Answer:

Because in a punnett square, dominant alleles need to be differentiated from the recessive alleles, to do this, we write the dominant alleles as capital letters.

Calculate the change in entropy as 0.3071 kg of ice at 273.15 K melts. (The latent heat of fusion of water is 333000 J / kg)

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

374.39 J/K

Explanation:

Entropy: This can be defined as the degree of disorder or randomness of a substance.

The S.I unit of entropy is J/K

ΔS = ΔH/T ..................................... Equation 1

Where ΔS = entropy change, ΔH = Heat change, T = temperature.

ΔH = cm................................... Equation 2

Where,

c = specific latent heat of fusion of water = 333000 J/kg, m = mass of ice = 0.3071 kg.

Substitute into equation 2

ΔH = 333000×0.3071

ΔH = 102264.3 J.

Also, T = 273.15 K

Substitute into equation 1

ΔS = 102264.3/273.15

ΔS = 374.39 J/K

Thus, The change in entropy = 374.39 J/K

An 75-kg hiker climbs to the summit of Mount Mitchell in western North Carolina. During one 2.0-h period, the climber's vertical

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The change in gravitational potential energy of the climber-Earth system is $\Delta PE = 396900 \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the hiker is $m = 75 \ kg$

The time taken is $T = 2 \ hr = 2 * 3600 = 7200 \ s$

The vertical elevation after time T is $H = 540 \ m$

The change in gravitational potential is mathematically represented as

$\Delta PE = mgH$

here g is the acceleration due to gravity with value $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$

substituting values

$\Delta PE = 75 * 9.8 * 540$

$\Delta PE = 396900 \ J$

About 65 million years ago an asteroid struck Earth in the area of the Yucatán Peninsula and wiped out the dinosaurs and many ot

9966 [12]

Answer:

$2.44156\times 10^{13}\ m^3$

29010.53917 m

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Density of asteroid = 2 g/cm³

V = Volume

d = Diameter = 10 km

r = Radius = $\dfrac{d}{2}=\dfrac{10}{2}=5\ km$

v = Velocity = 11 km/s

$H_v$ = Heat vaporization of water = $2.26\times 10^6\ J/kg$

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature = 100-20

Mass is given by

$m=\rho V\\\Rightarrow m=\rho\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\Rightarrow m=2000\dfrac{4}{3}\times \pi\times 5000^3\\\Rightarrow m=1.0472\times 10^{15}\ kg$

The kinetic energy is

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}1.0472\times 10^{15}\times 11000^2\\\Rightarrow K=6.33556\times 10^{22}\ J$

Heat is given by

$Q=mc\Delta T+mH_v\\\Rightarrow 6.33556\times 10^{22}=m\times (4186\times (100-20)+2.26\times 10^6)\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{ 6.33556\times 10^{22}}{4186\times (100-20)+2.26\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow m=2.44156\times 10^{16}\ kg$

Mass of water is $2.44156\times 10^{16}\ kg$

Volume is $\dfrac{2.44156\times 10^{16}}{10^3}=2.44156\times 10^{13}\ m^3$

Amount of water is $2.44156\times 10^{13}\ m^3$

If it were a cube

$h=V^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow h=(2.44156\times 10^{13})^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow h=29010.53917\ m$

The height of the water would be 29010.53917 m
