<h3>Answer:</h3><h2>The Newton's first law of motion will be applied in this situation.</h2>
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

As mention in the question, the car was moving then every object inside the car was also in the motion state with the same velocity as the car had. when the brake applied on the car, the brake only stopped the motion of the car than the objects inside it. According to the first law of motion, due to inertia, the body keeps its state intact until an external force applies to change its state. Because of inertia, the coffee inside the cup was in moving state with the car. When brake applied the coffee spilled out of the car to maintain its state and spread all around. If the cup would keep out of the cup holder, It will move also forward on the applied brake.

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer & explanation:

  • Gamma Radiation (γ):  Also called gamma rays. Gamma radiation is made of electromagnetic waves, has zero charge and mass, continuously emits heat and has the ability to ionize air and make it conductive of electric current.
  • Beta radiation (β): Beta rays or beta particles, are electrons, negative particles with charge - 1 and mass number 0.
  • Alpha radiation (α): Also called alpha particles or alpha rays, are particles charged by two protons and two neutrons.  They have positive charge +2 and mass number 4.

The capacity of a storage battery, such as those used in automobile electrical systems, is rated in ampere-hours (A?h). A 50 A?h
V125BC [204]

Answer: (A) 780J

(B) 1.89×10^-11L

(C)1.67×10^-4 h

Explanation:

Energy of the battery = IVt

=13×60 = 780J

Heat combustion of

1g of gasoline relax 46000J

Therefore 780J will release 780/46000

= 0.017g

Density = mass/volume

Volume = mass/density

Volume =0.017× 10^-3 / 900

= 1.89× 10^-8 m3

= 1.89×10^-11 litres

P=IVt

t=P/IV

= 450/60×13

1.67×10^-4 hours

Give the atomic mass and atomic number of this atom.
Soloha48 [4]
I think it would be sodium.

Because the atomic mass is protons + neutrons, so I did 6 + 5 = 11
Then I looked on the periodic table for an element with the atomic mass of 11 and it was Na... Sodium.
