Water absorbs and releases large amount of energy before changing temperature, a characteristic known as

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: high heat capacity

Water is having a high heat capacity that makes it more stable because it needs much more energy to heat it up than other liquid. That makes a place with much water is a suitable and safer place for many organisms to grow. Water also can be used for temperature control like sweating in human.

A car traveling at 20 m/s when the driver sees a child standing in the road. He takes 0.80 s to react, then steps on the brakes

mr Goodwill [35]

When driver see the child standing on road his speed is 20 m/s

So here at that instant his reaction time is 0.80 s

He will cover a total distance given by product of speed and time

$d_1 = v* t$

$d_1 = 20 * 0.8$

$d_1 = 16 m$

now after this he will apply brakes with acceleration a = 7 m/s^2

so the distance covered before it stop is given by

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$0 - 20^2 = 2*(-7)*d_2$

$d_2 = 28.6 m$

so the total distance covered by it

$d = d_1 + d_2$

$d = 16 + 28.6 = 44.6 m$

so it will cover a total distance of 44.6 m

Newton’s second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent on 1 variable which is the net force

Darya [45]

I think it’s false. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and then mass of the object.

If you have a 1.0 m aqueous solution of NaCl, by how much will it increase the water’s boiling point, if KB = 0.512 °C/m? In oth

fgiga [73]

Answer: The elevation in boiling point is 1.024°C.

Explanation:

To calculate the elevation in boiling point, we use the equation:

$\Delta T_b=ik_b\times m$

where,

i = Van't Hoff factor = 2 (for NaCl)

$\Delta T_b$ = change in boiling point = ?

$k_b$ = boiling point constant = $0.512^oC/m$

m = molality = 1.0 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta Tb=2\times 0.512^oC/m\times 1.0m\\\\\Delta Tb=1.024^oC$

Hence, the elevation in boiling point is 1.024°C.

A 4.44 l container holds 15.4 g of oxygen at 22.55°c. what is the pressure?

padilas [110]

We will use the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT, where n is moles and equal to mass / Mr
P = mRT/MrV
P = 15.4 x 8.314 x (22.55 + 273) / 32 x 4.44
P = 266.3 kPa
