In a oxidation-reduction reaction, the oxidizing agent always undergoes reduction.

TRUE.

Answer: True

Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of an atom, ion or molecule changes due transfer of electrons between two reactants is known as oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction. In Redox reaction, the oxidising agent brings oxidation by gaining electrons and reducing it self.

Example:

Zn + Cu²⁺ → Zn²⁺ + Cu

Here, Cu²⁺ is an oxidizing agent which got reduced to Cu .

Thus, the given statement is true.

Why is it that the two possible faults with inductors are short circuit and open circuit?

lukranit [14]

These are the most common type of faults not just inductors but also with other elements too like resistors,transformers, generators etc.
open circuit fault means the flow of current is disrupted some how in the circuit and the circuit stops operating. and for short circuit fault the current in the system will be pretty high and this short circuit current or fault current will always run back to the fault location, if the inductor got short circuited somehow then the fault current will only run through it because it will then provide a very low impedence path

How long does it take (in minutes) for light to reach venus from the sun, a distance of 1.152 × 108 km?

7nadin3 [17]

Using the precise speed of light in a vacuum ( $299,792,458 \ \frac{m}{s}$ ), and your given distance of $1.152 * 10^{8} km$ , we can convert and cancel units to find the answer. The distance in m, using $\frac{1000 \ m}{1 \ km}$ , is $1.152 * 10^{11} m$ . Next, for the speed of light, we convert from s to min, using $\frac{1 \ min}{60 \ s}$ , so we divide the speed of light by 60. Finally, dividing the distance between the Sun and Venus by the speed of light in km per min, we find that it is 6.405 min.

At time t1 = 14 s, a car is located at 99, 80, 27 m and has velocity 4, 0, −3 m/s. At time t2 = 18 s, what is the position of th

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

115, 80, 15m

Explanation

t1 = 14s

t2 = 18s

change in time = 4s (18-14)

r(final) = r(initial) + (average velocity) x (change in time)

multiply the average velocity with the change in time

= (4, 0, -3) x 4 = 16, 0, -12

now we'll add this value to the initial position of the car

(99, 80, 27)m + (16, 0, -12)m = (115, 80, 15)m

Explain the molecular concept of thermal energy.

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The temperature of an object increases when the molecules that make up that object move faster. Thermal energy is energy possessed by an object or system due to the movement of particles within the object or the system.

Use V=Voe^-t/RC and T=RC to derive T1/2=Tln2

Ksju [112]

Enclosed is some guidance algebra.I find this q a little confusing. It quotes "RC" which usually makes me think of electrical circuits and time constants based on converting calculating RC value and equating that to t for one time constant then 2RC for two time constants etc. The theory being that after 5 time constants - 5RC - a circuit is stable. BUT, this q then goes on to mention HALF LIFE. The curves for both half life and time constant are both exponential, as in the number e to the power of something, but the algebra is slightly different. I hope my algebra is ok.
