Lighting a match results in light and heat. Since energy was not created by the match, what transformation took place?

1 answer:

3 0

Chemical energy stored in the compounds caked on the head of the match, and later the
chemical energy stored in the wood, was released in the form of heat and light when the
chemical compounds got hot enough.

Luda [366]

Answer:

The average velocity is 180 km/hr

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity, u = 60 km per hour

final velocity, v = 120 km per hour

initial time = 1 hour

final time = 2 hour

Initial position = 60 km/h x 1 hour = 60 km

final position = 120 km/h x 2 hour = 240 km

The average velocity is given by;

$V_{avg} = \frac{Final \ position\ - \ Initial \ position}{final \ time\ - \ initial \ time}\\\\V_{avg} = \frac{240km \ - \ 60km}{2hr\ - \ 1hr} \\\\V_{avg} = \frac{180 \ km}{1hr} \\\\V_{avg}= 180 \ km/hr$

Therefore, the average velocity is 180 km/hr

drek231 [11]

Answer:

P₂ = 1.22 kPa

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the equation of state:

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

P₁ = initial pressure = 1 KPa

P₂ = final pressure = ?

V₁ = initial Volume = 1 liter

V₂ = final volume = 1.1 liter

T₁ = initial temperature = 290 k

T₂ = final temperature = 390 k

Therefore,

$\frac{(1\ kPa)(1\ liter)}{290\ k} =\frac{(P_2)(1.1\ liter)}{390\ k}\\\\P_2= \frac{(1\ kPa)(1\ liter)(390\ k)}{(290\ k)(1.1\ liter)}$

P₂ = 1.22 kPa

__________ is the measure of the amount of disordered in a system

kolezko [41]

Entropy is the measure of the amount of disordered in a system.

Explanation:

In 1850, Entropy introduction by the German physicist Rudolf Clausius refers a measurement of the system's thermal energy in unit temperature. It is not for useful work because the work originates from ordered molecular motions. And, this also measures the molecular disturbance or randomness of the system.

The concept behind this provides deep view into spontaneous changes in many everyday phenomena’s. The idea of entropy is a mathematical way of coding an intuitive idea whose processes are impossible, and not violate the basic principle of energy conservation.
