Answer:
It depends if they have the same lightbulb in them.
Explanation:
Sorry I didn't see this before...
Okay, I see two major problems with this student's experiment:
1) Nitric acid Won't Dissolve in Methane
Nitric acid is what's called a mineral acid. That means it is inorganic (it doesn't contain carbon) and dissolves in water.
Methane is an organic molecule (it contains carbon). It literally cannot dissolve nitric acid. Here's why:
For nitric acid (HNO3) to dissolve into a solvent, that solvent must be polar. It must have a charge to pull the positively charged Hydrogen off of the Oxygen. Methane has no charge, since its carbon and hydrogens have nearly perfect covalent bonds. Thus it cannot dissolve nitric acid. There will be no solution. That leads to the next problem:
2) He's Not actually Measuring a Solution
He's picking up the pH of the pure nitric acid. Since it didn't dissolve, what's left isn't a solution—it's like mixing oil and water. He has groups of methane and groups of nitric acid. Since methane is perfectly neutral (neither acid nor base), the electronic instrument is only picking up the extremely acidic nitric acid. There's no point to what he's doing.
Does that help?
Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)
Tissa covered 60 meters in 10 seconds. Her average speed was
(60 m) / (10 sec) = 6 m/s.
That's the slope of the dotted line.
Lilly covered 60 meters in 8 seconds. Her average speed was
(60 m) / (8 sec) = 7.5 m/s .
That's the slope of the solid line.
Lilly covered the same distance in less time, and both girls
arrived at the finish line together. Technically, in science talk,
we would say that Lilly ran "faster", and her average speed
was "greater".
We can detect that by looking at the graph, because Lilly's line
has the characteristic of being "steeper", and we know that the
slope of the line on a distance/time graph is "speed".
Work = force * distance
and newton*meters = Joule
In this case, work = 250N*50m = 12500 J
So the answer is D) 12,500 J
When you're out of breath, you feel dizzy, lung pain and maybe even nausea or side pain.
