Answer:

The answer is <u><em>Convection</em></u>

Explanation:

Plate movement happens because of a process of heat transfer called convection. Convection is the movement produced when a gas, liquid, or plastic is unevenly heated.

A platinum resistance thermometer has a resistance of 11.50 ohms at 0 oC and 17.35 ohms at 100 oC. Assuming that the resistance
STatiana [176]

Answer:

34.2^{\circ}C

Explanation:

The resistance increases linearly with the temperature - so we can write:

\Delta R = k \Delta T

where

\Delta R is the change in resistance

k is the coefficient of proportionality

\Delta T is the variation of temperature

In the first part of the problem, we have

\Delta R = 17.35 - 11.50 =5.85\Omega

\Delta T = 100 -0 = 100^{\circ}C

So the coefficient of proportionality is

k=\frac{\Delta R}{\Delta T}=\frac{5.85}{100}=0.0585 \Omega ^{\circ}C^{-1}

When the resistance is R=13.50\Omega, the change in resistance with respect to the resistance at zero degrees is

\Delta R' = 13.50-11.50 = 2.00 \Omega

So we can find the change in temperature as:

\Delta T' = \frac{\Delta R}{k}=\frac{2.00}{0.0585}=34.2^{\circ}

So the new temperature is

T_f = T_0 + \Delta T' = 0+34.2 = 34.2^{\circ}C

Which of these would best represent the effect of an embargo on trade with China?
guapka [62]
<span>A trade embargo on China would limit the imports or exports of goods. A trade embargo would create economic pressure on the Chinese government and influence the Chinese government's foreign or domestic policy. A trade embargo would encourage China to stop certain policies or actions in order to lift the embargo.</span>

Consider the reaction X mc022-1.jpg Y + 2Z . If the molar solubility of X is multiplied by 2, the value of Ksp will be multiplie
Alex777 [14]
X -> Y + 2Z

So there are 2 different particles. 1 mol of X produces 1 mol of Y and 2 moles of Z.

Kps = [Y] [Z]^2

We will call “s” (solubility) the molarity of X

So the molarity of Y+ is also “s” (same number)

And the molarity of Z is “2s” (twice as much)

Kps = s*(2s)^2 = s*4s^2=4s^3

If s is multiplied by 2:

Kps = 4*(2s)^3=4*2^3*s^3=4*8*s^3

So Kps is multiplied by 8.

Which characteristic of a sound is affected by the amount of energy used to create that sound? In what direction the sound will
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

How loud or soft the sound is

Explanation:

The loudness of a sound wave is given by the amount of energy that the pressure wave carries and it is measured in decibels (dB) which is the relative intensity of the pressure wave of a sound to the standard pressure

A loud sound has a high amplitude and a soft sound has a low amplitude, such that as the amplitude of the sound is increased, due to increased energy input, the sound becomes louder, and as the amplitude of the sound is decreased due to reduced energy input, the sound becomes softer.
