Answer:

1) combustion can be used as a source of energy.

Combustion is used to power rockets

ii) Decomposition of sugar is a chemical change and new substances are formed.

2)corrosion of pipes

Corrosion of bridges

Corrosion of knives and blades at home

I) iron rusts due to the action of air and moisture bon the metal setting up an electrochemical process in which the iron is the anode. This leads to the corrosion of the iron metal.

ii) Rusting is a problem because it reduces the economic value of iron. Rust weakens iron and threatens the integrity of materials made from iron.

Iron rusting may lead to the collapse of a bridge

Iron rusting makes a blade blunt

Iron rusting weakens pipes made of iron

iii) Rusting of iron can be prevented by galvanizing the iron or by painting the iron.

3) chemical change leads to the formation of a new substance while physical change does not lead to the formation of a new substance.

Chemical changes are not easily reversible while physical changes are easily reversible.

ii)condensation of water vapour is a physical change

iii)

Electrolysis of water;

Two moles of water---> two moles of hydrogen gas + one mole of oxygen gas

Synthesis of water;

two moles of hydrogen gas + one mole of oxygen gas---->Two moles of water

Decomposition of sugar;

One mole of Sucrose---> twelve moles of carbon + eleven moles of water + heat

Six moles of carbon dioxide + six moles of water +energy------> one mole of sugar + six moles of oxygen

Explanation:

Combustion is useful as a source of energy because it is used in power generation. Currently, combustion is being used to power rockets. It is also used as a way of providing heat at home.

One of the characteristics of a chemical change is that it leads to the formation of new substances. Since the decomposition of sugar leads to the formation of carbon and water, it is an irreversible chemical change.

When water is heated, it is converted into vapour which can settle on a surface and convert back to liquid water. This is a physical change.

Answer:

x=2.4365\ m

and

x=-1.4365\ m

Explanation:

Given:

  • first charge, q_1=5\times 10^{-3}\ C
  • second charge, q_2=3\times 10^{-3}\ C
  • position of first charge, x_1=-2\ m
  • position of second charge, x_2=-1\ m

Now since there are only 2 charges and of the same sign so they repel each other. This repulsion will be zero at some point on the line joining the charges.

<u>Now, according to the condition, electric field will be zero where the effects of field due to both the charges is equal.</u>

E_1=E_2

  • since first charge is greater than the second charge so we may get a point to the right of the second charge and the distance between the two charges is 1 meter.

\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \frac{q_1}{(r+1)^2} =\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \frac{q_2}{(r)^2}

\frac{5\times 10^{-3}}{(r+1)^2} = \frac{3\times 10^{-3}}{(r)^2}

3(r^2+1+2r)=5r^2

2r^2-6r-3=0

r=3.4365 \&\ r=-0.4365

Since we have assumed that the we may get a point to the right of second charge so we calculate with respect to the origin.

x=-1+3.4365=2.4365\ m

and

x=-1-0.4365=-1.4365\ m

We are usually not aware of the electric force acting between two everyday objects because
tatuchka [14]

Answer:We are usually not aware of the electric force acting between two everyday objects because most everyday objects have as many plus charges as minus charges. Option A

Explanation:An electric force is exerted between any two charged objects( either positive or negative). Objects with the same charge will repel each other, and objects with opposite charge will attract each other. The strength of the electric force between any two charged objects depends on the amount of charge that each object contains and on the distance between the two charges. Electric charges are generated all around us due to different surfaces bearing different types of charges. We are usually not aware of it because the quantity of positive charges equals the number of negative charges.
