Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 121.905 \ J  }}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the energy given mass, specific heat, and change in temperature. Therefore, we must use this formula;

q= mc \Delta T

The mass is 15 grams and the specific heat is 0.129 J/(g×°C). Let's calculate the change in temperature.

  • ΔT= final temperature - initial temperature
  • ΔT= 85 °C- 22°C = 63°C

Now we know all the values:

m= 15 \ g \ \\c= 0.129 \ J / (g* \textdegree C) \\\Delta T= 63 \ \textdegree C

Substitue the values into the formula.

q= (15 \ g)( 0.129 \ J / (g* \textdegree C)) ( 63 \ \textdegree C)

Multiply the first numbers together. The grams will cancel.

q= (1.935 \ J/ \textdegree C) ( 63 \ \textdegree C)

Multiply again, this time the degrees Celsius cancels.

q= 121.905 \ J

<u>121.905 Joules</u> are required.

The original name for Asian Homo erectus was Group of answer choices Homo rudolfensis. Australopithecus. Paranthropus. Pithecant
Effectus [21]

Answer: Pithecanthropus erectus.

Explanation:

Between 1891 and 1892 Eugène Dubois believed he had found the "missing link", hypothesized by Ernst Haeckel, when he discovered some loose teeth, a skull cap and a femur - very similar to that of modern man - in the excavations he was carrying out in Trinil, located on the island of Java, Indonesia. Homo erectus erectus was the first specimen of Homo erectus to be discovered.  Dubois first named it <u>Anthropopithecus erectus and then renamed it Pithecanthropus erectus.</u> The name Homo erectus means in Latin "erect man", wich means, "standing man", whereas Pithecantropus erectus means "standing ape-man".

So, Dubois published these findings as Pithecanthropus erectus in 1894, more popularly known as "Java Man" or "Trinil Man". In the 1930s the German palaeontologist Ralpf von Koenigswald obtained new fossils, both from Trinil and from new locations such as Sangiran and in 1938 von Koenigswald identified a magnificent Sangiran skull as "Pithecanthropus". It was not until 1940 that Mayr attributed all these remains to the genus Homo (Homo erectus erectus).

Why is reabsorption important
harina [27]
<span>The purpose of the kidneys is to filter waste from the blood, and other things like water, glucose, amino acids, some minerals/vitamins, and other small molecules can also get filtered out. Reabsorbtion of water in the kidneys allows the body to maintain a fluid balance (drink a lot and you pee more cause you have an excess of water). As for the other aforementioned things, they're often needed for metabolic processes (such as certain enzyme functions) so loosing it to waste decreases efficiency and efficacy of other bodily processes. </span>

What is the meaning of life?Why are we chosen to live/be on this world?
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

A special characteristic of one living creature is to grow, to do metabolic processes to react to adapt and to reproduce.

Explanation:

The purpose of human life is to be aware of the existence, to understand existence,  to be responsible and to enjoy.

Why are we chosen to live in this world it is not known. There are theories that RNA plays an important part in this. The process that many forms of life developed through history by mutation and natural selection. And the most common answer to a question why are we here is the simple process of evolution.
