The correct answer is D. The law of conservation of mass states that in a system matter can neither be created or destroyed, hence atoms of each element on reactant side should equal atoms of each element on product side. In the unbalanced equation:

C_2H_4 + O_2 ==> H_2O + CO_2, the are 2 carbon atoms on reactant side as opposed to 1 carbon atom on product side,  there are 4 hydrogen atoms on reactant side as opposed to 2 hydrogen atoms on product side, and there are 2 oxygen atoms on reactant side as opposed to 3 atoms of oxygen on product side. To balance the equation we add a coefficient of 3 on O_2 and on the product side we put a coefficient of 2 on both water H_2O and carbon dioxide CO_2.

C_2H_4 + 3O_2 ==> 2H_2O + 2CO_2.

The answer is a

the equation needs to be balanced. There are fewer oxygen atoms in the equation than hydrogen or a carbon

A motorist drives south at 20m/s for 3 min then turns west and travels 25 m
Over [174]
If the motorist travelled at 20 meters a second for three minutes, 3 minutes is the same as 180 seconds, you multiply 20 times 180, which equals 3600, add 25, and the answer is 3625.

Monochromatic x rays are incident on a crystal for which the spacing of the atomic planes is 0.440 nm . The first-order maximum
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Wavelength of the x rays is \lambda=2.79\times 10^{-10}\ m

Explanation:

It is given that,

The inter planer spacing between the crystal planes, d=0.44\ nm=0.44\times 10^{-9}\ m

The first-order maximum in the Bragg reflection occurs when the incident and reflected x rays make an angle of 39.4 degrees with the crystal planes. According to the Bragg's condition, the first-order maximum is given by :

d\ sin\theta=n\lambda

n = 1

d\ sin\theta=\lambda

0.44\times 10^{-9}\times \ sin(39.4)=\lambda

\lambda=2.79\times 10^{-10}\ m

So, the wavelength of the x rays is 2.79\times 10^{-10}\ m. Hence, this is the required solution.

A machine had a mechanical advantage of 4.5 what force is out out by the machine if the force applied to the machine is 800n
mrs_skeptik [129]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

D. 3600 N

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Mechanical advantage is the ratio of force output from a machine divided by the force input into the machine.

That is;

Mechanical advantage = Output Force/Input Force

In this case;

Input force = 800 N

Thus;  Output force = M. A × input force

                                 = 4.5 × 800

                                 = 3600 N

Therefore; the output force by the machine is 3600 N

If it had been thrown with twice the speed in the same direction, it would have hit the ground in If it had been thrown with twi
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The ball will reach the ground in 0.8s

Option C

Explanation:

Given:

- Takes t = 0.8 s for ball to reach ground when thrown horizontal from top of a building.

Find:

If it had been thrown with twice the speed in the same direction, it would have hit the ground in how many second.

Solution:

- We know that the amount of time taken to hit the ground is determined by the vertical distance i.e height at which it is thrown. The displacement of ball from top is given by:

                                    S_y = S_o + V_i,y*t + 0.5*g*t^2

- We know that the S_o = height of the building.

 We also know that the ball os thrown horizontally; hence, y-component of initial velocity is zero. V_y,i = 0

                                    0 = h + 0 + 0.5*g*t^2

- Hence, the time taken t is:

                                    t = sqrt ( 2h / g)

- The time taken to reach the ground is independent of the initial speed. Hence, the ball will reach the ground in 0.8s .
