The correct answer is - C. Crustal plates, crustal plates.

The movement of the crustal plates of the Earth is the reason why the geologic processes are occurring on our planet. With their movement, the crustal plates manage to create lot of pressure, open up gaps for the magma from the mantle, as well as make adjustments deeper into the ground.

Because of the adjustments deep into the ground, or rather the crust, lot of force is released, manifested as strong and very quick vibrations, better known as earthquakes.

The gaps that are opening between the plates let the magma reach the surface, thus enabling the volcanic activities on the planet.

The pressure from the plates' collision makes the land lift up slowly, and over time a mountain range starts to form because of the continuous lifting up of the area.

A modern compact fluorescent lamp contains 1.4 mg of mercury (Hg). If each mercury atom in the lamp were to emit a single photon
Reika [66]

Answer:

A. 1.64 J

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find how many moles correspond to 1.4 mg of mercury. We have:

n=\frac{m}{M_m}

where

n is the number of moles

m = 1.4 mg = 0.0014 g is the mass of mercury

Mm = 200.6 g/mol is the molar mass of mercury

Substituting, we find

n=\frac{0.0014 g}{200.6 g/mol}=7.0\cdot 10^{-6} mol

Now we have to find the number of atoms contained in this sample of mercury, which is given by:

N=n N_A

where

n is the number of moles

N_A=6.022\cdot 10^{23} mol^{-1} is the Avogadro number

Substituting,

N=(7.0\cdot 10^{-6} mol)(6.022\cdot 10^{23} mol^{-1})=4.22\cdot 10^{18} atoms

The energy emitted by each atom (the energy of one photon) is

E_1 = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda=508 nm=5.08\cdot 10^{-7}nm is the wavelength

Substituting,

E_1 = \frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{5.08\cdot 10^{-7} m}=3.92\cdot 10^{-19} J

And so, the total energy emitted by the sample is

E=nE_1 = (4.22\cdot 10^{18} )(3.92\cdot 10^{-19}J)=1.64 J

En un recipiente de cobre de forma rectangular de aproximadamente 3.5 m largo por 4.5m ancho tiene una temperatura en temporada
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

A_f= 15,769 m²

Explanation:

Este es un ejercicio de dilatación térmica,  

          ΔA = (2α) A₀ ΔT

el arrea de recipiente

          A₀ = L A

          A₀ = 3,5 4,5

          A₀=  15,75 m²

el coeficiente de dilatación térmica es alfa = 16,6 10⁻⁶ C⁻¹

calculemos

            ΔA = 2 16,6 10⁻⁶  15,75 ( 40 -4)

            ΔA = 522,9 (36)  10⁻⁶  

            A= 1,88 10⁻²  m2

el cambio de volumen es

          ΔA = A_f – A₀

          A_f = A₀ +  ΔA

          A_f=  15,75 +1,88 10⁻²  

          A_f= 15,769 m²

5. Define the terms comet, asteroid, and meteoroid.
Nimfa-mama [501]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h2>Comet:</h2>

It is a celestial body constituted by ice, dust and rocks that orbit around the Sun, after having been altered by the Oort cloud; following different trajectories that can be highly eccentric elliptical (periodic trajectories), parabolic or hyperbolic.

One of the main characteristics of a comet is that it travels quite fast, on its way around the Sun and has a long tail, which always go in the opposite direction to the Sun (due to the radiation pressure of sunlight).

<h2>Asteroid: </h2>

It is a small rocky body (smaller than a planet and larger than a meteoroid). Most of these bodies are orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the region known as the asteroid belt; while others accumulate at Jupiter's Lagrange points, and others cross the orbits of the planets.

<h2>Meteoroid: </h2>

It is a fragment of the celestial body that moves through space, which is smaller in size to an asteroid. If it gets to enter the atmosphere of the Earth, it will start to burn by friction with it (combustion) and it will be called a meteor, while if it hits the surface, it will be called a meteorite.
