Answer:

(1) A hot drink cooling to room temperature.

(2) The combustion of natural gas.

Explanation:

The spontaneous process is the process in which there is a release of energy and moves towards lower energy and a more thermodynamically stable energy state. All the natural processes are spontaneous.

There are two processes which are spontaneous in the given question are:

(1) A hot drink cooling to room temperature: In this, there is a decrease in energy and also it is a natural process and we know that all the natural processes are spontaneous.

(2) The combustion of natural gas: The fire is an example of an exothermic reaction. The combustion is a combination of a decrease in energy and an increase in entropy. So, this process occurs spontaneously.

The stoplights on a street are designed to keep traﬃc moving at 26 mi/h. the average length of a street block between traﬃc ligh

bonufazy [111]

We use the formula,

$v = \frac{d}{t}$ .

Here, v is velocity and its value given 26 mi/h ( in m/s, $\frac{26 \times 1.609 \times 10^{3} m}{60 \times 60 s} =11.62 \ m/s$ ) and d is distance and its value is given 80 m.

Substituting these values in above formula we get,

$t = \frac{80 m}{11.62m/s } = 6.88 \ s$

Thus, the time delay between green lights on successive blocks to keep the traﬃc moving continuously is 6.88 s

A block weighing 10 newtons is resting on a plane inclined 30° to the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the normal force acti

aleksley [76]

Magnitude of normal force acting on the block is 7 N

Explanation:

10N = 1.02kg

Mass of the block = m = 1.02 kg

Angle of incline Θ = 30°

Normal force acting on the block = N

From the free body diagram,

N = mgCos Θ

N = (1.02)(9.81)Cos(30)

N = 8.66 N

Rounding off to nearest whole number,

N = 7 N

Magnitude of normal force acting on the block = 7 N

Two polarizers A and B are aligned so that their transmission axes are vertical and horizontal, respectively. A third polarizer

Reptile [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the angle between the first polariser and the second polariser axis is θ.

By using of law of Malus

(a)

Let the intensity of light coming out from the first polariser is I'

$I' = I_{0}Cos^{2}\theta$ .... (1)

Now the angle between the transmission axis of the second and the third polariser is 90 - θ. Let the intensity of light coming out from the third polariser is I''.

By the law of Malus

$I'' = I'Cos^{2}\left ( 90-\theta \right )$

So,

$I'' = I_{0}Cos^{2}\theta Cos^{2}\left ( 90-\theta \right )$

$I'' = I_{0}Cos^{2}\theta Sin^{2}\theta$

$I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{4}Sin^{2}2\theta$

(b)

Now differentiate with respect to θ.

$I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{4}\times 2 \times 2 \times Sin2\theta \times Cos 2\theta$

$I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{2}\times Sin 4\theta$

A student draws a picture of the products and reactants of a chemical reaction. What, if anything, is wrong with the drawing?

ASHA 777 [7]

The complete question is: A student draws a picture of the products and reactants of a chemical reaction. What, if anything, is wrong with the drawing?

A) The drawing is wrong because there are more chemicals on the products side.

B) The drawing is correct because there are 12 compounds on each side of the arrow.

C) The drawing is wrong because there are different compounds on each side of the arrow.

D) The drawing is correct because there are 12 atoms of each type on each side of the arrow.

Answer:

Option D is correct

Explanation:

In the diagram attached below, it can be seen that there are 12 atoms of element which combine with 12 atoms of another element forming a compound. For the drawing to be correct, there should be 12 atoms of each type of element on both the reactants as well as product side, which is the case. There cannot be imbalance in the number of atoms of different elements on the two sides for a chemical reaction to occur.

Hence, option D is correct.
