The heat required to convert the unknown substance X from one phase to another is 1600 J times the specific heat of that substance.

Explanation:

The heat energy required to convert a substance or to heat up or increase the temperature of a substance can be obtained from the specific heat formula.

As per this formula, the heat energy applied should be equal to the product of  mass of the substance with temperature gradient and also with specific heat of the substance. Basically, the heat provided to increase or convert a substance should be more than the specific heat of the substance.

Q = mc del T

Since, here the mass of the substance X is given as m = 20g and the temperature change is given from -10°C to 70°C.

Then ΔT = (70-(-10))=70+10=80°C.

As the substance is unknown, the specific heat of that substance can also not be determined. Hence keep it as C.

Q = 20*C*80

Q = 1600C J

Thus, the heat required to convert the unknown substance X from one phase to another is 1600 J times the specific heat of that substance.

<h2>Volume of vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida = 3.67 x 10⁹ L</h2>

Explanation:

The Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida has a volume of 3,666,500 m³.

Volume = 3,666,500 m³

1 m³ = 1000 L

So volume = 3,666,500 x 1000 = 3666500000 L

Volume of vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida = 3666500000 L

Volume of vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida = 3.67 x 10⁹ L

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Match the sentences with the steps of the scientific method
Assoli18 [71]

Solution:

Make an Observation - An indoor plant in a dark room withers faster than the same plant in a room with ample sunlight.

Ask a question- Why do certain indoor plants die faster based on where they are placed in the house?

State a hypothesis- Sunlight is probably essential for plants to grow and live.

Run an experiment- Get two potted plants. Cover one with black paper. Place both plants outside in sunlight. See what happens to each plant after one week.

Analyze the results-The plant in the pot with black paper withered. The other plant was healthy.

Communicate the results to others - Plants need sunlight to make food so they can live.

Where is the steering nozzle located on a pwc?
Dvinal [7]
At the rear.

PWC stands for personal watercraft, and it is a small powerboat. The main components of a PWC are the hull (body of the boat), deck (surface where people walk/stand), throttle (controls speed), steering nozzle and water intake.

A photon is scattered from an initially stationary electron within a metal. How does the frequency of the photon change upon sca
sammy [17]

Answer:

The frequency of the photon decreases upon scattering

Explanation:

Here we note that when a photon is scattered by a charged particle, it is referred to as Compton scattering.

Compton scattering results in a reduction of the energy of the photon and hence an increase in the wavelength (from λ to λ') of the photon known as Compton effect.

Therefore, since the wavelength increases, we have from

λf = λ'f' = c

f = c/λ

Where:

f and f' = The frequency of the motion of the photon before and after the scattering

c = Speed of light (constant)

We have that the frequency, f, is inversely proportional to the wavelength, λ as follows;

f = c/λ

As λ = increases, and c is constant, f decreases, therefore, the frequency of the photon decreases upon scattering.

A person standing for a long time gets tired when he does not appear to do any work .why?​
Keith_Richards [23]

Explanation:

A person standing still for a long time feels tired because the force of gravity acts on our body and puts stress on our muscles. so our muscles need energy to do work and keep body balanced and help to stand upright.
