Answer:

Explanation:

The heat source for rock formation

Primordial heat: Some heat accumulated during the earth's formation and it is still available to drive the internal heat Engine of the earth. Some of these heat are used to melt rocks and produce magma.

Radioactive sources: Radioactive elements within the earth also serves as heat source for rock formation. Their spontaneous decay produce heat which are sufficient enough to generate enough thermal energy to melt and produce rocks.

Ronch [10]

Answer:

the stove energy went into heating water is 837.2 kJ.

Explanation:

given,

mass of water = 2000 grams

initial temperature = 0° C

Final temperature = 100° C

specific heat of water (c) = 4.186 joule/gram

energy = m c Δ T                            

            = 2000 × 4.186 × (100° - 0°)

            = 837200 J                          

             = 837.2 kJ            

hence, the stove energy went into heating water is 837.2 kJ.

A boat has a mass of 7660 kg. Its engines generate a drive force of 4080 N due west, while the wind exerts a force of 680 N due
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

0.29 m/s due west.

Explanation:

According to newton's second law,

Net force acting on an object = mass×acceleration

From the question,

F+F₁+F₂ = ma................ Equation 1

Where F = The force generated from the engine, F₁ = Force exerted by the wind, F₂ = Force exerted due to the water, m = mass of the boat, a = acceleration of the boat.

Given: F = 4080 N , F₁ = -680 N(east), F₂ = -1160 N(east). m = 7660 kg

substitute into equation 1

4080-680-1160 = 7660(a)

2240 = 7660a

Therefore,

a = 2440/7660

a = 0.29 m/s due west.
