Answer:

If a substance absorbs energy but its temperature does not change, then the internal <u>POTENTIAL</u> energy is changing.

Explanation:

As we know that the internal energy of the molecules in terms of their kinetic energy is directly related to the temperature of the gas

Here we know that

$KE = \frac{3}{2}nRT$

so if the energy is transferred in the form of kinetic energy of the molecules then it will increase the temperature of the gas

so here it says that the substance absorbs the energy but its temperature does not change then it means the kinetic energy of the gas will remain constant

So this energy will convert into its potential energy

so correct answer will be

If a substance absorbs energy but its temperature does not change, then the internal <u>POTENTIAL</u> energy is changing.

A 1500-W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120-V circuit that has a 20-A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hai

Korolek [52]

Answer:

b) 900 W

Explanation:

The breaker trips when the current is equal to 20 A. The power (P) is the ddp (V) multiplied by the current. So, for the electric heater, the current is:

P = V*i

1500 = 120*i

i = 12.5 A

So, to become in 20 A, it's needed 7.5 A, which must come from the hairdryer. Its power must be:

P = 120*7.5

P = 900 W

Explain how streams can erode soil and transport materials?

vladimir1956 [14]

The eroded rock and soil materials that are transported downstream by a river are called its load. A river transports, or carries, its load in three different ways: in solution, in suspension, and in its bed load. Mineral matter that has been dissolved from bedrock is carried in solution. Common minerals carried in solution by rivers include dissolved calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate. Most of a river’s solution load comes from groundwater seeping into the river. Before it reaches the stream,thegroundwaterhastraveledthroughfracturesinthebedrock, chemically eroding rock along the way. When river water looks muddy, it is carrying rock material in suspension. Suspended material includes clay, silt, and fine sand. Although these suspended materials are heavier than water, the turbulence of the stream flow stirs them up and keeps them from sinking. Turbulence includes swirls and eddies that form in water as a result of friction between the stream and its channel. The faster a stream flows, the more turbulent and muddy it becomes. A rough or irregular channel also increases turbulence. A river may also transport rock materials in its bed load. The bed load consists of sand, pebbles, and boulders that are too heavy to be carried in suspension. These heavier materials are moved along the streambed, especially during floods. Boulders and pebbles roll or slide along the river bed. Large sand grains are pushed along the bottom in a series of jumps and bounces. The relative amounts of a river’s load that are carried in solution, in suspension, and in the bed load depend on the nature of the river, the climate, the type of bedrock, and the season of the year. As a general rule, most of the load carried by the world’s streams and rivers is carried in suspension. The size of a river’s suspended load increases with human land use. Road and building construction and removal of vegetation make it easier for rain to wash sediment into streams and rivers.

Which value is most likely to be the pH of a salt that is formed by the reaction of a strong acid and a weak base?

Mice21 [21]

In a hydrolysis reaction between a strong acid and a weak base, the salt formed will have a pH less than 7. By virtue of this phenomenon between <span>weak bases and strong acids</span>, the anion of the strong acid will fail to attract the hydrogen ion<span>, while the cation from the weak base will donate a </span>proton<span> to the water forming a hydronium ion</span><span>.

A ferry coming into port is sailing at 12 m/s. It takes 2.5km to come to rest in the port. Calculate the deceleration of the fer

pogonyaev

Answer: -0.0288 m/s^2

Explanation:

Let's suppose that the ferry decelerates at a constant rate A (deceleration is an acceleration in the opposite direction to the original motion of an object)

Then the acceleration equation of the ferry will be:

a(t) = -A

(the negative sign is because this acceleration is in the opposite direction with respect to the movement of the ferry)

To get the velocity equation of the ferry, we need to integrate with respect to the time, t, we will get:

v(t) = -A*t + v0

where v0 is the initial velocity of the ferry, v0 = 12m/s.

v(t) = -A*t + 12m/s

For the position equation of the ferry we need to integrate again over time:

p(t) = (-A/2)*t^2 + (12m/s)*t + p0

Where p0 is the initial position of the ferry, in this case, it can be zero, because it will depend on where we put the origin on our coordinate axis.

then p0 = 0m

P(t) = (-A/2)*t^2 + (12m/s)*t

The ferry will come to rest at the moment when it's velocity is equal to zero, this will happen when:

v(t) = 0m/s = -A*t + 12m/s

We need to find the value of t.

A*t = 12m/s

t = (12m/s)/A

Now we can replace this in the position equation because we know that the ferry needs 2.5 km or 2500 meters to come to rest.

p( (12m/s)/A) = 2500m = (-A/2)*( (12m/s)/A)^2 + (12m/s)*((12m/s)/A)

2500m = (-72 m^2/s^2)/A + (144m^2/s^2)/A

2500m = (72 m^2/s^2)/A

2500m*A = (72 m^2/s^2)

A = (72 m^2/s^2)/2500m = 0.0288 m/s^2

and the acceleration of the ferry was -A, then the acceleration of the ferry is:

-0.0288 m/s^2

A car travels 200km in 3.0 hours. Determine the average velocity of the car

Masja [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

The average velocity of the car can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{d}{t } \\$

d is the distance

t is the time taken

From the question we have

$a = \frac{200}{3} \\ = 66.66666...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
