The question lacks a photo to fully answer correctly

If the fossil has its neck bent backwards towards its back, that is the common way to which dinosaurs died.

If the fossil is scattered a bit from its other linking fossil pieces, than it is most likely that the dinosaur was a meal to a predator.

Fossils that are in array but are divided clearly at a section suggests that land moved. Possibly earthquake or Pangea took place.

Given that coal used by electric power plants has a heating value of 27.5 million btus metric ton (25 million btus per ton), det

fredd [130]

Answer:

• 36.4 kg of coal.

• 80 pounds of coal.

Explanation:

Using proportionality constant,

Mass of coal = 1,000,000/27,500,000 btus/metric ton

= 0.0364 metric tons of coal

Mass of coal = 1,000,000/25,000,000 btus/ton

= 0.04 tons of coal.

Converting metric tons to kilogram,

1 metric ton = 1000kg,

0.0364 metric ton;

= 36.4 kg of coal.

Converting tons to pounds,

1 ton = 2000 pounds,

0.04 metric ton;

= 80 pounds of coal.

On a hot summer day, 3.50 ✕ 106 J of heat transfer into a parked car takes place, increasing its temperature from 36.5°C to 44.4

anygoal [31]

Answer:

a) $\Delta s=443037.9747\ J.K^{-1}$

b) $\Delta s=31868131.8681\ J.K^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

amount of heat transfer occurred, $dQ=3.5\times 10^6\ J$

initial temperature of car, $T_i=36.5+273=309.5\ K$

final temperature of car, $T_f=44.4+273=317.4\ K$

We know that the change in entropy is given by:

$\Delta s=\frac{dQ}{T_f-T_i}$

$\Delta s=\frac{3.5\times 10^6}{(44.4-36.5)}$ (heat is transferred into the system of car)

$\Delta s=443037.9747\ J.K^{-1}$

amount of heat transfer form the system of house, $dQ=5.8\times 10^8\ J$

initial temperature of house, $T_i=23.5+273=296.5\ K$

final temperature of house, $T_f=5.3+273=278.3\ K$

$\Delta s=\frac{dQ}{T_f-T_i}$

$\Delta s=\frac{5.8\times 10^8}{278.3-296.5}$

$\Delta s=31868131.8681\ J.K^{-1}$

A scientist observes an increase in the rate at which water moves from the hydrosphere to the atmosphere at a particular locatio

Musya8 [376]

At a particular location, when an an increase in the rate at which water moves from the hydrosphere to the atmosphere, an increase in humidity is expected at that location. The term "humidity" generally refers to the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.

How much heat Q H QH does a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 2.10 2.10 deliver when supplied with 1.82 kJ 1.82 kJ

valina [46]

The operating coefficient or performance coefficient of a heat pump is the ratio between the heating or cooling provided and the electricity consumed. The higher coefficients are equivalent to lower operating costs. The coefficient can be greater than 1, because it is a percentage of the output: losses, other than the thermal efficiency ratio: input energy. Mathematically can be written as,

$\text{Coefficient of performance} = \frac{\text{Heat extracted}}{\text{Electrical energy supplied}}$
