Answer: extreme heat and extreme cold.

Explanation: Climate experts prove that with climate change, the planet can experience extreme weather. In particular temperature record highs out pace record lows and some types of extreme weather such as extreme heat, intense precipitation, and drought have become more frequent or severe in recent decades.

The orbit has an effect on climate by determining the amount of incoming sunlight. The cycle of ice ages are linked to changes in the earth's orbit, so they are important to the long-term climate variability of the earth. Earth's orbit around the sun is due to the gravitational attraction between the earth and the sun.

The solar radiation bombarding Earth at any given time, makes the planet warmer. So Earth's place in each of these cycles should have a measurable effect on long term climate trends — and it does. Another factor is to consider which hemisphere happens to be receiving the heaviest bombardment. This is because land warms faster than oceans do, and the Northern Hemisphere is covered by more land and less ocean than the Southern Hemisphere

Answer:

c) 8.3 x 10^24 molecules

Explanation:

First of all, we convert the volume of the glass of water from mL to cm^3:

V=250 mL = 250 cm^3

The relationship between mass and volume is:

d=\frac{M}{V}

where

d=1.00 g/cm^3 is the density of water

M is the total mass of the glass of water

V=250 cm^3 is the volume of the water in the glass

Solving for M,

M=dV=(1.00)(250)=250 g = 0.250 kg

Now we know that the mass of a single molecule of water is

m=3.0\cdot 10^{-26}kg

The total mass of the water in the glass can be written as

M=Nm

where

N is the number of molecules in the glass of water

Solving for N, we find:

N=\frac{M}{m}=\frac{0.250}{3.0\cdot 10^{-26}}=8.3\cdot 10^{24}

The kinetic theory describes the __1__ of particles in matter and the forces of attraction between them. The theory assumes that
frutty [35]

Answer:

1. Motion

2. Empty space

3. Far apart

4. Independently

5. Random or rapid

6. Collision

7. Kinetic energy

8. Atmospheric

9. 273 Kelvin or 0° Celsius

10. 1 atm, 101.3 kPa or 760 mmHg

Explanation:

In science, matter can be defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. Any physical object that is found on earth is typically composed of matter. Matter are known to be made up of atoms and as a result has the property of existing in states.

Generally, matter exists in three (3) distinct or classical phases and these are;

I. Gas.

II. Solid.

III. Liquid.

Filling the missing words or texts in the question, we have;

The kinetic theory describes the motion of particles in matter and the forces of attraction between them. The theory assumes that the volume occupied by a gas is mostly empty space, that the particles of gas are relatively far apart, move independently of each other, and are in constant random or rapid motion. The collision between particles are perfectly elastic so that the total kinetic energy remains constant. Gas pressure results from the simultaneous collisions of billions of particles with an object. Barometers are used to measure atmospheric pressure. Standard conditions are defined as a temperature of 273 Kelvin or 0° Celsius and a pressure of 1 atm, 101.3 kPa or 760 mmHg.

The atomic mass of an element is defined as the weighted average mass of that element’s
marishachu [46]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Atomic mass (Also called Atomic Weight, although this denomination is incorrect, since the mass is property of the body and the weight depends on the gravity) Mass of an atom corresponding to a certain chemical element). The uma (u) is usually used as a unit of measure. Where u.m.a are acronyms that mean "unit of atomic mass". This unit is also usually called Dalton (Da) in honor of the English chemist John Dalton.

It is equivalent to one twelfth of the mass of the nucleus of the most abundant isotope of carbon, carbon-12. It corresponds roughly to the mass of a proton (or a hydrogen atom). It is abbreviated as "uma", although it can also be found by its English acronym "amu" (Atomic Mass Unit). However, the recommended symbol is simply "u".

<u> The atomic masses of the chemical elements are usually calculated with the weighted average of the masses of the different isotopes of each element taking into account the relative abundance of each of them</u>, which explains the non-correspondence between the atomic mass in umas, of an element, and the number of nucleons that harbors the nucleus of its most common isotope.

If he feels the chances of low, normal, and high precipitation are 30 percent, 20 percent, and 50 percent respectively, What is
Brilliant_brown [7]

Question:

The operations manager for a well-drilling company must recommend whether to build a new facility, expand his existing one, or do nothing. He estimates that long-run profits (in $000) will vary with the amount of precipitation (rainfall) as follows:

Alternative             Precipitation                                

                        Low                Normal                 High

Do nothing    -100                       100                    300

Expand           350                       500                   200

Build new       750                       300                    0

If he feels the chances of low, normal, and high precipitation are 30 percent, 20 percent, and 50 percent respectively, What is EVPI (Expected value of Perfect Information)?

A. $140,000

B. $170,000

C. $285,000

D. $305,000

E. $475,000

Answer:

D. $170,000

Explanation:

The expected long run profits are  for

                        Low                Normal                 High

Do nothing    -100*0.3                100*0.2                   300*0.5 = 140

Expand           350*0.3                500*0.2                  200*0.5 = 305

Build new       750*0.3                300*0.2                  0*0.5    = 285

Therefore the expected long run profits are

$140,000

$305,000

$285,000

Based on his selected option being either to build new or to expand, the most profitable option is to expand

=$305,000

EVPI = EPPI-EMV =$170,000
