Answer:

The plates can be thought of like pieces of a cracked shell that rest on the hot, molten rock of Earth’s mantle and fit snugly against one another. The heat from radioactive processes within the planet’s interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other.

A car with a mass of 1.1 × 103 kilograms hits a stationary truck with a mass of 2.3 × 103 kilograms from the rear end. The initi
d1i1m1o1n [39]
The answer is C : 15.7 m/s
Use the idea of : momentum before collision = momentum after collision

Before collision;
For car:mass=1.1×10^3, velocity=22
For truck:mass=2.3×10^3, velocity=0
After collision;
For car:mass=2.3×10^3, velocity=-11
For truck:mass=2.3×10^3, velocity=V
(1.1×10^3 × 22) + (2.3×10^3 × 0) = (1.1×10^3 × -11) + (2.3×10^3 × V)
24200 = -12100 + 2.3×10^3V
2.3×10^3V = 36300
V = 15.7 m/s

A concentrated salt solution has a mass of 5.222 g for a 5.000 mL sample.
ad-work [718]

The specific gravity or relative density of a substance is the ratio of its density to the density of a reference material. The relative density of the concentrated salt solution is 1.044.

Mathematically;

Density of the concentrated salt = mass of salt/volume of salt = 5.222 g/5.000 mL = 1.044 g/mL

In the case of specific gravity, the reference material is always water and water has a density of 1 g/mL.

Hence, specific gravity of the concentrated salt solution =

Density of concentrated salt solution/density of equal volume of water

= 1.044 g/mL/1 g/mL

= 1.044

Note that specific gravity is dimensionless.

How many calories of heat are necessary to raise the temperature of 319.5 g of water from 35.7 °C
rjkz [21]

20600Cal              

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water = 319.5g

Initial temperature = 35.7°C

Final temperature = 100°C

Unknown:

Calories needed to heat the water = ?

Solution:

The calories is the amount of heat added to the water. This can be determined using;

     H  =   m  c Ф

c  = specific heat capacity of water = 4.186J/g°C

   H is the amount of heat

    Ф is the change in temperature

    H = m c (Ф₂ - Ф₁)

    H = 319.5 x 4.186 x (100 - 35.7) = 85996.56J

Now;

     1kilocalorie = 4184J

     

85996.56J to kCal; \frac{85996.56}{4184}   = 20.6kCal  = 20600Cal
