Carlos was camping and getting cold as the sun went down. He wanted to light a fire for warmth and light. However, he discovered

that the nearby wood was wet, and would have no light. He had to look under some leaves and debris to find dry wood. He piled the wood and surrounded it with a circle of stones to keep the fire contained. Then he put some dry leaves around the logs to help the fire to get started. He lit the leaves. Soon the leaves had burned away, his fire was burning nicely, and Carlos was getting warmer.
1. Is the chemical reaction produced by Carlos's fire exergonic or endergonic?

2. Is the reaction in Carlos's fire endothermic or exothermic? Explain

3. Do you think the leaves were a catalyst for the fire? Why or why not?

1. The chemical reaction produced by Carlo's fire is exergonic because energy is "going out". As the reaction proceeds, entropy increases as the energy stored in the dry wood and leaves are used up as fuel to create the fire which produces low quality light and warmth.  

2. This reaction is a classic example of an exothermic reaction. Exothermic reactions are characterized with the presence of heat and light in the products. Combustion reactions are always exothermic in nature.

3. Catalyst are substances that are used to speed up reactions by lowering the activation requirement. Catalysts aren't consumed in the reaction and can still be chemically retrieved afterwards. In this situation, the leaves cannot be retrieved after the reaction ends. The leaves speed up the heating of the wood but it does not behave as a catalyst.

Give reason.<br><br><br>b} String roller is an example of wheel and axel .Why?<br><br>​
Leokris [45]

Explanation:

string roller is called an example of wheel and axel because The thin rod which needs to be turned is called the axle and the wider object fixed to the axle, on which we apply force is called the wheel.

hence the we apply force on the roller and the string gets tight.

A student tosses a ball horizontally from a balcony to a friend 3.8 meters down below them. How long does the ball take to reach
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The time it takes the ball to fall 3.8 meters to friend below is approximately 0.88 seconds

Explanation:

The height from which the student tosses the ball to a friend, h = 3.8 meters above the friend

The direction in which the student tosses the ball = The horizontal direction

Given that the ball is tossed in the horizontal direction, and not the vertical direction, the initial vertical component of the velocity of the ball = 0

The equation of the vertical motion of the ball can therefore, be represented by the free fall equation as follows;

h = 1/2 × g × t²

Where;

g = The acceleration due gravity of the ball = 9.81 m/s²

t = The time of motion to cover height, h

Then height is already given as h = 3.8 m

Substituting gives;

3.8 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t²

t² = 3.8/(1/2 × 9.81) ≈ 0.775 s²

∴ t = √0.775 ≈ 0.88 seconds

The time it takes the ball to fall 3.8 meters to friend below is t ≈ 0.88 seconds.
