Water breaks down into hydrogen and oxygen: It is a decomposition reaction as a single substance decomposes to give two products.

$H_2O \rightarrow H_2 +\frac {1}{2}O_2$

Leaves make starch using chlorophyll and carbon dioxide: Synthesis reaction: as the synthesis reaction involves two or more than two reactants which join together to result into a single main product along with the formation of simple by products.

$6CO_2 + 6H_2O \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2$

Food burns in oxygen gas and releases a lot of energy: Combustion: Combustion process involves the use of oxygen to give products along with release of energy.

$C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2\rightarrow 6CO_2 + 6H_2O$

Adding vinegar (acid) to baking soda (alkali) gives a product that is neither acidic nor alkaline: Neutralization: acetic acid in vinegar reacts with soda (base) to give salt (neutral) and .

$CH_3COOH + NaHCO_3\rightarrow CH_3COONa +H_2O + CO_2$

Why are the meters squared in the formula to calculate acceleration?

lianna [129]

Answer:

During acceleration, you are moving across a distance over a time, but also increasing how fast we are doing it. Therefore, it means by how many meters per second the velocity changes every second

Determine a formula for the magnitude of the force F exerted on the large block (Mc) so that the mass Ma does not move relative

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force F is given by

F = ( $M_{a}$ + $M_{b}$ + $M_{c}$ ) *( $M_{b}$ *g/( $\sqrt{M_{a} ^{2}-M_{b} ^{2}}$ ))

Explanation:

Given there are three blocks of masses $M_{a}$ , $M_{b}$ and $M_{c}$ (ref image in attachment)

When all three masses move together at an acceleration a, the force F is given by

F = ( $M_{a}$ + $M_{b}$ + $M_{c}$ ) *a ................(equation 1)

Also it is given that $M_{a}$ does not move with respect to $M_{c}$ , which gives tension T is exerted on pulley by $M_{a}$ only, Hence tension T is

T = $M_{a}$ *a ..........(equation 2)

There is also also tension exerted by $M_{b}$ . There are two components here: horizontal due to acceleration a and vertical component due to gravity g. Thus tension is given by

T = $M_{b}$ $\sqrt{a^{2} +g^{2} }$ ................(equation 3)

From equation 2 and 3, we get

$M_{a}$ *a = $M_{b}$ $\sqrt{a^{2} +g^{2} }$

Squaring both sides we get

$M_{a} ^{2}$ * $a^{2}$ = $M_{b} ^{2}$ * ( $a^{2}$ + $g^{2}$ )

$M_{a} ^{2}$ * $a^{2}$ = ( $M_{b} ^{2}$ * $a^{2}$ )+ ( $M_{b} ^{2}$ * $g^{2}$ )

( $M_{a} ^{2}$ - $M_{b} ^{2}$ ) * $a^{2}$ = $M_{b} ^{2}$ * $g^{2}$

$a^{2}$ = $M_{b} ^{2}$ * $g^{2}$ /( $M_{a} ^{2}$ - $M_{b} ^{2}$ )

Taking square root on both sides, we get acceleration a

a = $M_{b}$ *g/( $\sqrt{M_{a} ^{2}-M_{b} ^{2}}$ )

Hence substituting the value of a in equation 1, we get

F = ( $M_{a}$ + $M_{b}$ + $M_{c}$ ) *( $M_{b}$ *g/( $\sqrt{M_{a} ^{2}-M_{b} ^{2}}$ ))

You rapidly swirl a mixture of substances with different densities

borishaifa [10]

Having different densities being swirled rapidly will cause sedimentation. Sedimentation is the segmentation of the mixture creating layers of particles of these different densities. The process of rapid swirling is called differential centrifugation. An example use of this method is separation human blood into, red, platelet and white blood cells.
