Answer: subduction and sea floor spreading
Explanation:
He knew that the continents today were once joined together by fossil records of plants and animals that were found to be on continents far removed from each other. He knew this also by corresponding land forms that matches up as well. What he couldn’t prove is how the land masses would have moved so far away from each other. Subduction and sea floor spreading move the tectonic plates that the continents sit on. That’s what he was missing.
Erosion by water and earthquakes
Answer: The substance is neutral
Explanation:
If you place red litmus paper into a basic substance, it turn's blue. When it comes in contact with an acidic or neutral substance, it doesn't change colour it remains red.
Blue litmus paper in acid turns red when placed in a basic or neutral solution it remains blue. From this it can be concluded that the solution is neutral.
Answer:
C₄H₂N₂
Explanation:
First we<u> calculate the moles of the gas</u>, using PV=nRT:
P = 2670 torr ⇒ 2670/760 = 3.51 atm
V = 300 mL ⇒ 300/1000 = 0.3 L
T = 228 °C ⇒ 228 + 273.16 = 501.16 K
- 3.51 atm * 0.3 L = n * 0.082atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 501.16 K
Now we<u> calculate the molar mass of the compound</u>:
- 2.00 g / 0.0256 mol = 78 g/mol
Finally we use the percentages given to<em> </em><u>calculate the empirical formula</u>:
- C ⇒ 78 g/mol * 61.5/100 ÷ 12g/mol = 4
- H ⇒ 78 g/mol * 2.56/100 ÷ 1g/mol = 2
- N ⇒ 78 g/mol * 35.9/100 ÷ 14g/mol = 2
So the empirical formula is C₄H₂N₂
A 72 kg athlete climbs a rope to a height of 12m. Calculate the increase in gravitational potential energy it has experienced.
Answer:
8467.2J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of the athlete = 72kg
Height of the climb = 12m
Unknown:
Increase in gravitational potential energy it has experienced = ?
Solution:
Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body. It is mathematically expressed as;
Gravitational potential energy = m x g x h
m is the mass
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²
h is the height
Insert the parameters and solve;
Gravitational potential energy = 72 x 9.8 x 12
GPE = 8467.2J
