Why aren’t the Appalachian Mountains still as tall as the Himalayas?

Answer:

It probably won't get any taller, though. From a geological standpoint, the Appalachians haven't seen much growth in quite a while. Since the dawn of the dinosaurs about 225 million years ago, this range has been getting whittled down by weathering forces.

Answer:

mountains are limited in their theoretical height by several processes. First is isostasy: the bigger a mountain gets, the more it weighs down its tectonic plate, so it sinks lower. ... Bottom line: mountains can get taller than Mount Everest in earth gravity, like the Appalachians probably did—but not much taller.

A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. What is the canoe’s kinetic energy? A. 40 J B. 80 J C. 18 J
rusak2 [61]

A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. 40 J is the canoe’s kinetic energy.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given canoe has the mass and is being given to move at a speed. Therefore the kinetic energy of the canoe can be calculated using the following method,

Given that mass of the canoe = 20 kg and its speed =1 m/s

As we know that the Kinetic energy has the formula,

\text {Kinetic energy}=\frac{1}{2} \boldsymbol{m} \boldsymbol{v}^{2}

Therefore, substituting the value into the equation, we get,  

K . E .=\frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 2^{2} = 40 J

Mike is standing on the roof of a building looking at the roof of the neighboring building that is 15 meters away and 10 meters
amid [387]

Answer:

Part a)

t = 1.65 s

Part b)

x = 40.4 m

Since the distance of other building is 15 m so YES it can make it to other building

Part c)

v = 27.3 m/s

direction of velocity is given as

[tex]\theta = 26.35 degree

Explanation:

Part a)

acceleration due to gravity on this planet is 3/4 times the gravity on earth

So the acceleration due to gravity on this new planet is given as

a = \frac{3}{4}(9.81)

a = 7.36 m/s^2

now the vertical displacement covered by the canister is given as

y = 10 m

now by kinematics we have

y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

10 = \frac{1}{2}(7.36)t^2

t = 1.65 s

Part b)

Horizontal speed of the canister is given as

v_x = 24.5 m/s

now the distance moved by it

x = v_x t

x = 24.5 (1.65)

x = 40.4 m

Since the distance of other building is 15 m so YES it can make it to other building

Part c)

Final velocity in X direction will remains the same

v_x = 24.5 m/s

final velocity in Y direction

v_y = v_i + at

v_y = 0 + (7.36)(1.65)

v_y = 12.14 m/s

now magnitude of velocity is given as

v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}

v = \sqrt{24.5^2 + 12.14^2}

v = 27.3 m/s

direction of velocity is given as

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{v_y}{v_x}

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{12.14}{24.5}

[tex]\theta = 26.35 degree

At 1 atm pressure, the heat of sublimation of gallium is 277 kj/mol and the heat of vaporization is 271 kj/mol. to the correct n
Andreyy89
Below are the choices that can be found elsewhere:

 a. 268 kJ 
<span>b. 271 kJ </span>
<span>c. 9 kJ </span>
<span>d. 6 kJ
</span>
So the key thing to realize here is what the information given to you actually means. Sublimation is going from a sold to a gas. Vaporization is going from a liquid to a gas. Hence you can create two equations from the information that you have: 

<span>Ga (s) --> Ga (g) delta H = 277 kJ/mol </span>

<span>Ga (l) --> Ga (g) delta H = 271 kJ/mol </span>

<span>From these two equations, you can then infer how to get the melting equation be simply finding the difference between the sublimation (two steps) and vaporization (one step). </span>

<span>Ga (s) --> Ga (l) delta H = 6 kJ/mol </span>

<span>At this point, all you need to do is a bit of stoichiometry. You start with 1.50 mol and multiply by the amount of energy per mole (6 kJ/mol). </span>

<span>*ANSWER* </span>
<span>9 kJ/mol (C)</span>
