Answer:

The correct answer is with the help of seismic waves.

Explanation:

The majority of what we know about the interior of the Earth is mainly because of the seismic waves. These are the waves of energy, which can be a result of earthquakes. The two prime kinds of seismic waves are the surface waves and the body waves.  

The surface waves move only along the Earth's surface, while the body waves move through the interior of the Earth in all the directions. It is the body waves behavior, which has provided the clues to the scientists regarding the composition of the Earth's layers. There are two kinds of body waves, these are the primary and the secondary waves.

If one iron nail weighs 2.0 grams, what would be the mass of 6.022 x 10^23 nails?
Maru [420]

Answer:

1.2x10^{24}g

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, it is possible to treat this problem by using a proportional factor which indicates one iron nail equals 2.0 grams:

\frac{2.00g}{1nail}

Now, for an amount of 6.022x10²³ nails, the corresponding mass will be:

6.022x10^{23}nail*\frac{2.00g}{1nail} \\\\1.2x10^{24}g

Best regards!

A beam of light has a wavelength of 24.0 μm ( μm = 10 -6m). What is its frequency?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Frequency = 1.25 ×10¹³ Hz

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength of light = 24.0  μm (2.4 ×10⁻⁵ m)

Frequency = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Speed of light = wavelength × frequency

Speed of light /wavelength = frequency

Frequency = 3×10⁸ m /s /2.4 ×10⁻⁵m

Frequency = 1.25 ×10¹³ s⁻¹

s⁻¹ = Hz

Frequency = 1.25 ×10¹³ Hz

if 5430 J of energy is used to heat 1.25 L of room temp. water (23.0 °C) whats the final temp of the water?
skelet666 [1.2K]

<span>We can use the heat equation,
Q = mcΔT </span>

 

<span>Where Q is the amount of energy transferred (J), m is the mass of the substance (kg), c is the specific heat (J g</span>⁻¹ °C⁻<span>¹) and ΔT is the temperature difference (°C).</span>


Density = mass / volume


The density of water = 0.997 g/mL

<span>Hence mass of 1.25 L (1250 mL) of water = 0.997 g/mL x 1250 mL</span>

<span>                                                                   = 1246.25 g</span>


Specific heat capacity of water = 4.186 J<span>/ g °C.</span>


Let's assume that there is no heat loss to the surrounding and the final temperature is T.

By applying the equation,

      5430 J = 1246.25 g x 4.186 J/ g °C x (T - 23) °C
(T - 23) °C = 5430 J / 1246.25 g x 4.186 J/ g °C
(T - 23) °C = 1.04 °C
               T = 1.04 °C + 23 °C
               T = 24.04 °C

Hence, the final temperature of the water is 24.04 °C.
