Answer:

Drilling into the seafloor off Mexico, scientists have extracted a unique geologic record of the single worst day in the history of life on Earth, when a city-sized asteroid smashed into the planet 65 million years ago, wiping out the dinosaurs and three-quarters of all other life.

Their analysis of these new rock samples from the Chicxulub crater, made public Monday, reveals a parfait of debris deposited in layers almost minute-by-minute at the heart of the impact during the first day of a global catastrophe. It records traces of the explosive melting, massive earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides and wildfires as the immense asteroid blasted a hole 100 miles wide and 12 miles deep, the scientists said.

IN THIS FORMULA FOR WATER WHAT DOES THE SUBSCRIPT 2 INDICATE
masha68 [24]
The chemical formular for water is H2O.
The H aspect of the formula stands for hydrogen gas and the subscript 2 which is attached to the H symbol signifies that two atoms of hydrogen are joined together, that is two atom of hydrogen are present.
The chemical formula of water indicates that, two atom of hydrogen react with one atom of oxygen to form one molecule of water.
In chemical formulae, subscripts are normally used to indicate the number of atoms that are present in a molecule.

A private aviation helicopter's main rotor blades rotate at approximately
Arisa [49]

Answer: 7.5 rev/s

Explanation:

We are given the angular velocity \omega a helicopter's main rotor blades:

\omega=450 rpm=450 \frac{rev}{min}

However, we are asked to express this \omega in the International Systrm (SI) units. In this sense, the SI unit for time is second (s):

\omega=450 \frac{rev}{min} \frac{1 min}{60 s}

\omega=7.5 \frac{rev}{s}

Which of the following statements about X-rays and radio waves is not true? Which of the following statements about X-rays and r
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

X-rays travel through space faster than radio waves.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.

All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, the speed of light, whose value is:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, according to their wavelength/frequency. From shortest to longest wavelength (and so, from highest to lowest frequency), we have:

Gamma rays

X rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

Now we can analyze the 4 statements:

X-rays and radio waves are both forms of light, or electromagnetic radiation --> TRUE. They are both types of electromagnetic waves.

X-rays have higher frequency than radio waves. --> TRUE, as we can see from the table above.

X-rays have shorter wavelengths than radio waves. --> TRUE, as we can see from the table above.

X-rays travel through space faster than radio waves. --> FALSE: all electromagnetic waves travel in space at the same speed, the speed of light.

Many biological systems are well-described by the laws of statistical physics. A simple yet often powerful approach is to think
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

z1/z2

Explanation:

we have no quantum effects therefore we can make use of Maxwell Boltzmann distribution in the description of this system.

using the boltzman distribution the probability of finding a particle in energy state

P_{ei}  = \frac{gie^{-ei/kol} }{z}

we have

gi to be degeneration of the ith state

ei to be energy of ith state

z=e^{-ei/kbt} summation

P_{ope} = \frac{e^{-ei/kBt} }{z} = \frac{Z_{1} }{Z}

We have R to be equal to

\frac{P_{ope} }{P_{Close} } = \frac{Z1}{Z2}
