Answer:

What best describes the concept of weight is the force on an object due to its mass and gravity.

Explanation:

Weight is the force with which gravity pulls a body or object towards the earth. It is a physical unit that involves both the force of gravity and the mass that an object has.

In general, the terms mass and weight are different, being the mass a characteristic of the body -without influence of other factors- and the weight is the force with which the gravity pushes the mass of that same body.

Regarding the other options:

The amount of space an object takes up , corresponds to the volume of a body.
The amount of matter in an object , corresponds to the mass.
The force on an object due to its speed and location, is related to the movement of a body.

Answer:

The value of the Golden Igloo is $227.4 million.

Explanation:

First, we need to find the inner and the outer volume of the half-spherical shell:

$V_{i} = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{4}{3}\pi r_{i}^{3}$

$V_{o} = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{4}{3}\pi r_{o}^{3}$

The total volume is given by:

$V_{T} = V_{o} - V_{i}$

Where:

$V_{i}$ : is the inner volume

$r_{i}$ : is the inner radius = 1.25/2 = 0.625 m

$V_{o}$ : is the outer volume

$r_{o}$ : is the outer radius = 1.45/2 = 0.725 m

Then, the total volume of the Igloo is:

$V_{T} = \frac{2}{3}\pi r_{o}^{3} - \frac{2}{3}\pi r_{i}^{3} = \frac{2}{3}\pi [(0.725 m)^{3} - (0.625 m)^{3}] = 0.29 m^{3}$

Now, by using the density we can find the mass of the Igloo:

$m = 19.3 \frac{g}{cm^{3}}*0.29 m^{3}*\frac{(100 cm)^{3}}{1 m^{3}} = 5.60 \cdot 10^{6} g$

Finally, the value (V) of the antiquity is:

$V = \frac{\$ 1263}{oz}*5.60 \cdot 10^{6} g*\frac{1 oz}{31.1034768 g} = \$ 227.4 \cdot 10^{6}$

Therefore, the value of the Golden Igloo is $227.4 million.

A plate moves 200 m in 10,000 years. What is its rate in cm/year?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The answer is

Explanation:

To find the rate in cm/year we must first convert 200 m into cm

1 m = 100 cm

if 1 m = 100 cm

Then 200 m = 200 × 100 = 20 ,000 cm

So the rate is

Reduce the fraction with 10,000

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

The reaction, 2C4H10 (g) + 13O2 (g) à 8CO2 (g) + 5H2O (g), is the combustion of butane. What occurs as the reaction proceeds?

Solnce55 [7]

The reaction, 2 C4H10 (g) + 13 O2 (g) = 8 CO2 (g) + 5 H2O (g), is the combustion of butane. A combustion reaction involves the reaction of a hydrocarbon with oxygen producing carbon dioxide and water. This reaction is exothermic which means it releases energy in the form of heat. Therefore, as the reaction proceeds,a heat energy is being given off by the reaction. This happens because the total kinetic energy of the reactants is greater than the total kinetic energy of the products. So, the excess energy should be given off somewhere which in this case is released as heat.

How would I fill out this chart?

Sloan [31]

Answer:

[Top row] - Chemical bonds

[2nd Row L-R] - Force, Ionic, Covalent

[3rd Row L-R] - Atoms, Lost or Gained, Shared

[4th Row L-R] - More stable, Metal and Nonmetal, Nonmetal and Nonmetal

Explanation:

Chemical bonds are a force that hold together atoms in a substance to make compounds more stable.

Chemical bonds include two kinds: Ionic and Covalent.

Ionic in which electrons are lost or gained where attraction is between a Metal and Nonmetal.

Covalent in which electrons are shared where attraction is between a nonmetal and nonmetal.

I have been able to fill the concept map using the correct terms or phrases. The concept map talks about chemical bonds. There are two types of chemical bonds; which ionic bond and covalent bond.
