Everything is made of atoms. An atom is the smallest particle of an element, like oxygen or hydrogen. Atoms join together to form molecules. A water molecule has three atoms: two hydrogen (H) atoms and one oxygen (O) atom.
Calculate the food energy (joules/g) of one of your food
samples. one chemistry calorie is equal to 4.186 joules. convert the energy you
calculated to kilojoules (1 kj = 1000 j). since nothing is given, an example is
avocadoes have 160 cal/100 g serving
(160 cal/ 100 g)(4.186 J/ 1 cal) (1 kJ/1000 J) = 0.0067 kJ/g
The sand provides a rough surface on top of the ice for the cars' tires to grip onto. It provides more friction. Salt melts the ice and often provides more friction (the disadvantage is that it eats concrete!).
