Explanation:

An endothermic reaction is a reaction in which the reactants absorb energy and the energy of products is more than that of reactants.

Whereas an exothermic reaction is a reaction in which the reactants have more energy as compared to products. Hence, there will be release of energy.

Therefore, when temperature is increased by 20^{o}C then it means we are providing more energy to the reactants. As a result, there will be release of energy. Hence, the reaction will be exothermic in nature and not endothermic.

Thus, we can conclude that the student is incorrect because the reaction is exothermic and not endothermic.

Answer: She is incorrect to conclude that the reaction is endothermic.

As in the second trial, the temperature has increased by 20 °C , that means the heat has been released and energy is released in exothermic reactions.

Exothermic reactions: The reactions in which the energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants, and the excess energy is released as heat.

Endothermic reactions: The reactions in which the energy of the products is more than the energy of the reactants, and the excess energy is absorbed as heat.

In still​ water, a boat averages 18 18 miles per hour. it takes the same amount of time to travel 16 miles 16 miles ​downstream,
Vladimir79 [104]
<span>The current is 6 miles per hour.
   Let's create a few equations:
 Traveling with the current:
 (18 + c)*t = 16

   Traveling against the current:
 (18 - c)*t = 8

   Let's multiply the 2nd equation by 2
 (18 - c)*t*2 = 16

   Now subtract the 1st equation from the equation we just doubled.
 (18 - c)*t*2 = 16
 (18 + c)*t = 16

   (18 - c)*t*2 - (18 + c)*t = 0
 Divide both sides by t
 (18 - c)*2 - (18 + c) = 0

   Now solve for c
 (18 - c)*2 - (18 + c) = 0
 36 - 2c - 18 - c = 0
 36 - 2c - 18 - c = 0
 18 - 3c = 0
 18 = 3c
  6 = c

   So the current is 6 mph.
   Let's verify that.
 (18 + 6)*t = 16
 24*t = 16
 t = 16/24 = 2/3

   (18 - 6)*t = 8
 12*t = 8
 t = 8/12 = 2/3

   And it's verified.</span>

A red cross helicopter takes off from headquarters and flies 120 km at 70 degrees south of west. There it drops off some relief
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

130 km at 35.38 degrees north of east

Explanation:

Suppose the HQ is at the origin (x = 0, y = 0)

So the coordinates of the helicopter after the 1st flight is

x_1 = -120cos70^o = -41.04 km

y_1 = -120sin70^o = -112.763 km

After the 2nd flight its coordinate would be:

x_2 = x_1 - 75sin60^o = -41.04 - 64.95 = -106km

y_2 = y_1 + 75cos60^o = -112.763 + 37.5 = -75.263 km

So in order to fly back to its HQ it must fly a distance and direction of

s = \sqrt{y_2^2 + x_2^2} = \sqrt{75.263^2 + 106^2} = \sqrt{5664.519169 + 11236} = \sqrt{16900.519169} = 130 km

tan\theta = \frac{y_2}{x_2} = \frac{75.263}{106} = 0.71

\theta = tan^{-1}0.71 = 0.62 rad \approx 35.38^o north of east

Evaluate tan45/tan45
SIZIF [17.4K]

I'm not sure I completely understand the expression you want evaluated.

It looks like a fraction with the same exact thing in both the numerator and the denominator. A fraction like that always boils down to ' 1 '.

What orientation of velocity and acceleration will cause something to initially speed up?
Temka [501]
-- If acceleration and velocity are in the same direction,
then the object is speeding up.

-- If acceleration and velocity are in opposite directions,
then the object is slowing down.

-- If acceleration is perpendicular to velocity, then the object
is moving on a circular curve at constant speed.
