The rotation of Earth is equivalent to one day which is comprised of 24 hours. To determine the number of miles in Earth's circumference, one simply have to multiply the given rate by the appropriate conversion factor and dimensional analysis. This is shown below.
 
                  C = (1038 mi/h)(24 h/1 day)
                   C = 24,912 miles

From the given choices, the nearest value would have to be 20,000 mile. The answer is the second choice.

Which types of numbers does scientific notation best describe?
Travka [436]
The correct answer is
<span>c) very small and very large

Let's see this with a few examples:
1) if we have a very small number, such as
</span>0.0000000001
<span>we see that we can write it easily by using the scientific notation:
</span>1\cdot 10^{-10}
<span>2) Similarly, if we have a very large number:
</span>10000000000
<span>we see that we can write it easily by using again the scientific notation:
</span>1 \cdot 10^{10}<span>

A 25.0-g sample of copper at 363 K is placed in I 00.0 g of water at 293 K. The copper and water quickly come to the sa me tempe
Simora [160]

Answer:

Final temperature is 295K

Explanation:

Where the sample of copper is placed in the water, the heat transferred from the copper is equal that the heat absorbed by the water.

The heat transferred from the copper is:

C×\frac{1mol}{63,546g}×mass×ΔT

Where C is molar heat capacity of copper (24,5J/molK)

Mass is 25,0g

And ΔT is final temperature - initial temperature (X-363K)

Also, the heat absorbed by the water is:

-C×\frac{1mol}{18,02g}×mass×ΔT

Where C is molar heat capacity of water (75,2J/molK)

Mass is 100,0g

And ΔT is final temperature - initial temperature (X-293K)

As heat transferred is equal to heat absorbed:

24,5J/molK×\frac{1mol}{63,546g}×25,0g×(X-363K) = -75,2J/molK×\frac{1mol}{18,02g}×100,0g× (X-293K)

9,64X J/K - 3499J = - 417X J/K + 122273J

426,64X J/K = 125772 J

<em>X = 295K</em>

<em></em>

Final temperature is 295K

I hope it helps!

kari74 [83]

Answer:

People firstly believe that the planets move in a circular orbit until Newton came up with his hypothesis by inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.

Explanation:

  • Everyone assumed the planets were perfect circles until Newton came up with an idea. Slowly people would make maps of the orbits that added circles on circles, and they could never really explain about the movement of the planet. They simply say that planets move on circles but they lacked the math to explain or prove it. Then Newton came up with an idea of inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.
  • Firstly people used their observations and say that the orbits looked like circles, then they developed their models and did the math, and proposed their hypothesizes which were wrong, until Newton came along and tried to match a model that used elliptical orbits and invented the math that allowed him to make predictions with it. His model worked for most planets.
  • However he could not explain about the planet Mercury for instance since it was a very strange orbit. Then after the Einstein's theory of General Relativity he could also explain very deeply about it.
  • Scientists and Astronomers made hypothesizes that there was another planet orbiting too close to the sun to see with telescopes, called Vulcan, that explained mercury's orbit before Einstein's theory. Then long after we had telescopes which was good enough to see if there was a planet orbiting closer to the sun than mercury.
