Answer:

B. 2.5 W

Explanation:

Power: This can be defined as the rate at which energy used or it i the rate at which work is done. The S.I unit of power is Watt (W).

Mathematically,

Power = Energy or work/Time

P = W/t ........................Equation 1

Where P = power used to perform the task, W = work, t = time.

Given: W = 50 J, t = 20 s.

Substitute into equation 1

P = 50/20

P = 2.5 W.

Hence the power is 2.5 W.

The right option is B. 2.5 W

Substances that prevent certain chemical reactions are called ___.
yuradex [85]

Substances that prevent or reduce the rate of a chemical reaction are called as inhibitors.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Inhibitors are those substances that either prevent or reduce the rate of a chemical reaction. Ex: Acetanilide slows down the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide solution.  

Inhibitors even reduce the effectiveness of catalysts without hindering their composition. There are primarily two kinds of inhibitors- reversible and irreversible. Where, reversible inhibitors slows the rate of any reaction, irreversible inhibitors completely prevents the unwanted reactions.

Where catalysts are used to increase the rate of a reaction, inhibitors stand as a wall for the unwanted reactions to occur. For example, in case of silver tarnishing, to prevent silver jewellery being tarnished, a thin layer of rhodium is applied on it which works like an inhibitor for formation reaction of silver sulphides (the tarnish).

A person sitting still in a moving airplane is considered to be... (SP1a) a. Motionless in relation to everything in the plane.
vichka [17]

Answer:

C. Both a and b

Explanation:

Firstly, persons and objects in a moving plane as described in this question, are moving at the same speed as the plane even if there is no individual movement of these objects.

However, this question describes a person sitting still in a moving plane. This means that;

- The person is motionless in relation to everything in the plane i.e the person is not moving even if other things in the plane are.

- The person is in motion compared to everything on the ground i.e. the person is moving at the same speed as the plane, hence, in comparison with the ground, the person is moving.

Therefore, options A and B are correct

Define Velocity with an example​
kolbaska11 [484]

Velocity stands for Displacement w.r.t time

\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto Velocity=\dfrac{Displacement}{Time}

Or

\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto v=\dfrac{ds}{dt}

  • It has units m/s.
