Why is gasoline so flammable

Physics
2 answers:
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]3 years ago
8 0
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.

An electric field of intensity 3.7 kN/C is applied along the x-axis. Calculate the electric flux through a rectangular plane 0.3
jekas [21]

Answer:

a)906.5 Nm^2/C

b) 0

c) 742.56132 N•m^2/C

Explanation:

a) The plane is parallel to the yz-plane.

We know that

flux ∅= EAcosθ

3.7×1000×0.350×0.700=906.5 N•m^2/C

(b) The plane is parallel to the xy-plane.

here theta = 90 degree

therefore,

0  N•m^2/C

(c) The plane contains the y-axis, and its normal makes an angle of 35.0° with the x-axis.

therefore, applying the flux formula we get

3.7×1000×0.3500×0.700×cos35°= 742.56132 N•m^2/C

Plane polarized light with intensity I0 is incident on a polarizer. What angle should the principle axis make with respenct to t
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

 Q = 47.06 degrees

Explanation:

Given:

- The transmitted intensity I = 0.464 I_o

- Incident Intensity I = I_o

Find:

What angle should the principle axis make with respect to the incident polarization

Solution:

- The relation of transmitted Intensity I to to the incident intensity I_o on a plane paper with its principle axis is given by:

                                     I = I_o * cos^2 (Q)

- Where Q is the angle between the Incident polarized Light and its angle with the principle axis. Hence, Using the relation given above:

                                     Q = cos ^-1 (sqrt (I / I_o))

- Plug the values in:

                                     Q = cos^-1 ( sqrt (0.464))

                                     Q = cos^-1 (0.6811754546)

                                     Q = 47.06 degrees
