Answer:

4435 m  

Explanation:

1. Number of feet

\text{No. of feet} = \text{2425 fathoms} \times \dfrac{\text{6 ft}}{\text{1 fathom}} = \text{14 550 ft}

2. Number of inches  

\text{No. of inches} = \text{14 550 ft} \times \dfrac{\text{12 in}}{\text{1 ft}} =\text{174 600 in}

3. No. of centimetres

\text{No. of centimetres} = \text{174 600 in} \times \dfrac{\text{1 cm}}{\text{2.54 in}} = \text{443 500 cm}

4. No. of metres

\text{No. of metres} = \text{443 500 cm} \times \dfrac{\text{1 m}}{\text{100 cm}} = \textbf{4435 m}

Which of the following substances (with specific heat capacity provided) would show the greatest temperature change upon absorbi
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Pb is the substance that experiments the greatest temperature change.

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity refers to the amount of heat energy required to raise in 1 degree the temperature of 1 gram of substance. The highest the heat capacity, the more energy it would be required. These variables are related through the equation:

Q = c . m . ΔT

where,

Q is the amount of heat energy provided (J)

c is the specific heat capacity (J/g.°C)

m is the mass of the substance

ΔT is the change in temperature

Since the question is about the change in temperature, we can rearrange the equation like this:

\Delta T = \frac{Q}{c.m}

All the substances in the options have the same mass (m=10.0g) and absorb the same amount of heat (Q=100.0J), so the change in temperature depends only on the specific heat capacity. We can see in the last equation that they are inversely proportional; the lower c, the greater ΔT. Since we are looking for the greatest temperature change, It must be the one with the lowest c, namely, Pb with c = 0.128 J/g°C. This makes sense because Pb is a metal and therefore a good conductor of heat.

Its change in temperature is:

\Delta T = \frac{q}{c.m} = \frac{100.0 J}{0.128 J/g.C . 10.0g } = 78.1

Why have we not drilled or mined deeper into earth ??
alexdok [17]
<span>Scientists have determined that the center of the earth is 6371 km below the surface. But how has this been determined? Many people might answer that question by saying scientists can drill into the Earth with machines. However, the drilling rigs that scientists use can only drill about 20 km in the Earth which is not very deep! In other words, we can only drill into upper part of the crust of the earth. Extremely high temperatures and pressures within the Earth make drilling into it very difficult</span>

A fixed mass of oxygen gas occupies 300cm cube at 0 degree centigrade. what volume would the gas occupy at 15 degree centigrade​
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Volume occupied by oxygen gas at 15 degree centigrade​ is equal to 316.5 centimeter cube

Explanation:

Assuming Pressure is constant.

\frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2}

where T1 and T2 are temperature in Kelvin

Substituting the give values we get-

\frac{300}{273} = \frac{V_2}{288}

V_2 = \frac{288*300}{273} \\V_2 = 316.5

Volume occupied by oxygen gas at 15 degree centigrade​ is equal to 316.5 centimeter cube
