A 500.0-g chunk of an unknown metal, which has been in boiling water for several minutes, is quickly dropped into an insulating

Styrofoam beaker containing 1.00 kg of water at room temperature (20.0∘C). After waiting and gently stirring for 5.00 minutes, you observe that the water’s temperature has reached a constant value of 20.0∘C.
(a) Assuming that the Styrofoam absorbs a negligibly small amount of heat and that no heat was lost to the surroundings, what is the specific heat of the metal?
(b) Which is more useful for storing thermal energy: this metal or an equal weight of water? Explain.
(c) If the heat absorbed by the Styrofoam actually is not negligible, how would the specific heat you calculated in part (a) be in error? Would it be too large, too small, or still correct? Explain.

the measure of each exterior angle of a regular pentagon is ___ the measure of each exterior angle of a regular nonagon
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

(a) 72°

(b) 40°

Explanation:

PENTAGON

First, we calculate the total angles in a Pentagon using:

180(n - 2)

Where n = number of sides of the polygon, in this case, 5.

Hence, the total angle in a polygon is

180(5 - 2) = 180 * 3 = 540°

Therefore, each angle will be:

540°/5 = 108°

Because the interior angle and exterior angle form a straight line (180°), the exterior angle of a regular pentagon will be:

180 - 108 = 72°

The exterior angle of a regular Pentagon is 72°

NONAGON

First, we calculate the total angles in a Nonagon using:

180(n - 2)

Where n = number of sides of the polygon, in this case, 9.

Hence, the total angle in a polygon is

180(9 - 2) = 180 * 7 = 1260°

Therefore, each angle will be:

1260°/9 = 140°

Because the interior angle and exterior angle form a straight line (180°), the exterior angle of a regular nonagon will be:

180 - 140 = 40°

The exterior angle of a regular Nonagon is 40°

What are some ways scientists can study the seafloor?
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: A device records the time it takes sound waves to travel from the surface to the ocean floor and back again. Sound waves travel through water at a known speed. Once scientists know the travel time of the wave, they can calculate the distance to the ocean floor.
