I would presume the factors would be soil and the sunlight. These two, I observe, are the needed factors for survival of the terrestrial organisms. And help them thrive.

1. 412.9 g of dry ice sublimes at room temperature. a. What’s changing? --- sublimation b. What constant will you use? ----- 25.

hoa [83]

1. 236 kJ

a. The phase (or state of matter) of the substance: from solid state to gas state (sublimation)

b. The enthalphy of sublimation, given by: $\lambda=571 J/g$

c. The equation to use will be $Q=m\lambda$ , where m is the mass of dry ice and $\lambda$ is the enthalpy of sublimation

d. The energy is being absorbed, because the heat is transferred from the environment to the dry ice: as a consequence, the bonds between the molecules of dry ice break and then move faster and faster, and so the substance turns from solid into gas directly.

e. The amount of energy being transferred is

$Q=m\lambda=(412.9 g)(571 J/g)=2.36\cdot 10^5 J=236 kJ$

2. 165 kJ

a. The phase (or state of matter) of the substance: from gas state to liquid state (condensation)

b. The latent heat of vaporisation of water, given by $\lambda=2260 J/g$

c. The equation to use will be $Q=m\lambda$ , where m is the mass of steam that condenses and $\lambda$ is the latent heat of vaporisation

d. The energy is being released, since the substance turns from a gas state (where molecules move faster) into liquid state (where molecules move slower), so the internal energy of the substance has decreased, therefore heat has been released

e. The amount of energy being transferred is

$Q=m\lambda=(72.9 g)(2260 J/g)=1.65\cdot 10^5 J=165 kJ$

3. 3.64 kJ

a. Only the temperature of the substance (which is increasing)

b. The specific heat capacity of silver, which is $C_s = 0.240 J/gC$

c. The equation to use will be $Q=m C_s \Delta T$ , where m is the mass of silver, Cs is the specific heat capacity and $\Delta T$ the increase in temperature

d. The energy is being absorbed by the silver, since its temperature increases, this means that its molecules move faster so energy should be provided to the silver by the surroundings

e. The amount of energy being transferred is

$Q=m C_s \Delta T=(39.2 g)(0.240 J/gC)(412.9^{\circ}C-25.9^{\circ}C)=3641=3.64 kJ$

4. 89 kJ

a. Both the phase of the substance (from solid to liquid) and then the temperature

b. The latent heat of fusion of ice: $\lambda=334 J/g$ and the specific heat capacity of water: $C_s=4.186 J/gC$

c. The equation to use will be $Q=m\lambda + m C_s \Delta T$ , where m is the mass of ice, $\lambda$ the latent heat of fusion of ice, Cs is the specific heat capacity of water and $\Delta T$ the increase in temperature

d. The energy is being absorbed by the ice, at first to break the bonds between the molecules of ice and to cause the melting of ice, and then to increase the temperature of the water

e. The amount of energy being transferred is

$Q=m\lambda +m C_s \Delta T=(156.3 g)(334 J/g)+(156.3 g)(4.186 J/gC)(56.232^{\circ}C-0^{\circ}C)=8.9\cdot 10^4 J=89 kJ$

You're driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 49 m in front of you. You reaction time

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

v = 26.7 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

speed of the car = 20 m/s

distance between the car and the deer = 49 m

time taken to press the brake = 0.50 s

maximum deceleration of the car = 10 m/s²

Now,

distance travel by the car in 0.5 s = u x t = 20 x 0.5 = 10 m

distance travel by the car after the break is pressed

Using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 a s

0² = 20² - 2 x 10 x s

s = 20 m

Total distance travel by the car = 20 + 10 = 30 m

Distance between deer and car = 49-30 = 19 m.

b. Maximum speed a car could have

Distance travel by the car in reaction time = v' x 0.5

v' is the maximum speed of the car.

maximum distance car can cover = 49 - 0.5 v'

Now, Using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 a s

0² =v'² - 2 x 10 x (49- 0.5 x v')

v'² +10 v' -980 = 0

By solving

v = 26.7 m/s

Hence, maximum speed of the car can be 26.7 m/s

Renald completed only one trial of his experiment. what effect will this most likely have?

Tatiana [17]

Remember the rule of thumb that every person learns in Elementary Science? You must do multiple experiments in order to get to a conclusion. In order for a conclusion to be valid you must test the conclusion multiple times. You wouldn't want a doctor to just test an aspirin 1 time on 1 patient and say yes it works correct? No, you would want him/her to test on multiple patients in multiple settings and conditions so that when you take an aspirin you know that it will work for what you are taking it for. So ..... with all that being said.....Your answer is (A). The results are more likely to have errors.
