Answer:

13.33 or 13 1/3m/s (meters per second)

Explanation:

In physics, we use the basic units of meters and seconds. So first convert (km) into meters (m) and also hours and minutes into seconds (s). We end up with 120000m and 9000s. Then divide the 120000m by the 9000s and you end up with 13.33 or 13 1/3 m/s.

Answer:

<em>The average speed of the train is 48 km/hr</em>

Explanation:

The term average speed refers to how fast a body is covering a distance. it is the rate at which a body covers a distance with time. Cars, Humans, and animals are among bodies that can attain speed. speed is measure in m/s.

<h3>Step by Step Calculation</h3>

speed of an object can be obtained using the equation below;

Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}  ....................................1

from the question we are provided with;

Distance = 120 km

Time = 2 hours 30 minutes

Speed =?

The time can not operate with two units, so we have to convert 30 minutes to hours;

60 mins = 1 hr

30 mins = x hrs

x =  \frac{1 hr x 30 mins}{60 mins}

x = 0.5 hours

now our time will be 2 hrs + 0.5 hr = 2.5 hrs

Substituting our values in equation 1 we have;

Speed = \frac{120 km}{2.5 hrs}

Speed = 48 km/hr

<em>Therefore, the average speed of the train is 48 km/hr</em>

1) The equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction N 2(g) + O 2(g) 2NO(g) at 1200 C is 1.00x 10^-5. Calculate the molar concentrati
Elina [12.6K]

Explanation:

1) N₂ + O₂ → 2 NO

Kc = [NO]² / ([N₂] [O₂])

Set up an ICE table:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}&Initial&Change&Equilibrium\\N_{2}&0.114&-x&0.114-x\\O_{2}&0.114&-x&0.114-x\\NO&0&+2x&2x\end{array}\right]

Plug into the equilibrium equation and solve for x.

1.00×10⁻⁵ = (2x)² / ((0.114 − x) (0.114 − x))

1.00×10⁻⁵ = (2x)² / (0.114 − x)²

√(1.00×10⁻⁵) = 2x / (0.114 − x)

0.00316 = 2x / (0.114 − x)

0.00361 − 0.00316x = 2x

0.00361 = 2.00316x

x = 0.00018

The volume is 1.00 L, so the concentrations at equilibrium are:

[N₂] = 0.114 − x = 0.11382

[O₂] = 0.114 − x = 0.11382

[NO] = 2x = 0.00036

2(a) Cl₂ → 2 Cl

Kc = [Cl]² / [Cl₂]

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}&Initial&Change&Equilibrium\\Cl_{2}&2.0&-x&2.0-x\\Cl&0&+2x&2x\end{array}\right]

1.2×10⁻⁷ = (2x)² / (2 − x)

1.2×10⁻⁷ (2 − x) = 4x²

2.4×10⁻⁷ − 1.2×10⁻⁷ x = 4x²

2.4×10⁻⁷ ≈ 4x²

x² ≈ 6×10⁻⁸

x ≈ 0.000245

2x ≈ 0.00049

2(b) F₂ → 2 F

Kc = [F]² / [F₂]

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}&Initial&Change&Equilibrium\\F_{2}&2.0&-x&2.0-x\\F&0&+2x&2x\end{array}\right]

1.2×10⁻⁴ = (2x)² / (2 − x)

1.2×10⁻⁴ (2 − x) = 4x²

2.4×10⁻⁴ − 1.2×10⁻⁴ x = 4x²

2.4×10⁻⁴ ≈ 4x²

x² ≈ 6×10⁻⁵

x ≈ 0.00775

2x ≈ 0.0155

F₂ dissociates more, so Cl₂ is more stable at 1000 K.

Why might the current in a short circuit be higher than the current in the original circuit?
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Hope this helps =)

Explanation:

The current in a short circuit may be very high because the resistance in the short circuit is probably less than the resistance in the original circuit.

leonid [27]

Answer: Beta, alpha and gamma ray

Explanation: The component being deflected to the positive side is the beta radiation because it is negatively charged and thus is attracted by the positive terminal of the Electric Field.

The component being deflected to the negative side is the alpha radiation, it's is positively charged and thus being attracted by the negative part of the Electric Field.

The component that went straight down without deflection is the gamma radiation. It is neutral and possess no charge and thus is not deflected.
