Soil can best be described as the
a. layer of bedrock four layers beneath the earth's surface.
b. sandy bottom of the ocean's floor.
c. loose covering of weathered rocks and decaying organic matter.
d. third layer beneath the earth's surface.

What if? physicists often measure the momentum of subatomic particles moving near the speed of light in units of mev/c, where c is the speed of light, and 1 mev = 1.6 ✕ 10−13 kg · m2/s2. based on this, what are the units of momentum for a high-speed subatomic particle in terms of fundamental si units?

Apendulum has a mass of 1.5 kg and starts at a height of 0.4 m. if it is released from rest, how fast is it going when it reaches the lowest point of its path? acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m/s2. a. 2.8 m/s b. 0 m/s c. 5.9 m/s d. 4.3 m/s

The energy released by a chemical reaction can be measured using a calorimeter. when barium hydroxide octahydrate crystals are reacted with dry ammonium chloride inside of a coffee cup calorimeter, the temperature of the 18.00 g of water in the calorimeter decreases from 30.0°c to 8.0°c. the equation for calculating energy absorbed or released by a reaction is: where q is the energy released or absorbed, m is the mass of water in the calorimeter, cp is the specific heat of water, and δt is the observed temperature change. if the specific heat of liquid water is 4.19 j/g·°c, how much energy was absorbed by the reaction?
