Given the following choices, determine which best suits as a characteristic of a hurricane.

Answer Choices:

A. Hurricanes occur mostly inland

B. Hurricanes create widespread damage

C. Hurricanes can only last for a short amount of time

D. Hurricanes gain strength after passing overland

Best Answer: B. Hurricanes can create widespread damage.

Reason: A would not be correct since it is more of a variable, due to the fact that hurricanes usually begin near the coastlines, hurricanes are in fact capable of moving inland for atleast 100 miles before it dies down to a tropical storm or depression.

C is not correct since hurricanes can last up to a whole week which is approximately 168 hours.

D is not correct since it is another variable in which hurricanes can decrease in strength if it comes into contact with cool and dry air which is the opposite of warm and moist which it needs in order to occur.

Therefore, the best choice is B. Hurricanes can create widespread damage, hurricanes can unleash a staggering arsenal of mother nature's strength and the most damage a hurricane has caused can go up to 125 billion USD in damages.

A 13.5g sample of gold is heated, then placed in a calorimeter containing 60g of water. The temperature of water increases from

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

$T_i~=163.1$ ºC

Explanation:

We have to start with the variables of the problem:

Mass of water = 60 g

Mass of gold = 13.5 g

Initial temperature of water= 19 ºC

Final temperature of water= 20 ºC

Initial temperature of gold= Unknow

Final temperature of gold= 20 ºC

Specific heat of gold = 0.13J/gºC

Specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C

Now if we remember the heat equation:

$Q_H_2_O=m_H_2_O*Cp_H_2_O*deltaT$

$Q_A_u=m_A_u*Cp_A_u*deltaT$

We can relate these equations if we take into account that all heat of gold is transfer to the water, so:

$m_H_2_O*Cp_H_2_O*deltaT=~-~m_A_u*Cp_A_u*deltaT$

Now we can put the values into the equation:

$60~g*4.186~J/g{\circ}C*(20-19)~{\circ}C=-(13.5~g*0.13~J/g{\circ}C*(20-T_i)~{\circ}C)$

Now we can solve for the initial temperature of gold, so:

$T_i~=(\frac{60~g*4.186~J/g{\circ}C*(20-19)~{\circ}C}{13.5~g*0.13~J/g{\circ}C})+20$

$T_i~=163.1$ ºC

I hope it helps!

Classify each amino acid into the following categories. Select the amino acid that fits best in each category. Each amino acid w

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

1. Lysine

2. Aspartic acid

3. Serine

4. Alanine

5. Tryptophan

Explanation:

Amino acids are biomolecules that contain two functional groups and one R side chain. The two functional groups are: carboxyl group and amino group.

The α-amino acids are the amino acids in which the two functional groups and the R side chain are attached to the α-carbon of the amino acid. They are total 22 α-amino acids.

1. A basic amino acid: Lysine is a positively charged, polar basic amino acid with a lysyl side chain.

2. An acidic amino acid: Aspartic acid is a negatively charged, polar acidic amino acid with an acidic carboxymethyl group.

3. A neutral polar amino acid: Serine is a polar and neutral amino acid with a hydroxymethyl group.

4. A non-polar aliphatic amino acid: Alanine is an aliphatic, nonpolar and neutral amino acid with a methyl side chain.

5. An aromatic amino acid: Tryptophan is an aromatic, nonpolar and neutral amino acid with an indole side chain.
