andrezito [222]4 years ago
6 0

Answer: Meteor showers occur when the earth in its orbit around the Sun passes through debris left over from the destruction of comets.

Explanation:A meteor is a particle broken off an asteroid or comet orbiting the Sun, it burns up as it enters the Earth's atmosphere, creating the effect called shooting star. Cosmic debris of meteor is known as meteoroids. These meteoroids, entering Earth's atmosphere, at extremely high speeds on parallel trajectories is an event known as meteor shower.

If 34.7 g of O2 reacts with iron to form 79.34 g of iron oxide, how much iron was used in the reaction?
zhuklara [117]

Answer: B. 44.64 g

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Mass of reactants = mass of iron + mass of oxygen = mass of iron + 34.7 g

Mass of product = mass of iron oxide = 79.34 g

As Mass of reactants = Mass of product

mass of iron + 34.7 g = 79.34 g

mass of iron = 44.64 g

Thus 44.64 g of iron was used in the reaction

200 what factors do Pressure depend?<br>1 What is a<br>thematical expression do you u​
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

pressure of solid depends on:

1/magnitude of the force

2/contact area

pressure in solid depends on:

1/depth inside the fluid.

2/density of the fluid.

3/Acceleration due to gravity.

Explanation:

1/magnitude of the force:the pressure is directly proportional to the magnitude of the force(thrust). The larger the force, the higher is the magnitude of pressure on the surface.

2/Contact area: the pressure is inversely proportional to the surface area of contact. The larger the contact area, lower is the magnitude of the pressure.

The ideal gas law is represented by PV=nRT. As volume is held constant and the temperature increases, how would the pressure be
nydimaria [60]

The pressure would increase as per Charle's Law, therefore the correct answer is option 4.

<h3>What is an ideal gas?</h3>

It is an imaginary gas for which the volume occupies by it is negligible, this gas does not exist in a practical situation and the concept of an ideal gas is only the theoretical one,

PV = nRT

As given in the problem statement we have to find out if the volume is held constant then what would happen to the gas if the temperature is increased,

For constant volume, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas,

Thus, the pressure would increase as per Charle's Law, therefore the correct answer is option 4.

A falling object is said to reach a constant velocity (terminal velocity)..
Lana71 [14]
C

Terminal velocity is the maximum velocity attainable by an object as it falls through a fluid (air is the most common example). It occurs when the sum of the drag force (Fd) and the buoyancy is equal to the downward force of gravity (FG) acting on the object.(Wikipedia)
