Substances that prevent or reduce the rate of a chemical reaction are called as inhibitors.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Inhibitors are those substances that either prevent or reduce the rate of a chemical reaction. Ex: Acetanilide slows down the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide solution.
Inhibitors even reduce the effectiveness of catalysts without hindering their composition. There are primarily two kinds of inhibitors- reversible and irreversible. Where, reversible inhibitors slows the rate of any reaction, irreversible inhibitors completely prevents the unwanted reactions.
Where catalysts are used to increase the rate of a reaction, inhibitors stand as a wall for the unwanted reactions to occur. For example, in case of silver tarnishing, to prevent silver jewellery being tarnished, a thin layer of rhodium is applied on it which works like an inhibitor for formation reaction of silver sulphides (the tarnish).
R = ρl/A
Where R = Resistance in Ohms, Ω, ρ = Resistivity in Ωm, l = Length in m.
Area in m²
ρ = Resistivity = 3.14 * 10⁻⁸ Ωm, Length l = 12m,
Area = πr² = π* (2*10⁻⁴)² m² ≈ 3.14 * (2*10⁻⁴)² m²
R = ρl/A
≈ 3.14 * 10⁻⁸ * 12 / (3.14 * (2*10⁻⁴)²)
≈ 3
Resistance, R ≈ 3 Ω
Average acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
The missile's change in speed is (5,000 - 0) = 5,000 m/s
Average acceleration = (5,000 m/s) / (10 sec)
= 500 m/s² (about 51 Gs)
Inconveniently, this isn't one of the choices on the list. Is there something wrong, either with the choices or with my solution ?
No. Relax. Everything is OK.
500 meters is the same thing as 0.5 kilometer. So my answer can also be written as 0.5 km/s² . That doesn't change anything, and it IS one of the listed choices.
The average acceleration is <em>0.5 km/sec² (d)</em> .
The question is incomplete. If D=1/T then the answer is D, but if instead of =, there is a proportional sign, then the answer is C.
