Which substances resist pH changes? <br> Acids<br> Hydrogen ions<br> Buffers<br> Bases

Vikki [24]

The correct choice is Buffers.

Buffers contains both acids and bases in equilibrium.when base is added to buffers, they adjust the pH value by releasing hydrogen ions.when acid is added to buffers, they adjust the pH value by consuming hydrogen ions. hence these substances resist any change in their pH value by releasing or absorbing hydrogen ions.This process keeps the pH value constant.

A small 16 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 4 m/s. What is the canoe's kinetic energy?

seraphim [82]

Kinetic Energy,K.E=1/2MV²

mass,m=16kg

velocity,v=4m/s

K.E=1/2×16×4²

=128kgm²/s²

=128 Joules

A small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Time taken, $T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}$

Explanation:

It is given that, a small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal circle so that the thread’s trajectory describes a cone as shown in attached figure.

From the figure,

The sum of forces in y direction is :

$T\ cos\theta-mg=0$

$T=\dfrac{mg}{cos\theta}$

Sum of forces in x direction,

$T\ sin\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$ .............(1)

Also, $r=l\ sin\theta$

Equation (1) becomes :

$mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{l\ sin\theta}$

$v=\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}$ ...............(2)

Let t is the time taken for the ball to rotate once around the axis. It is given by :

$T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}$

Put the value of T from equation (2) to the above expression:

$T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}}$

$T=\dfrac{2\pi l\ sin\theta}{\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}}$

On solving above equation :

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A blue ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 23.9 m/s, from a height of 0.8 meters above the ground. 2.9 seconds after

murzikaleks [220]

<span>At the exact instant the blue ball reaches maximum height, it is stationary for that millisecond in time before it begins to fall, therefore its speed is zero. (The other factors listed have no effect on the speed at the moment of maximum height.)</span>

Why does the moon exert a greater tidal influence than the sun?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Well, I'm not sure right now that it actually does.

But if it does, that's because the sun is about 400 times
FARTHER from the Earth than the moon is.
