To get an idea of how much thermal energy is contained in the world's oceans, estimate the heat liberated when a cube of ocean w

ater, 3 km on each side, is cooled by 4 K. (Approximate the ocean water as pure water for this estimate.)

Answer:

Q = 4.52 10¹⁷ J

Explanation:

Thermal energy can be calculated with  

      Q = m c_{e} ΔT

in this case it indicates that we approximate seawater to pure water with  

    c_{e} = 4186 J/ kg K  

with the density

    ρ = m / V  

    m = ρ V  

    V = L³  

we substitute  

   m = ρ L³  

   Q = ρ L3 c_{e} ΔT

calculate  

   Q = 1000 (3 103) 3 4186 4  

   Q = 4.52 10¹⁷ J

Nuclear fission formula by the looks of it. Possibly how Professor Lisa Meitner realised that she had split the atomic nucleus. The Xenon and the Strontium (Xe and Sr) would presumably show up in a radio chemical assaying test at her university. 
A few years later, Professor J Robert Oppenheimer watched a nuclear test somewhere near Los Alamos, US and lamented "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds". Shortly thereafter, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were razed to the ground and annihilated by nuclear bombs. Professor Meitner, probably inadvertently, had got the keys to the doors to "nuclear hell", and JRO ended up turning them. Something like that maybe, and a very harrowing and tumultuous period in human history.
Note in the fission equation, that out come two neutrons. They go off and produce a similar fission in another U235 nucleus into a chain reaction which, i not moderated by, say, Boron, can end up as a "mushroom cloud".

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

This question can only be answered by you.

Explanation:

This question must be tailored specificly to you. whatever your next class is you must write 8 sentences on your walk to it. You  can try going into detail about who you saw on the walk. where you went.what people were doing in the hallway. Did you look out a window? what did you see? how long did it take you to walk there? do you usually stop at your locker?

Also dont forget to use a colon ( : ): This can be used when listing things

semicolon (;) : is used as a pause (Seperation) in a long sentence.

Try incorperating some of the five senses in your sentences.

Good luck!

The particles of a substance can have kinetic energy (KE) and potential energy (PE). Which equation best summarizes the internal
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The internal energy of a substance is equal to the total amount of potential energy and kinetic energy of ALL the particles in the substance.

For example, when the temperature increases (more temperature means more energy), the kinetic energy of the particles in the substance increases.

And when we reach a point near a change of phase (like near fusion point) there is energy used to break the bonds between the particles, then we have an increase in potential energy.

Then we could write the internal energy as:

U = ∑(KEₙ) + ∑(PEₙ)

Where ∑(KEₙ) and ∑(PEₙ) are the sums of the kinetic energy and potential energy of all the particles in the substance.
