The unit of electrical current is the ampere (A).
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

Current unit is ampere (A)

Ampere will be equivalent to = ?

we know,

Current can be define as the charge per unit time

I = \dfrac{Q}{t}

unit of charge(Q) is coulomb which is equal to C.

unit of time(t) is equal to 's'.

now,

I = \dfrac{C}{s}

unit of I = C/s

ampere(A) is equivalent to C/s

The correct answer is option B

Consider the following equilibrium at 979 K for the dissociation of molecular iodine into atoms of iodine. I2(g) equilibrium rea
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:  I_2=  0.0050 M

I = 0.0155 M

Explanation:

Initial moles of  I_2 = 0.072 mole

Volume of container = 3.9 L

Initial concentration of I_2=\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.072moles}{3.9L}=0.018M  

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                 I_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2I(g)

Initial conc.         0.018 M            0

At eqm. conc.    (0.018-x) M      (2x) M  

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

K_c=\frac{[I]^2}{[I_2]}

K_c=\frac{(2x)^2}{0.2-x}

we are given :  K_c=1.60\times 10^{-3}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

1.60\times 10^{-3}=\frac{(2x)^2}{(0.018-x)}

x=0.0025

So, the concentrations for the components at equilibrium are:

[I]=2\times x=2\times 0.0025=0.0050

[I_2]=0.018-x=0.018-0.0025=0.0155

Hence, concentrations of I_2 and I are 0.0050 M ad 0.0155 M respectively.

bija089 [108]

Answer

Mass m = 78 kg

Vertical height in each stage h = 11 m

(a).

Initial speed u = 0

Final speed v = 1.1 m / s

v^2=u^2 + 2 as

1.1^2 = 2 a \times 11

a = 0.055 m/s²

Work done

W_a= m g h + \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

W_a= 78\times 9.8 \times 11 + \dfrac{1}{2} 78 \times 1.1^2

W_a = 8408.4 + 47.19

W_a = 8455.59 J

(b).Work done

W_b= mgh

W_b = 78× 9.8× 11

W_b= 8408.4 J

c)

Work done

W= m g h + \dfrac{1}{2}m(v_f-v_i)^2

Where V = final speed

               = 0

            v = 1.1 m / s

for deceleration a = -0.055 m/s²

now,

F_L = 56 (-0.055+9.8) = 545.72 N

W_c = 545.75 × 11

W_c = 6003.25 J

<span> The statement that best accounts for these different opinions is: scientists propose contradictory ideas to include all possibilities. This statement refers to the scientific method, that is a set of different techniques for investigating phenomena and gaining new knowledge that can improve or correct the previous one. As a result, analysis based on contradicting opinions leads to the progress in scientific sphere.</span>
