A student decides to spend spring break by driving 50 miles due east, then 50 miles 30 degrees south of east, then 50 miles 30 d

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

a. 600 ml, 12

Explanation:

The movement described in the question exhibits that of a polygon. Exhibiting a constant distance and angle with only varying direction until the starting point is reached.

The sum of exterior angles of a polygon = 360 degrees.

Exterior angle of a polygon = (360 ÷ number of sides)

Therefore,

Number of sides = 360 ÷ exterior angle

Exterior angle = 30 degrees

Hence,

Number of sides = 360 ÷ 30 = 12 sides

Since distance traveled of 50 miles is the same for each displacement ;

Total displacement = distance traveled * number of sides

Total displacement = 50 * 12 = 600 miles.

Which of the following (with specific heat capacity provided) would show the smallest temperature change upon gaining 200.0 J of

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

A) 50.0 g Al

Explanation:

We can calculate the temperature change of each substance by using the equation:

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mC_s}$

where

Q = 200.0 J is the heat provided to the substance

m is the mass of the substance

$C_s$ is the specific heat of the substance

Let's apply the formula for each substance:

A) m = 50.0 g, Cs = 0.903 J/g°C

$\Delta T=\frac{200}{(50)(0.903)}=4.4^{\circ}C$

B) m = 50.0 g, Cs = 0.385 J/g°C

$\Delta T=\frac{200}{(50)(0.385)}=10.4^{\circ}C$

C) m = 25.0 g, Cs = 0.79 J/g°C

$\Delta T=\frac{200}{(25)(0.79)}=10.1^{\circ}C$

D) m = 25.0 g, Cs = 0.128 J/g°C

$\Delta T=\frac{200}{(25)(0.128)}=62.5^{\circ}C$

E) m = 25.0 g, Cs = 0.235 J/g°C

$\Delta T=\frac{200}{(25)(0.235)}=34.0^{\circ}C$

As we can see, substance A) (Aluminium) is the one that undergoes the smallest temperature change.

All are examples of speed except ______

katovenus [111]

Speed is a derived term that is the result when distance or displacement is divided by unit time. Speed is a scalar unit which means it only includes magnitude not direction, thus always positive. The answer thus are the three choices given above.

What are the five basic postulates of kinetic-molecular theory?

lesantik [10]

Explanation:

The five basic postulate of kinetic molecular theory includes:

1) All gases consist of large amount and numbers of tiny particles that are far apart from each other and also relative to their size.

2) The collisions between gas particles and gas particles against container walls is refer to as elastic collision.

3) All gas particles are in a continuous random and rapid motion. They possess kinetic energy which is energy of motion.

4) There are no attractive force between gas particles.

5) The temperature of a gas depends on the average kinetic energy of the gas particle.
