a) Cumulus is 100% the correct answer
By looking at the potential energies before and after the reaction, we can tell that the reaction is exothermic (final < initial) or endodermic (final > initial).
Also, the amount of activation energy gives an idea of the external energy required to initiate the reaction (for example, by heating the reactants).
Furthermore, by the same principle, we can also deduce the activation energy for the reverse reaction.
If a catalyst is available, the diagram will show a reduced activation energy, compared to a reaction without catalyst. However, it will also show that the catalyst does not alter the initial and final energies of the reaction.
You have to solve this by using the equations of motion:
u=3
v=0
s=2.5
a=?
v^2=u^2+2as
0=9+5s
Giving a=-1.8m/s^2
Then using the equation:
F=ma
F is the frictional force as there is no other force acting and its negative as its in the opposite direction to the direction of motion.
-F=25(-1.8)
F=45N
Then use the formula:
F=uR
Where u is the coefficient of friction, R is the normal force and F is the frictional force.
45=u(25g)
45=u(25*10)
Therefore, the coefficient of friction is 0.18
Hope that helps
Answer:
allows for better thermal equilibrium
Explanation:
Due to the cone shape, most of the liquid will be closer to the bottom than the top. The large surface area of the bottom allows for faster heating.
