Why does putting baking soda on a fire put it out?

1 answer:

7 0

Hii there,
Baking soda produces carbon dioxide when extinguishing a fire as only oxygen is needed for the fire to light up and carbon dioxide puts it off.

Hope this helps :))

Hydraulic Pressure-Control, On-Off Deluge Valve

FP-400Y-5DC

The BERMAD model 400Y-5DC is an elastomeric, hydraulic line pressure operated deluge valve, designed specifically for advanced fire protection systems and the latest industry standards. The 400Y-5DC is activated by a hydraulically operated relay valve, through which opening and closing of the valve can be controlled either with a remote hydraulic command or with a wet pilot line with closed fusible plugs. An integral pressure reducing pilot valve ensures a precise, stable, pre-set downstream water pressure. The optional valve position indicator can include a limit switch suitable for Fire & Gas monitoring systems. The 400Y-5DC is ideal for systems that combine a remote wet pilot line with a high pressure water supply.

A person of mass m will bungee-jump from a bridge over a river where the height from the bridge to the river is h. The bungee co

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer: $k_{min}=\frac{18mg}{h}$

Explanation:

Given

mass of person is m

Distance between bridge and river is h

chord has an un-stretched length of $\frac{2h}{3}$

Let spring constant be k

Person will just stop before hitting the river

Conserve energy i.e. Potential Energy of Person is converted in to elastic energy of chord

$mgh=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$x=h-\frac{2h}{3}=\frac{h}{3}$

$mgh=\frac{kh^2}{18}$

$k=\frac{18mg}{h}$

Thus $k_{min}=\frac{18mg}{h}$

Create a ray diagram for eyeglasses that contain a diverging lens. Assume you are looking at a 2 cm tall object that is 4 cm fro

k0ka [10]

The ray diagram for the given object consists of 2 cm height of object, 4 cm object distance and 3 cm focal length.

<h3>Image formed by a diverging lens</h3>

Diverging lens is called a concave lens. The working of the lens is dependent on the refraction of the light rays as they pass through the lens.

Image formed by a diverging lens is always virtual, erect and diminished; smaller than the object and is located on the same side of the lens as the object.

The ray diagram for the given object is presented in the image in the diagram.

Object height = 2 cm
Focal length = 3 cm
Object distance = 4 cm

A spaceship orbiting earth flies to the moon. How is the gravitational force pulling on the spaceship related to the distance th

____ [38]

The correct answer is "As the distance from the earth increases, the gravitational pull on the spaceship would decrease."

In fact, the gravitational force (attractive) exerted by the Earth on the spaceship is given by
$F=G \frac{Mm}{d^2}$
where G is the gravitational constant, M the Earth's mass, m the mass of the spaceship and d the distance of the spaceship from the Earth. As we can see from the formula, as the distance d between the spaceship and the Earth increases, the gravitational force F decreases, so answer D) is the correct one.

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

d = 1700 meters

Explanation:

During a rainy day, as a result of colliding clouds an observer saw lighting and a heard thunder sound. The time between seeing the lighting and hearing the sound was 5 second, t = 5 seconds

Speed of sound, v = 340 m/s (say)

Let d is the distance of the colliding cloud from the observer. The distance covered by the object. It is given by :

$d=v\times t$

$d=340\ m/s\times 5\ s$

d = 1700 meters

So, the distance of the colliding cloud from the observer is 1700 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
