This reaction appears to be destroying the logs. when it is over only ash will remain, the law of conservation of mass tells us

no mass is lost. how can you explain this?

The law of conservation tells us that no mass is lost. This is true because when wood burns or turns into ash, some of it is escaped as gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor into air . If we calculate the mass of these atmospheric gases that evolved when the wood turned into ash, we would find that the total mass of all these substances including the ash is equal to the log of wood.

Why to astronauts appear weightless while they are filmed performing activities inside the orbiting space shuttle?
vagabundo [1.1K]
<h2>Answer: The astronauts are falling at the same rate as the space shuttle as it orbits around earth</h2>

The astronauts seem to float because they are in free fall just like the spacecraft.

However, although they are constantly falling on the Earth, they do not fall because the ship orbits at a sufficient speed (in the same direction of rotation of the Earth) so that the centrifugal force is balanced with the Earth's gravitational pull.

In other words:

The spaccraft and the astronauts are in free fall but the Earth's surface will never be reached as long as they does not decrease the speed.

Then, as they accelerate toward Earth (regardless of their mass), it curves beneath them and never comes close.

That's why astronauts, having the same acceleration as the spacecraft, feel weightless and see themselves floating.

What quantity of heat must be removed from 20g<br>of water at 0°C to change it to ice at 0°C?​
seraphim [82]

The quantity of heat must be removed is 1600 cal or 1,6 kcal.

<h3>Explanation : </h3>

From the question we will know if the condition of ice is at the latent point. So, the heat level not affect the temperature, but it can change the object existence. So, for the formula we can use.

\boxed {\bold {Q = m \times L}}

If :

  • Q = heat of latent (cal or J )
  • m = mass of the thing (g or kg)
  • L = latent coefficient (cal/g or J/kg)
<h3>Steps : </h3>

If :

  • m = mass of water = 20 g => its easier if we use kal/g°C
  • L = latent coefficient = 80 cal/g

Q = ... ?

Answer :

Q = m \times L \\ Q = 20 \times 80 = 1600 \: cal

So, the quantity of heat must be removed is 1600 cal or 1,6 kcal.

Explain how astronomers might use spectroscopy to determine the composition and temperature of a star.
Damm [24]

Everything starts from spectroscopy. Astronomers only have concentrated information at wavelengths that are emitted from the stars. What they do with this information is to obtain the frequency range of the stars and through spectroscopes they are responsible for dividing the radiation beams and determining the coincidence with the emission of those same waves, of chemical elements. From these observation techniques it is possible to obtain the composition and according to the color, obtaining characteristics such as temperature. The spectrum of stars consists of dark and bright lines called Fraunhofer lines. This spectrum is compared to the spectrum of different elements to find the composition of the stars. This is possible because the elements emit or absorb only specific wavelengths.
