Why sodium &pottasium are kept under kerosine

As they are Alkali metals (group 1), they are extremely reactive in both air and water so must be stored in kerosine to stop them from reacting with the air or water.

A car is moving at a constant speed of 14 m/s when the driver presses down on the gas pedal and accelerates for 14 s with an acc
Vinil7 [7]

acceleration of car is 1.8 m/s^2

time = 14 s

initial speed = 14 m/s

so the final speed is calculated by

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 14 + 14 * 1.8

v_f = 39.2 m/s

so the total distance moved in this interval of time is

d = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2}* t

d = \frac{39.2 + 14}{2}* 14

d = 372.4 m

now the average speed is given as

v = \frac{d}{t}

v = \frac{372.4}{14}

v = 26.6 m/s

so the average speed will be 26.6 m/s

An air pump does 5,600 J of work to launch a water bottle rocket into the air. If the air pump applies 150 N of force to the roc
Alchen [17]

Answer: 53 m

Explanation:

Work = Force × Displacement

W= F s cosΘ

Where, s is the displacement and F is the force. Θ is the angle between force and displacement

F cosθ is the component of force acting in the horizontal direction.

The air pump applies F = 150 N force at an angle Θ = 45°

W = 5600 J

⇒s = W/F cosθ

\Rightarrow s =\frac{5600 J}{150\times cos 45^o}\approx 53 m

Thus, the horizontal distance the water bottle rocket travels is 53 m

Three objects having the same mass begin at the same height, and all move down the same vertical distance H. One falls straight
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Work done in all the three cases will be the same.

Explanation:

1) The free falling body has only one force acting on it, the gravitational force. The work done on the body = mgH (Gravitational potential energy)

2) There are two forces acting on the body going down on a frictionless inclined plane - gravity and the normal force. The gravitational potential energy will be the same. The work done due to the normal force is zero, since the direction of the force is perpendicular to the displacement. Hence, total work done on the body = mgH

3) In the case of the body swinging on the end of a string, the change in gravitational potential enrgy will once again be the same since difference in height is H. The additional force on the body is the tension due to the string. But the work done due to this force is <em>zero, </em>since the displacement of the body is perpendicular to the tension. Therefore, the total work done on the body is once again mgH.

Hazel recently read an article that claimed that radio waves can cause electron displacement. Based on
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Based on  the passage, the article's claim is not true.  Therefore, the answer is:

No, because radio waves  have energies that are too  low to fall in the ionizing  range.

Explanation:

Radio waves are generally known as forms of non-ionizing radiation.  This means that they do not have enough energy, unlike microwaves, to separate electrons from atoms or molecules, thereby ionizing them.  They cannot cause electron displacement, as claimed in the article.  Therefore, they cannot break chemical bonds, which can cause chemical reactions or DNA damage. As non-ionizing radiation, radio waves occur at lower frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum.
