The principle of original horizontality states that all rock layers were initially deposited horizontally.  The answer must be They were deposited horizontally and then shifted by a geologic event because they other choices all indicate that the the rocks were initially deposited in a way that was not horizontal.


Hope this helps!!

When 38.1 grams of a certain metal at a temperature of 90.0°C is added to 100.0mL of water at a temperature of 17.6°C in a perfe
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

a. qm = 627.3 J

b. qw = 627.3 J

c. C₂ = 227.4 J/kg.°C

Explanation:

a.

Since, the calorimeter is completely insulated. Therefore,

Heat Lost by Metal = Heat Gained by water

qm = qw

qm = m₁C₁ΔT₁

where,

qm = heat lost by metal = ?

m₁ = mass of water = (density)(volume) = (1000 kg/m³)(100 mL)(10⁻⁶ m³/1 mL)

m₁ = 0.1 kg

C₁ = specific heat capacity of water = 4182 J/kg.°C

ΔT₁ = Change in Temperature of Water = 19.1°C - 17.6°C = 1.5°C

Therefore,

qm = (0.1 kg)(4182 J/kg.°C)(1.5°C)

<u>qm = 627.3 J</u>

<u></u>

b.

Since,

qm = qw

<u>qw = 627.3 J</u>

<u></u>

c.

qm = m₂C₂ΔT₂

where,

m₂ = mass of metal = 38.1 g = 0.0381 kg

C₂ = specific heat capacity of metal = ?

ΔT₂ = Change in Temperature of metal = 90°C - 17.6°C = 72.4°C

Therefore,

627.3 J = (0.0381 kg)(C₂)(72.4°C)

(627.3 J)/(0.0381 kg)(72.4°C) = C₂

<u>C₂ = 227.4 J/kg.°C</u>

The _energy of the baseball is the sum of the kinetic energy and _energy of the particles that make up the baseball
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Mechanical energy

Kinetic energy

Explanation:

The mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of the particles that make up the baseball.

Mechanical energy is made up of kinetic energy and potential energy. When the baseball is in motion, the particles make use of the kinetic energy, also known as motion energy and when the ball is not in motion the particles make use of the potential energy, also known as stored energy.

Cylinder A and Cylinder B are sealed, rigid cylinders with movable pistons. Each cylinder contains 500. milliliters of a gas sam
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The pressure of N₂ gas in cylinder B when compressed at constant temperature increases due to the increase in the frequency of collision between the gas molecules with themselves and with the wall of their container caused by a decrease in volume of the container.

Explanation:

Gas helps to explain the behavior of gases when one or more of either temperature, volume or pressure is varying while the other variables are kept constant.

In the gas cylinder B, the temperature of the given mass of gas is kept constant, however, the volume is decreased by pushing the movable piston farther into the cylinder. According to the  gas law by Robert Boyle, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant temperature. This increase in pressure is due to the increase in the frequency of collision between the gas molecules with themselves and with the wall of their container caused by a decrease in volume of the container. As the cylinder becomes smaller, the gas molecules which were spread out further become more packed closely together, therefore, their frequency of collision increases building up pressure in the process.
