How would scientists most likely describe the system of the Earth in regard to energy? 1. Earth is an isolated closed system because energy only escapes the system as heat travels into space.

2. Earth is an isolated closed system because the atmosphere allows energy from the Sun to enter as heat.

3. Earth is an open system because the atmosphere stops energy from escaping into space.

4. Earth is an open system because heat energy from the Sun enters through the atmosphere.

The earth's moon is unusually large. two popular theories of the moon's origin include the "sister world" hypothesis, which states that the moon formed from the same materials as the earth, near enough to the earth that they fell into orbit around each other. a second theory is the "capture" hypothesis, in which the moon formed elsewhere in the solar system, and the earth's gravity pulled it into its orbit. studies of what the moon is made of indicate that some of its materials had to come from the earth or from the same area of the solar system where the earth had formed. at the same time, the moon does not contain much of the material that makes up the earth's core, so the moon could not have formed from the same materials as the earth. how do the two facts above affect the described theories of the moon's origin? a. they show that scientists will never agree on where the moon came from. b. they show that more experiments on moon formation need to be done. c. they show that no theory accounts for the existence of the moon. d. they show that neither theory is complete and entirely correct.

If i initially have a gas at a pressure of 12 atm, a volume of 23 liters, and a temperature of 200 k, and then i raise the pressure to 14 atm and increase the temperature to 300 k, what is the new volume of the gas?
