In the Inca civilization what was the quipo used for?

5 0

It involved knots in strings called quipu. The quipu was not a calculator, rather it was a storage device. Remember that the Incas had no written records and so the quipu played a major role in the administration of the Inca empire since it allowed numerical information to be kept.

Balanced nuclear equation, what two things must be conserved

In-s [12.5K]

If you only want to balance nuclear reactions, then you should know that number of nucleons are conserved before and after nuclear reaction. Also, charge is conserved as well.
Other things which are conserved in a nuclear reaction are:
Conservation of:
1. Parity
2. Spin
3. angular momentum(vector sum of intrinsic spin and orbital angular momentum)
4. linear momentum
5. Isotopic spin
6. Energy

Can someone please help me on #17? I don’t get it :(

Given is the specific heat of water equal to 4.18 Joule per gram per *C.

This means to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 degree Celsius we need 4.18 joule of energy.

Now, look at the question. We are asked that how much amount of energy would be required to raise the temperature of 25 g of water by (54-50) = 4 degree celsius.

To do so we have formula

Q = m C (temperature difference)
