When coal is burned, Chemical energy is being converted to Heat/Thermal energy.

As we energy is being neither created nor destroyed but transforms or converts from one form to another. In this way, chemical energy is stored in fuels like coal and when we it is burned, the energy is being converted to chemical energy.

cluponka [151]

Answer:

The thickness is $\Delta y = 2.4 *10^{-6} \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength is $\lambda = 480 \ nm = 480*10^{-9} \ m$

The first order of the dark fringe is $m_1 = 16$

The second order of dark fringe considered is $m_2 = 6$

Generally the condition for destructive interference is mathematically represented as

$y = \frac{m \lambda}{2}$

Here y is the path difference between the central maxima(i.e the origin) and any dark fringe

So the path difference between the 16th dark fringe and the 6th dark fringe is mathematically represented as

$y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y = \frac{m_1 \lambda}{2} - \frac{m_2 \lambda}{2}$

=> $y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y = \frac{16 *480*10^{-9}}{2} - \frac{6 *480*10^{-9}}{2}$

=> $y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y = 5 (480*10^{-9})$

=> $\Delta y = 2.4 *10^{-6} \ m$

A car which is traveling at a velocity of 15 m/s undergoes an acceleration of 6.5 m/s2 over a distance of 340 m. How fast is it

fomenos

Answer:68.15m/s

Explanation:

Given:

v₁=15m/s

a=6.5m/s²

v₁=?

x=340m

Formula:

v₁²=v₁²+2a (x)

Set up:

= $\sqrt{15m/s} ^{2} +2(6.5m/s^2)(340m)$

<h2>Solution:</h2><h2>68.15m/s</h2>

If measurements of gas are 75 L and 300 kIlopascals and then the gas is measured is second time and found to be 50 L, describe w

Ann [662]

Answer:

The pressure must have increased in the process

Explanation:

The State Equation for gasses reads: $P*V=n*R*T$

where P is the gas' pressure, V its volume, n the number of moles of gas, R the gas constant and T the temperature in degrees Kelvin.

If the temperature of the gas doesn't change in the described process, the right hand side of the equation stays the same. If that is the case, given that when the Volume of the gas diminishes from 75 liters to 50 liters, then the pressure must have increased to keep that product "P * V" constant:

$P_i*V_i=P_f*V_f\\75 *300=50*X\\X=\frac{75*300}{50} =450$

So the pressure must have gone up to 450 kilopascals.
