Answer:

1st – Place the film canister on the <u>scale</u>.

2nd – Slide the large <u>weight </u>to the right until the arm drops below the line and then move it back one notch.

3rd – Repeat this process with the <u>top</u> weight. When the arm moves below the line, back it up one groove.

4th – Slide the <u>small </u>weight on the front beam until the <u>lines</u> match up.

5th – Add the amounts on each beam to find the total <u>mass </u>to the nearest tenth of a gram.

Explanation:

The triple beam balance is an instrument that is used in measuring the mass of substances to a very high degree of precision. The reading error is given by ±0.05 grams. The triple beam balance as the name implies has three beams that measure substances of different mass levels.

The beams are categorized as small, medium, and large. There is a balance on which the substance to be weighed is placed directly upon. To use this measuring device, the procedures mentioned above are followed.

<u>We are given:</u>

Mass of Neptune = 1.03 * 10²⁶ kg

Distance from the center of Neptune (r) = 2.27 * 10⁷

now, computing the value of the acceleration due to gravity (g)

<u>Finding g:</u>

We know the formula:

g = G(mass of planet) / (r)²

g = [6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ * 1.03*10²⁶] / (2.27*10⁷)                      [since G is 6.67*10⁻¹¹]

g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵) / (5.15 * 10¹⁴)

which can be rewritten as:

g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵ * 10⁻¹⁴) / 5.15

g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵⁻¹⁴) / 5.15

g = (6.87/5.15) * 10

g = 1.34 * 10

g = 13.4 m/s² <em>(approx)</em>

Solids in which the atoms have no particular order or pattern are called
posledela

Answer:

Amorphous solids are composed of atoms or molecules that are in no particular order. Each particle is in a particular spot, but the particles are in no organized pattern. Examples include rubber and wax. Crystalline solids have a very orderly, three-dimensional arrangement of atoms or molecules

How much work is accomplished when a force of 250 N pushes a box across the floor for a distance of 50 meters?
IrinaK [193]
Work = force * distance
and newton*meters = Joule

In this case,  work = 250N*50m = 12500 J

So the answer is D) 12,500 J

What happens to the temperature during an endothermic reaction? ANSWERS; The temperature stays constant. The temperature will de
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The temperature will decrease (get colder).

Explanation:

Enthalpy changes are heat changes accompanying physical and chemical changes. The enthalpy change is the difference between the sum of the heat contents of products and the sum of heat contents of reactants.

  • For an endothermic change, heat is absorbed for the reaction.
  • The surrounding becomes colder at the end of the reaction and so is the reaction itself.
  • The right choice is that the temperature will decrease.
