7 0

True; scientist define work as the spending of energy. This is because energy is required to move an object. For work to be done an object has to be moved from one point to another. Work is measured in joules similar to energy which is also measured in joules. Mathematically, work done is given by the product of force and distance moved by an object or a body.

13. When a train car traveling at 4 m/s collides with a stationary train car, what happens to the momentum of the first train ca

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Momentum of first train car will reduce

Explanation:

When the moving care collides with the stationary car, it will increase the momentum of the stationary car. However, its own momentum will reduce.

It is so because the speed of the first train car will reduce after collision due to loss of energy in the collision while the stationary car may gain some momentum due to rise in velocity from zero (velocity at stationary position).

The balanced equation for combustion in an acetylene torch is shown below: 2C2H2 + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O The acetylene tank contains

andriy [413]

Answer: 67.2 moles

Explanation: $2C_2H5+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+2H_2O$

According to the given balanced equation, 2 moles of acetylene $C_2H_2$ combine with 5 moles of oxygen $O_2$ to produce 4 moles of carbon dioxide $CO_2$ .
