Why is gasoline so flammable

Physics

Flammable and combustible liquids themselves do not burn. It is the mixture of their vapours and air that burns. Gasoline, with a flashpoint of -40°C (-40°F), is a flammable liquid. Even at temperatures as low as -40°C (-40°F), it gives off enough vapour to form a burnable mixture in air.

It is flammable because of the low flashpoint. Gasoline's flashpoint is -40 degrees Fahrenheit, which essentially means that the vapors released into the oxygenated air can be lit ablaze in low temperatures.

What group is Ne in? What is its period?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Neon (Ne), chemical element, inert gas of Group 18 (noble gases) of the periodic table, used in electric signs and fluorescent lamps. Colourless, odourless, tasteless, and lighter than air, neon gas occurs in minute quantities in Earth's atmosphere and trapped within the rocks of Earth's crust.

A block lies on a horizontal frictionless surface. A horizontal force of 100 N is applied to the block giving rise to an acceler
KIM [24]

Answer:

(a) m = 33.3 kg

(b) d = 150 m

(c) vf = 30 m/s

Explanation:

Newton's second law to the block:

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass s (kg)

a : acceleration  (m/s²)

Data

F= 100 N

a= 3.0 m/s²

(a) Calculating of the  mass of the block:

We replace dta in the formula (1)

F = m*a

100 =  m*3

m = 100 / 3

m = 33.3 kg

Kinematic analysis

Because the block  moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formulas:

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² Formula (2)

vf= v₀+a*t   Formula (3)

Where:  

d:displacement in meters (m)  

t : time interval in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s²

Data

a= 3.0 m/s²

v₀= 0

t = 10 s

(b) Distance the block will travel if the force is applied for 10 s

We replace dta in the formula (2):

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t²

d = 0+ (1/2)*(3)*(10)²

d =150 m

(c) Calculate the speed of the block after the force has been applied for 10 s

We replace dta in the formula (3):

vf= v₀+a*t

vf= 0+(3*(10)

vf= 30 m/s
