You are out and about in the country and your father sees a rock that he really wants in the yard. now you must get the very heavy rock into the back of a truck. the truck bed is 3 feet off the ground. your father pulls out a 5-foot plank and begins to set up a ramp. at the same time, you (who know about mechanical advantage! ) have found a plank that is 8 feet long, and you show it to your father. which plank will give you the most mechanical advantage? calculate the ma for each plank.

me solve this! it's got me confused

the transfer of heat by electromagnetic radiation is called thermal radiation . it is usually carried out by electromagnetic waves in an energy range just below the visible spectrum, which is the infrared range.

so the answer would be radiation.

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol
