A scientist heats flexible container full of neon gas .what will most likely happen to the container as the gas absorbs heat
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
As the container starts to heat up, so will the neon gas. Heat is nothing but energy, and when you add energy to a gas, it will start vibrating much faster and hit the edges of the container at a higher rate and a faster velocity. Therefore, it's possible to deduce that the container will most likely rupture and/or "explode".

A wave has a wavelength of 8 mm and a frequency of 14 Hertz what is its speed?
iren [92.7K]
To find the speed you multiply the wavelength and the frequency together.

wavelength = 8mm = 8x10^{-3} m = 0.008 m
frequency = 14 Hz

speed = 0.008m * 14 Hz = 0.112 m/s

A geologic event causes changes to the physical makeup of a particular place and occurs _____.
babymother [125]

A geologic event causes changes to the physical makeup of a particular place and occurs slowly.

Geological events are what causes numerous changes and phenomena on the Earth's surface. Examples of these events include cliff erosion, volcanic eruption, or sedimentation at a mouth of a river.

Geological processes are extremely slow. However, because of the immense lengths of time involved, huge physical changes do occur - mountains are created and destroyed, continents form, break up and move over the surface of the Earth, coastlines change and rivers and glaciers erode huge valleys.

Geological events are both classified as internal and external. This means that these events occur both in the Earth's surface and interior.
