Since most people who are electrocuted don’t blow up, what kills them?

1 answer:

8 0

They are killed mostly by heart attacks. Alternating electrical current interferes with the electrical pulses of the heart produced by the Sino-atrial node hence cause the heart to beat erratically and hence a heart attack and death to result. 7 milliamps to your heart for 3 seconds can cause it to be arrhythmic.

A certain first-order reaction is 58% complete in 95 s. What are the values of the rate constant and the half-life for this proc

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

$0.005734 s^{-1}$ and 20.86 seconds are the values of the rate constant and the half-life for this process respectively..

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$a_o=a\times e^{-kt}$

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

$a_o$ = let initial amount of the reactant

a = amount left after decay process

We have :

$a_o=x$

$a=58\%\times x=0.58x$

t = 95 s

$0.58x=x\times e^{-k\times 95 s}$

$\k= 0.005734 s^{-1}$

Half life is given by for first order kinetics::

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$=\frac{0.693}{0.005734 s^{-1}}=120.86 s$

$0.005734 s^{-1}$ and 20.86 seconds are the values of the rate constant and the half-life for this process respectively..

A projectile has an initial horizontal velocity of 34.0 M/s at the edge of a roof top. Find the horizontal and vertical componen

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

$v_x=34 m/s$

$v_y=53.9\ m/s$

Explanation:

Horizontal Launch

When an object is thrown horizontally with a speed v from a height h, it describes a curved path ruled by gravity until it eventually hits the ground.

The horizontal component of the velocity is always constant because no acceleration acts in that direction, thus:

vx=v

The vertical component of the velocity changes in time because gravity makes the object fall at increasing speed given by:

$v_y=g.t$

The horizontal component of the velocity is always the same:

$v_x=34 m/s$

The vertical component at t=5.5 s is:

$v_y=9.8*5.5=53.9$

$v_y=53.9\ m/s$
