In the graph below, why does the graph stop increasing after 30 seconds?

stepladder [879]

Answer:

The answer is "Option C".

Explanation:

It's evident from the figure below that after thirty minutes, not no more hydrogen can be created because all of the reactants have converted into products.

hydrogen gas created in cm cubes per period x = 20 seconds, y = 45 centimeters squared, and so on.

A reaction's terminus (the graph's flat line) indicates that no further products are being created during the reaction.

When the displacement of a mass on a spring in simple harmonic motion is A/2 from the equilibrium position, what fraction of the

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

The ratio is KE : TM = 0.75

Explanation:

from the question we are told that

The displacement of a mass on a spring in simple harmonic motion is A/2 from the equilibrium position

Generally the total mechanical energy of the mass is mathematically represented as

$TM = \frac{1}{2} * k * A^2$

Here k is the spring constant , A is the total displacement of the the mass from maximum compression to maximum extension of the spring

Generally this total mechanical energy is mathematically represented as

$TM = KE + PE$

=> $KE = TM - PE$

Here the potential energy of the mass is mathematically represented as

$PE = \frac{1}{ 2} * k * [ x ]^2$

Here x is the displacement of the mass from maximum compression or extension of the spring to equilibrium position and the value is

$x = \frac{A}{2}$

$PE = \frac{1}{ 2} * k * [ \frac{A}{2} ]^2$

$KE = \frac{1}{2} * k * A^2 - \frac{1}{2} * k * [\frac{A}{2} ]^2$

=> $KE = \frac{1}{2} * k * A^2 - \frac{1}{8} * k * A ^2$

=> $KE = 0.375 * k * A^2$

So the ratio of $KE : TM$ is mathematically represented as

$\frac{KE}{TM} = \frac{0.375 k A^2 }{0.5 k A^2}$

=> $\frac{KE}{TM} = 0.75$

Radio waves are readily diffracted around buildings, whereas light waves are negligibly diffracted around buildings. This is bec

Tom [10]

Answer:

Radio waves have longer wavelength

Explanation:

Radio wave is an electromagnetic frequency that has the ability to travel through long distance. They have frequencies shuttling been the range of 10^4 hz and a frequency of 10^12 hz

Light wave is also called visible light. This is because it is visible to the naked eye, despite it being in the electromagnetic spectrum. It's frequency is usually between 4*10^-7 hz and a frequency of 7*10^-7 hz.

As can be seen from both, the radio waves length are quite far stronger than that of the light waves.

In general, if the temperature of a chemical reaction is increased, the reaction rateA. IncreasesB. decreasesC. remains the same

In-s [12.5K]

A. Increases

I would assume this to be the answer because heat is another form of energy. If there is more energy the molecules will become more active. This makes A the most logical answer.
