Answer:

<em><u>The answer is</u></em>: <u>The Grand Canyon is a testament to the erosive power of water. This modified model seems to be the predominant theory among today's evolutionary geologists.</u>

<u />

Explanation:

<u>The Grand Canyon is one of the most impressive erosive features in the world</u>.

Carved through sedimentary layers of sandstone, limestone and shale and in the basement formations of mostly metamorphic shales and igneous granites, the Grand Canyon is a testament to the erosive power of water.

<u>The now widely accepted theory</u> has the capture of the current that takes place in one of the northwest drains that is believed to have existed before the elevation of the plateau.

<u>It was believed that the ancestral Colorado River had turned north,</u> draining into the Great Salt Lake region.

<u>Once again</u>, once the capture was carried out, the plateau rose, which caused the drains that tend to the northwest to flow into the Colorado River.

This modified model seems to be the predominant theory among today's evolutionary geologists.

<em><u>The answer is</u></em>: <u>The Grand Canyon is a testament to the erosive power of water. This modified model seems to be the predominant theory among today's evolutionary geologists.</u>

If a 10. m3 volume of air (acting as an ideal gas) is at a pressure of 760 mm and a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius is taken t
kow [346]
We know, the ideal gas equation, 
P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2

Here, P1 = 760 mm
V1 = 10 m3
T1 = 27 + 273 = 300 K

P2 = 400 mm Hg
T2 = -23 + 273 = 250 K

Substitute their values, 
760*10 / 300 = 400 * V2 / 250
25.33 * 250 = 400 * V2
V2 = 6333.333/ 400
V2 = 15.83

In short, Your Answer would be approx. 15.83 m3

Hope this helps!

What are 3 different forces that act on objects on the earth ΩvΩ
Stolb23 [73]
A force is a push or pull acting upon an object as a result of its interaction with another object. There are a variety of types of forces. a variety of force types were placed into two broad category headings on the basis of whether the force resulted from the contact or non-contact of the two interacting objects.

Contact Forces

Action-at-a-Distance Forces

Frictional Force
Gravitational Force
Tensional Force
Electrical Force
Normal Force
Magnetic Force
Air Resistance Force
Applied Force
Spring Force


These are types of individual forces

200-grams of computer chips with a specific heat of 0.3 kJ/kg·K are initially at 25°C. These chips are cooled by placement in 0.
balu736 [363]

Answer:

a. -0.01324 kJ/K,  b.  = 0.03233 kJ/K , c.  = 0.01909, Yes the process is possible

Explanation:

Heat transfer will occur between the chip and the surrounding fluid. Then, finally they will attain a common equilibrium temperature and heat transfer will stop. Now, if we assume that, after heat transfer, chip will attain the temperature of fluid, that is, -34 C,, So , to check whether this is possible

Amount of energy lost by the chip = m . c . (T(i) - T(f))

= 0.2 x 0.3 (25 + 34) = 3.54 KJ

Now, to evaluate the final state of the fluid, after the heat transfer completion,

Energy Gained = m(mew final – mew initial) = m[(μf+ x . μfg) - μf]

Note that heat transfer will change the internal energy of the fluid. Do not consider enthalpy change, as this is not a problem involving fluid flow in and out of the system

M[(μf+ x . μfg) - μf] = m(xμfg)

<u>Energy gained by the fluid will be equal to the energy lost by the chip (No energy loss to the surroundings)</u>

3.54 = 0.1 . X x 203.29

<u>x = 0.1741, which is the dryness fraction of fluid at the final state.</u>

Observe that the total energy lost by the chips is 3.45 kJ and fluid R-134a has got its value of mew fg at -34 C which is = 203.29 kJ/kg

So for 0.1kg of R-134a

0.1 x μfg= <u>20.329 kJ, which is much greater than 3.45 kJ</u>, therefore, it is certain that the state of fluid will be at -34 C only and at the saturation pressure of 69.56 KPa. So the chip will come to attain the temperature of -34 C.  

a. Write the equation for the change of entropy in the chips

ΔSchips = mchips . c . ln(T2/T1), where mc is the mass of chips, c is the specific heat of chips, T2 is the temperature at state 2 and T1 is the temperature at state 1

Substitute mc = 0.2 kg, c = 0.3kJ/kg.K, T1 = 25 + 273, T2 = -34 + 273

delSchips = 0.2 x 0.3 x ln [(-34+273)/ (25+273)]

= -0.01324 kJ/K

There fore the change in entropy of the chips is -0.01324 kJ/K

b. Entropy change of fluid R- 134a

ΔS2 = m[Sfinal – S initial]

= m[Sf + x . Sfg - Sf]

= 0.2 x (0.1741 x 0.92859)

= 0.03233 kJ/K

c. Calculate the total change in the entropy of the entire system

delS = delSchips + delSR -134a

= -0.01324 + 0.03233

= 0.01909

<u>Since the total change in entropy of the entire system is positive that exactly explains that the actual processes are happening in the direction of increase of entropy therefore, the process is possible.</u>
