A length change 0.08 m will occur for an object that is L= 56 m long. If the coefficient of thermal expansion is5.3 x 10 /C and
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Increase in temperature =  269.54 °C

Explanation:

We have equation for thermal expansion

          ΔL = LαΔT

Change in length, ΔL = 0.08 m

Length, L = 56 m

Coefficient of thermal expansion, α = 5.3 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻1

Change in temperature, ΔT = T - 253

Substituting

          0.08 = 56 x 5.3 x 10⁻⁶ x (T - 253)

         (T - 253) = 269.54

           T = 522.54 °C

Increase in temperature =  269.54 °C

<u>Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon</u>:

<em>Original Question: C₂H₅OH + __O₂ → __CO₂ + __ H₂O</em>

<u>To balance this equation</u>:

⇒ must ensure that there is an equal number of elements on both sides of the equation at all times

<u>Let's start balancing:</u>

  • On the left side of the equation, there are 2 carbon molecule

              ⇒ but only so far one on the right side

         C<em>₂H₅OH + __O₂ →  2CO₂ + __ H₂O</em>

  • On the left side of the equation, there are 6 hydrogen molecules

               ⇒ but only so far two on the right side

         C<em>₂H₅OH + __O₂ →  2CO₂ + 3H₂O</em>

  • On the right side of the equation, there are 7 oxygen molecules

                ⇒ but only so far three on the left side

         C<em>₂H₅OH + 3O₂ →  2CO₂ + 3H₂O</em>

<u>Let's check and make sure we got the answer:</u>

                           C<em>₂H₅OH + 3O₂ →  2CO₂ + 3H₂O</em>

<em>                 2 Carbon                ⇔                    2 Carbon</em>

<em>                 6 Hydrogen            ⇔                   6 Hydrogen</em>

<em>                 7 Oxygen                ⇔                   7 oxygen</em>

<u>Thefore the coefficients in order are</u>:

  ⇒ 1, 3, 2, 3

<u>Answer: 1,3,2,3</u>

Hope that helps!

5. A family of ducks is swimming in a pond at a speed of 3 m/s when a gust of wind hits them. By the time they reach the other s
ella [17]

Answer:

The time taken by the duck to cross the lake is, t= 4 s

Explanation:

Given data,

The initial speed of the ducks, u = 3 m/s

The final speed of the ducks, v = 7 m/s

The acceleration of the duck, a = 1 m/s²

The formula for the acceleration is,

                               a = (v - u) / t

∴                               t = (v - u) / a

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                                t = (7 - 3) / 1

                                  = 4 s

Hence, the time taken by the duck to cross the lake is, t= 4 s

How much pressure is on the bottom of a pot that holds 20N of soup? the surface area of the pot is 0.05m2
fomenos

Answer:

400

Explanation:

Formula used in solution:

P = \frac{F}{A}

P - pressure,\: F - force,\:  A - area

The given information:

F = 20N

A = 0.05m^{2}

Solution

P = \frac{F}{A} = \frac{20}{0.05} = 20 * 20 = 400

Answer:

Pressure = 400 \: Pascals
