Chemistry

An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault. ... When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking that we feel. In California there are two plates - the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.

Compare the amount of heat required to vaporize a 200.-gram sample of H2O(ℓ) at its boiling point to the amount of heat required
stira [4]
The enthalpy of vaporization of H2O is higher than the enthalpy of fusion of H2O, therefore vaporizing the same mass of H2O would require more heat/energy than melting the same mass of H2O.

A cheetah can run 112km/h over a 100-m distance. what is this speed in meters per second
Naya [18.7K]
First convert the 112 km/hr ratio into m/s (meters per second). To do this you multiply 112 km with 1000 m/km (since there's 1000 m in one km). You get 112000 m. Then multiply 1 hr with 60 min/hr (since there's 60 min in one hr. You get 60 min, but you want seconds, so multiply 60 min with 60 s/min to get 3600 s. There you go! Your answer is the speed of 112000m/3600s, but you can simplify that to 31.11m/s (since the answer should be in ? meters per 1 second.

Also, the "100-m-distance" part of the question is just to throw you off, because one particular speed obviously stays constant over any distance. Hope that helps :)
