Explanation :

The amplitude, wavelength and time period of three waves are given.

We know that energy of a wave is given by :

E=\dfrac{h\ c}{\lambda}

It is clear that energy of a wave is inversely proportional to the wavelength i.e E\propto \dfrac{1}{\lambda}

So, the wave having less wavelength will have the greatest energy.

Also, we know that energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of amplitude i.e. E\propto(Amplitude)^2

So, again the wave having maximum amplitude will have maximum energy.

Hence, the correct option is (C) i.e. "amplitude = 14 cm; wavelength = 7 cm; period = 12 seconds".

The equation for the energy of a wave is given by the equation of E = A^2 where E is the energy of the wave and A is the amplitude. The higher the amplitude, the greater the energy of the wave is and vice versa. An amplitude of 14cm has the greatest energy of the wave followed by 12cm and then 7cm.

ivann1987 [24]
when column B is like the attached pic: (missing in your question)

so the matches will be like that:

1- Qualitative :

as Qualitative is a general or nonspecific observation, they also don't require

measurements and even can't be measured, that is because of the reality is

being approximated only. It  describes qualities and uses opinion

2- Hypothesis : 

as a hypothesis is an educated guess quantitative, and it is a prediction stated

in " If and then " form. a hypothesis to be valid need a research such as:

-Encyclopedia & state and local research facilities & scientific journals.

3- Direct relationship:

as a Direct relationship is when two variable change in the same direction,

and one remaining larger than the other by the same factory.  

- this is a type of a relationship in which there is a change with one variable, and corresponding with the change in the other. and because this corresponding change with the other variable in the same direction so it refers to a positive relationship. 

4- Quantitative:

as Quantitative is a measured observation, It's an information or data based

on quantities obtained. And using numbers, equipment and standard units.

5- Control :

as control is standard, reference data or experiment qualitatively. this is what

you compare your experimental results to. This is for comparing results, it

used as a standard for comparison and use baseline measurements to use in

the comparing.

6- Theory :

 as Theory is a presently accepted explanation of how something happened.

 Scientifically acceptable general principles to explain phenomena. It the

general or abstract principles of the science. for example the  wave theory of

light.

7- Law :

as a law is a statement that explains what something does under the same

conditions. when we take about law in science, it is a general rule to explain

the observations in the form of a mathematical statement. Scientific law may 

be stated in words or expressed as a mathematical equations.

8- Best fit curve:

as best fit curve is a curve drawn to average the data's deviations direct

relationship. It is a process of constructing a curve that has best fit to a

series of data points.

In the reaction between a crushed antacid tablet and vinegar what gas is emitted
Pachacha [2.7K]

The answer is: emitted gas is carbon dioxide (CO₂).

Neutralization is is reaction in which an acid (in this example vinegar or acetic acid CH₃COOH) and a base (in this example soda)

Balanced chemical reaction of vinegar and antacid:

CH₃COOH(aq) + NaHCO₃(aq) → CH₃COONa(aq) + H₂O(l) + CO₂(g).

Sodium acetate (CH₃COONa) is a salt.

Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) is an antacid. Sodium bicarbonate is the active ingredient in baking soda.

Determine the bonding type for boron trihydride given the electronegativity on the Pauling scale for boron is 2.0 and for hydrog
Anika [276]

Answer: The bond between boron and hydrogen in boron trihydride is covalent bond.

Explanation:

The type of bonding between the atoms forming a compound is determined by using the electronegativity difference between the atoms. According to the pauling's electronegativity rule:

  • If \Delta \chi=0, then the bond is non-polar.
  • If \Delta \chi\leq 1.7, then the bond will be covalent.
  • If \Delta \chi>1.7, then the bond will be ionic.

We are given:

Electronegativity for boron = 2.0

Electronegativity for hydrogen = 2.1

\Delta \chi=\chi_{H}-\chi_{B}\\\\\Delta \chi=2.1-2.0=0.1

As, \Delta \chi is less than 1.7 and not equal to 0. Hence, the bond between boron and hydrogen is covalent bond.
