Answer:

4m/s^2

Explanation:

mass(m)=20 kg

force=80 N

acceleration (a)=?

Therefore,

Force = mass * acceleration

80 = 20*a

a=80/20

=4m/s^2

For the following elementary reaction 2br• -> br2-. The rate of consumption of the reaction and the rate of formation of prod

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: $-\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{d[Br^.]}{dt}=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}$

Explanation:

Rate of a reaction is defined as the rate of change of concentration per unit time.

Thus for reaction:

$2Br^.\rightarrow Br_2$

The rate in terms of reactants is given as negative as the concentration of reactants is decreasing with time whereas the rate in terms of products is given as positive as the concentration of products is increasing with time.

$Rate=-\frac{d[Br^.]}{2dt}$

or $Rate=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}$

Thus $-\frac{d[Br^.]}{2dt}=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}$

A small 18 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 1 m/s. What is the canoe's kinetic energy?

In-s [12.5K]

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed²).

A Physicist in the canoe, or on a raft floating downriver next to the canoe, will say that the canoe's kinetic energy is zero.

A Physicist on the riverbank, watching the canoe drift by at 1 m/s, will say that its kinetic energy is 9 Joules.

They're both correct.

Displacement vectors of 4km north, 2km south, 5km north, 5km south combine to a total displacement of

goldfiish [28.3K]

<u>Answer</u>

The combined displacement is 2km north

<u>Explanation</u>

Since displacement is a vector quantity, we take into account the direction.

Good for us all the displacement vectors are in the same dimension, so we can make north positive and south negative or vice-versa.

We now add to obtain,

$4+-2+5+-5$

This will simplify to

$=4-2+5-5=2$

Therefore the combined displacement is 2km north

If a microwave oven produces electromagnetic waves with a frequency of 2.30 ghz, what is their wavelength?

vovikov84 [41]

Answer: wavelength is $1.30 \times 10^8 nm.$

The frequency of the microwave is, f = 2.30 GHz.

To Find frequency use the formula:

$c=f$ λ

Where, c is the speed of electromagnetic wave or light. f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength of light.

Rearranging, $\lambda = \frac{c}{f}$

Plug in the values,

$\lambdam = \frac{3 \times 10^8 m/s}{2.30 GHz\frac{10^9 Hz}{1 GHz}}=0.130 m\frac{10^9 nm}{1 m} = 1.30 \times 10^8 nm.$
