A topographical map would be useful for which activity? A. planning a hiking trip B. studying plant growth over time C. studying

amm1812

The answer is A. planning a hiking trip

A topographical map would not help studying plant growth over time unless you are looking for a better altitude to plant said plants.

A topographical map would not help studying rainfall for one year unless your location was really so high or low that it affected your weather

And most of all, a topographical map would not be useful for planning a cuise across the Atlantic Ocean because the elevation of the sea is zero!

A topographical map would be useful for planning a hiking trip because there are many factors and details that a hike should have. Which includes height, distance, paths, and elevation.

In a certain city, electricity costs $0.15 per kW·h. What is the annual cost for electricity to power a lamp-post for 6.00 hours

Vanyuwa [196]

(a) Power of bulb is 100 W, converting this into kW.

$1 W=\frac{1}{1000}kW$

Thus,

$100 W =\frac{100}{1000}kW=0.1 kW$

The bulb is used for 6 hours per day for a year, in 1 year there are 365 days thus, total hours will be:

$t=6\times 365=2190 h$

Electricity used will depend on power and number of hours as follows:

$E=P\times t=0.1 kW\times 2190 h=219 kW.h$

The cost of electricity is $0.15 per kW.h thus, cost of electricity for 219 kW.h will be:

$Cost=\$ (219\times 0.15)=\$ 32.85$

Therefore, annual cost of incandescent light bulb is $\$ 32.85$

(b) Power of bulb is 25 W, converting this into kW.

$1 W=\frac{1}{1000}kW$

Thus,

$100 W =\frac{25}{1000}kW=0.025 kW$

The bulb is used for 6 hours per day for a year, in 1 year there are 365 days thus, total hours will be:

$t=6\times 365=2190 h$

Electricity used will depend on power and number of hours as follows:

$E=P\times t=0.025 kW\times 2190 h=54.75 kW.h$

The cost of electricity is $0.15 per kW.h thus, cost of electricity for 54.75 kW.h will be:

$Cost=\$ (54.75\times 0.15)=\$ 8.21$

Therefore, annual cost of fluorescent bulb is $\$ 8.21$ .

How many atoms in the pictured molecule can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules? there is a ball-and-stick model of nh2ch2c

MariettaO [177]

The correct answer would be the third option. There would be two atoms that can form hydrogen bonds with the water molecules from the molecule NH2CH2CH2OH. The atoms O and N could make hydrogen bonds with H. Hydrogen bond is an intermolecular force that is a dipole-dipole interaction between a hydrogen and an atom of O, F and N.

Given each pair, complete the sentences to determine which member of each has the stronger intermolecular dispersion forces.

evablogger [386]

Answer:

CH3CH2CH2Cl

CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2SH

Br2

Explanation:

Dispersion forces increases with increase in relative molecular mass. The specie having the greater relative molecular mass definitely has greater dispersion forces. A rough estimation of the relative molecular masses of the species stated in the answer will reveal this fact.
