For any object in motion, distance is always _________ displacement

Chemistry
1 answer:
finlep [7]3 years ago
8 0

Distance and displacement are two quantities that may seem to mean the same thing yet have distinctly different definitions and meanings.


Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.

Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

What is the potential energy of the bowling ball as it sits on top of the building?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Potential energy is energy due to an object's height above the ground.

Potential energy = mass x gravity x height

Kinetic energy is energy due to the motion of the object.

Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity²

HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2
Igoryamba

Answer:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

Explanation:

HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2

The equation can be balance as follow:

Put 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → HgO + SO2

Now we can see that there are 6 atoms of O on the left side of the equation and a total of 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgO and SO2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now we have 2 atoms of both Hg and S on the right side and 1atom each on the left. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgS as shown below:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now the equation is balanced.

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

The law of conservation of mass(matter) states that matter(mass) can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but changes from one form to another. An unbalanced equation suggests that matter has been created or destroyed. While a balanced equation proofs that matter can never be created but changes to different form. This is the more reason we have count the atoms of an element on both side of the equation to see if they are balanced irrespective of the new form they assume in the product

A breeder nuclear reactor is a reactor in which nonfissile U-238 is converted into fissile Pu-239. The process involves bombardm
VARVARA [1.3K]

<u>Answer:</u> The nuclear equations for the given process is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the bombardment of neutron to U-238 isotope follows:

_{92}^{238}\textrm{U}+n\rightarrow _{92}^{239}\textrm{U}

Beta decay is defined as the process in which neutrons get converted into an electron and a proton. The released electron is known as the beta particle.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta

The chemical equation for the first beta decay process of _{92}^{239}\textrm{U} follows:

_{92}^{239}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{93}^{239}\textrm{Np}+_{-1}^0\beta

The chemical equation for the second beta decay process of _{93}^{239}\textrm{Np} follows:

_{93}^{239}\textrm{Np}\rightarrow _{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}+_{-1}^0\beta

Hence, the nuclear equations for the given process is written above.
