Answer:

3 x 10^5 J

Explanation:

mass of substance, m = 1 g = 0.001 kg

Velocity of light, c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

According to the Einstein mass energy equivalence, the energy associated with the mass is given by

E = m c^2

E = 0.001 x 3 x 10^8

E = 3 x 10^5 J

Compare and contrast the way molecules behave in liquid to the way they behave in solids and gases.

Vitek1552 [10]

In liquids, molecules particles are close together but move in random directions.

In solids, they are closely packed together and they vibrate a little.

In gases, they love around really quickly and are farther apart (even more than liquids).

What is this feature?

Viktor [21]

Answer: c Delta

Explanation:

A delta is a landform created by deposition of sediment that is carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or stagnant water. This occurs where a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or (more rarely) another river that cannot carry away the supplied sediment.

Q 24, 25, 26 i dont get them and need answers for it

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

24) W = 75 [J]; 25) W = 1794[J]; 26) n = 8.8 (times) or 9 (times)

Explanation:

24) This problem can be solved by means of the following equation.

$DU = Q-W\\$

where:

DU = internal energy difference [J]

Q = Heat transfer [J]

W = work [J]

Since there are no temperature changes the internal energy change is equal to zero

DU = 0

therefore:

$Q = W\\$

The work is equal to the heat transfered, W = 75 [J].

25) The heat transfer can be calculated by means of the following equation.

$Q = m*c_{p}*DT\\where:\\m = mass = 0.4[kg]\\c_{p} = specific heat = 897[J/kg*K]\\DT= 5 [C]$

Q = 0.4*897*5 = 1794[J]

Work is equal to heat transfer, W = 1794[J]

26) Each time the bag falls the potential energy is transformed into heat energy, which is released into the environment. In this way the potential energy is equal to the developed heat.

$E_{p}=Q\\\\E_{p}=m*g*h$

where:

m = mass = 0.5[kg]

g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]

h = 1.5 [m]

$E_{p}=0.5*9.81*1.5\\E_{p}=7.36[J]$

The heat developed can be calculated by means of the following equation.

$Q=m*c_{p}*DT\\Q=0.5*130*1\\Q=65[J]$

The number of times will be calculated as follows

n = 65/7.36

n = 8.8 (times) or 9 (times)

Which statement is true? Which statement is true? An orbital that penetrates into the region occupied by core electrons is more

masya89 [10]

Hey there!:

Here the Statement - D is correct.

Because Orbitals containing the core electrons are more attracted towards nuclear charge and hence less shilded from nuclear charge than an orbital that doesn't penetrate. Also due to more attraction between the orbital containing core electron and nucleus, it will have less energy.

Hope this helps!
