A balloon is at a height of 30 meters, and is rising at the constant rate of 5 m/sec. A bicyclist passes beneath it, traveling i

n a straight line at the constant speed of 10 m/sec. How fast is the distance between the bicyclist and the balloon increasing 2 seconds later?

The balloon has traveled 30 meters up from the bicyclist and since it's rising 5 meters per second, 2 seconds later it will travel 10 meters higher. 2 seconds later the bicyclist will travel 20 meters away.   so 10+20+30= 60 meters away from each other.

g A spontaneous process is one in which: A. releases a large amount of heat B. may happen (is possible) C. will rapidly approach
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

A. releases a large amount of heat

Explanation:

A reaction is said to be spontaneous if it can proceed on its own without the addition of external energy. A spontaneous reaction is not determined by the length of time, because some spontaneous reactions are completed after a long period of time. They are exothermic in nature. An example is the conversion of graphite to carbon which takes a long period of time to complete. Spontaneous reactions are known to increase entropy in a system. Entropy is the rate of disorder in a system.

In the combustion of fire, energy is released to the surroundings as there is a decrease in energy. This is an example of a spontaneous reaction because it is an exothermic reaction, which causes an increase in entropy and a decrease in energy.

A generic weak acid with formula HA has a Ka = 2.76 x 10-8. Calculate the Kb for the conjugate base of the acid.
Reika [66]

Answer:

3.62x10⁻⁷ = Kb

Explanation:

The acid equilibrium of a weak acid, HX, is:

HX + H₂O ⇄ X⁻ + H₃O⁺

Where Ka = [X⁻] [H₃O⁺] / [HX]

And basic equilibrium of the conjugate base, is:

X⁻ + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + HX

Where Kb = [OH⁻] [HX] / [X⁻]

To convert Ka to Kb we must use water equilibrium:

2H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻

Where Kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] [H₃O⁺]

Thus, we can obtain:

Kw = Ka*Kb

Solving for Kb:

Kw / Ka = Kb

1x10⁻¹⁴ /  2.76x10⁻⁸ =

3.62x10⁻⁷ = Kb

If the density of an object is 5.2g/cm3, and it’s volume is 3.7 cm3, what is it’s mass?
lord [1]
Here's the equation you use: Density = mass/volume 

1) 5.2g/cm^3 = m/3.7cm^3 

2) m = 5.2g/cm^3 x 3.7cm^3 

3) m = 19.24g 

You can check the answer by plugging it in 

19.24g/3.7cm^3 
= 5.2g/cm^3

Sedbober [7]

Answer: 6,25 moles

Explanation: mark amount of butane x.

From equation you can calculate x in a following way:

2/x = 8/25. 8x = 50. And x = 6,25
