2. Consumption by your daily physical activities (20%)

3. Energy to digest food. (10-20%)

This energy has to be deducted from the overall energy content of the food itself.

Then, the answer is:

Energy expenditure due to physical activity generally accounts for 20% of total energy expenditure.

You have 750 g of water at 10°C in a large insulated beaker. How much boiling water at 100°C must you add to this beaker so that

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Correct answer: m₂ = 1,950 g

Explanation:

When mixing the liquid, in this case water, at different temperatures, the warmer liquid will cool and the cooler will warm up until their temperatures equalize.

The amount of heat that the second fluid (water) releases is equal to the amount of heat that the first fluid (water) receives in this spontaneous process.

Q₁ = Q₂

Q₁ = m₁ c (t - t₁) and Q₂ = m₂ c (t₂ - t)

where are they: m₁ = 750 g, t₁ = 10°C, t₂ = 100°C, t = 75°C, m₂ = ?

m₁ c (t - t₁) = m₂ c (t₂ - t) \ : c

Since water is the liquid in question, it has the same specific heat capacity. Therefore, we will divide both sides of the equation by c and get:

m₁ (t - t₁) = m₂ (t₂ - t) => m₂ = m₁ (t - t₁) / (t₂ - t) =>

m₂ = 750 · (75 - 10) / (100 - 75) => m₂ = 750 · 65 / 25 = 1,950 g

m₂ = 1,950 g

The efficiency of a carnot cycle is 1/6. If on reducing the temperature of the sink 75 degree Celsius, the efficiency becomes 1/

svp [43]

Answer:

375 and 450

Explanation:

The computation of the initial and the final temperature is shown below:

In condition 1:

The efficiency of a Carnot cycle is $\frac{1}{6}$

So, the equation is

$\frac{1}{6} = 1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1}$

For condition 2:

Now if the temperature is reduced by 75 degrees So, the efficiency is $\frac{1}{3}$

Therefore the next equation is

$\frac{1}{3} = 1 - \frac{T_2 - 75}{T_1}$

Now solve both the equations

solve equations (1) and (2)

$2(1 - T_2/T_1) = 1 - (T_2 - 75)/T_1\\\\2 - 1 = 2T_2/T_1 - (T_2 - 75)/T_1\\\\ = (T_2 + 75)/T_1T_1 = T_2 + 75\\\Now\ we\ will\ Put\ the\ values\ into\ equation (1)\\\\1/6 = 1 - T_2/(T_2 + 75)\\\\1/6 = (75)/(T_2 + 75)$

T_2 + 450 = 75

T_2 = 375

Now put the T_2 value in any of the above equation

i.e

T_1 = T_2 + 75

T_1 = 375 + 75

= 450
