17.3 would be the correct answer.

Oduvanchick [21]2 years ago

Answer: The correct answer is option(D).

Explanation:

Distance travel by car in north of east = 20 miles

In a triangle ABC

Cos\theta =\frac{BC}{AC}

Cos 30^o=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{BC}{20}

BC=17.32

The east component of the car’s displacement to the nearest tenth of a mile 17.32 miles.

A 0.500 kg aluminum pan on a stove is used to heat 0.250 liters of water from 20.0ºC to 80.0ºC. (a) How much heatis required? Wh
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

heat used to rise temperature pan =  30.1%

heat used to rise temperature water =  69.9%

Explanation:

Given data

mass of water = 0.250 liter = 0.250 kg

aluminum pan mass = 0.500 kg

initial temperature = 20.0ºC

final temperature =  80.0ºC

to find out

heat used to rise temperature of  pan and water

solution

we find here heat transferred to the water that is

heat transferred to the water = mass of water × specific heat of water × change in temperature    ...........1

specific heat of water is 4186 J/kgºC

so

heat transferred to the water = 0.250 × 4186 × (80-20) kJ

heat transferred to the water = 62.8 kJ

and

heat transferred to the aluminum that is

heat transferred to the aluminum = mass of aluminum × specific heat of aluminum × change in temperature    ...........2

here specific heat of aluminum is 900 J/kgºC

heat transferred to the aluminum = 0.500 × 900 × (80-20) kJ

heat transferred to the aluminum = 27 kJ

so

total heat = 62.8 + 27 = 89.8 kJ

so

heat used to rise temperature pan = 27/89.8 ×100% = 30.1%

heat used to rise temperature water = 62.8 / 89.8 ×100% = 69.9%

Which statement is not a good practice when working inside a computer case?
lozanna [386]

Answer:

a. be sure to hold expansion cards by the edge connectors

Explanation:

Removal of loose jewelry is a good safety practice. Also not touching a microchip with a magnetized screwdriver is also a good practice.

But holding expansion cards by the edge connectors is not a good practice, so it is the odd one in the question. Therefore answer option a provides the correct and best answer to the question

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>

At room temperature, a typical person loses energy to the surroundings at the rate of 62 W. If this energy loss has to be made u
Alex_Xolod [135]

To solve this problem it is necessary to use the given proportions of power and energy, as well as the energy conversion factor in Jules to Calories.

The power is defined as the amount of energy lost per second and whose unit is Watt. Therefore the energy loss rate given in seconds was

P = \frac{E}{t} \rightarrow E= Energy, t = time

P = 62W = 62 \frac{J}{s}

The rate of energy loss per day would then be,

P = 62\frac{J}{s} (\frac{86400s}{1day})

P = 5356800 \frac{J}{day}

That is to say that Energy in Jules per lost day is 5356800J

By definition we know that 1KCal = 4.184*10^{6}J

In this way the energy in Cal is,

E = 5356800J \frac{1KCal}{4.184*10^{6}J}

E = 1279.694 KCal

The number of kilocalories (food calories) must be 1279.694 KCal
