Which statements about gravity are true

Chemistry

Answer:

1.gravity helps us stay situated on earth without floating away

3.gravity holds our galaxy together

4.multiplying the mass of an object by the acceleration due to gravity gives the weight of the object

Explanation:

Man can float on moon. This is because the force of gravity on the moon is less than that on Earth. Thus gravity helps us not float away on Earth.

All matter contains mass and has nothing to do with gravity. Option 2 is incorrect.

Gravity is a collection of billions of stars that are held together by gravity. Option 3 is correct.

Weight of the object is the product of the mass of an object and the acceleration due to gravity. Option 4 is correct.

Scientists launch space craft out of earths atmosphere against Earth's gravity. Option 5 is incorrect.

Yuri Oganessian has already discovered the next noble gas at atomic weight 118, (which is 86 plus 32). The next most likely, if ever encountered, should be 150 (which is 118 plus 32) or at 168 (which is 118 plus 32 plus 16).

Why does air have different pressures

yaroslaw [1]

Because, at lower elevation, everything is tightly packed, and theres more air. As for at higher elevation (like for example at the top of mount everest) There is less air... The higher the elevation, the less air.

A 237g sample of molybdnum metal is heated to 100.1 0C and then dropped into an insulated cup containing 244 g of water at 10.0

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

The specific heat of molybdenum is 0.254 joules per gram-Celsius.

Explanation:

We consider the system formed by the molybdenum metal and water as our system, a control mass inside an insulated cup, that is, a container that avoids any energy and mass interactions between system and surroundings.

From statement we notice that metal is cooled down whereas water is heated. According to the First Law of Thermodynamics, we know that:

$Q_{metal} - Q_{water} = 0$

$Q_{metal} = Q_{water}$

Where:

$Q_{water}$ - Heat received by water, measured in joules.

$Q_{metal}$ - Heat released by metal, measured in joules.

Now we expand this identity by definition of sensible heat:

$m_{metal}\cdot c_{metal}\cdot (T_{m,o}-T) = m_{water}\cdot c_{water}\cdot (T-T_{w,o})$

The specific heat of the metal is cleared within equation above:

$c_{metal} = \frac{m_{water}\cdot c_{water}\cdot (T-T_{w,o})}{m_{metal}\cdot (T_{m,o}-T)}$

If we know that $m_{water} = 0.237\,kg$ , $m_{metal} = 0.244\,kg$ , $c_{water} = 4186\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}$ , $T_{w,o} = 10\,^{\circ}C$ , $T_{m,o} = 100.10\,^{\circ}C$ and $T = 15.30\,^{\circ}C$ , the specific heat of molybdenum is:

$c_{metal} = \frac{(0.237\,kg)\cdot \left(4186\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (15.30\,^{\circ}C-10\,^{\circ}C)}{(0.244\,kg)\cdot (100.10\,^{\circ}C-15.30\,^{\circ}C)}$

$c_{metal} = 254.119\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}$

The specific heat of molybdenum is 0.254 joules per gram-Celsius.
