Please choose the answer that describes the scientific notation 5098000
bonufazy [111]

So there is a decimal after the last zero and it looks like this 5098000. You have to move the decimal point six back to get in between the five and the zero which looks like this 5.098000 

<span>Scientific notation is the way that scientists easily handle very large numbers or very small numbers. For example, instead of writing 0.0000000056, we write 5.6 x 10^<span>9</span>.</span>

Being that we moved the decimal six places back the answer is 5.098 x 10^6

Why is water always used in energy generation (water -&gt; steam -&gt; turbine) instead of a liquid with a lower specific heat c
frez [133]

There are multiple reasons for this. First of all, water is available in almost every place on the Earth. It doesn't pollute the air, doesn't cause health use and is easily handle.

Other factor is the fact that water has a really high specific heat. This means that water, and more specifically steam, can aborb and transport more energy. A lower heat capacity would imply the need to boil more of the liquid to obtain the same amount of energy. This combine with the fact that water expands at a large rate when boiling, combine with everything mentioned previously, and you get a liquid with all the characteristics that a efficient turbine requires to work.

Heptane is always composed of 84.0% carbon and 16.0% hydrogen. This illustrates the law of multiple proportions. conservation of
BigorU [14]

Heptane is always composed of 84.0% carbon and 16.0% hydrogen. This illustrates the "law of definite proportions".

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Proust's law states that every chemical compound used to made up of element constituents with constant proportions in terms of its mass and also independent from its sources and synthesis method. In 1779, Joseph Proust gave other names to the Proust's law as, the law of composition or definite proportions or constant compositions.

This can understood from given example like: Oxygen is composed of 8/9 of the mass of any sample of pure water while the hydrogen fills up the remaining 1/9 of the mass. The basis of stoichiometry is structured with the law of multiple proportions along the law of definite proportions.

A diverging lens (f1 = -12.0cm) is located 50.0 cm to the left of a converging lens (f2 = 34.0 cm). A 2.0 cm-tall object stands
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

The final image relative to the converging lens is 34 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Focal length of diverging lens = -12.0 cm

Focal length of converging lens = 34.0 cm

Height of object = 2.0 cm

Distance of object = 12 cm

Because object at focal point

We need to calculate the image distance of diverging lens

Using formula of lens

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{u}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{-12}-\dfrac{1}{-12}

v=\infty

The rays are parallel to the principle axis after passing from the diverging lens.

We need to calculate the image distance of converging lens

Now, object distance is ∞

Using formula of lens

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{34}-\dfrac{1}{\infty}

v=34

The image distance is 34 cm right to the converging lens.

Hence, The final image relative to the converging lens is 34 cm.
