By looking at the potential energies before and after the reaction, we can tell that the reaction is exothermic (final < initial) or endodermic (final > initial).

Also, the amount of activation energy gives an idea of the external energy required to initiate the reaction (for example, by heating the reactants).
Furthermore, by the same principle, we can also deduce the activation energy for the reverse reaction.

If a catalyst is available, the diagram will show a reduced activation energy, compared to a reaction without catalyst. However, it will also show that the catalyst does not alter the initial and final energies of the reaction.

The lawn sprinkler consists of four arms that rotate in the horizontal plane. The diameter of each nozzle is 8 mm, and the water

sashaice [31]

Answer: the constant angular velocity of the arms is 86.1883 rad/sec

Explanation:

First we calculate the linear velocity of the single sprinkler;

Area of the nozzle = π/4 × d²

given that d = 8mm = 8 × 10⁻³

Area of the nozzle = π/4 × (8 × 10⁻³)²

A = 5.024 × 10⁻⁵ m²

Now total discharge is dived into 4 jets so discharge for single jet will be;

Q_single = Q / n = 0.006 / 4 = 1.5 × 10⁻³ m³/sec

So using continuity equation ;

Q_single = A × V_single

V_single = Q_single/A

we substitute

V_single = (1.5 × 10⁻³) / (5.024 × 10⁻⁵)

V_single = 29.8566 m/s

Now resolving the forces as shown in the second image,

Vt = Vcos30°

Vt = 29.8566 × cos30°

Vt = 25.8565 m/s

Finally we calculate the angular velocity;

Vt = rω

ω_single = Vt / r

from the given diagram, radius is 300mm = 0.3m

so we substitute

ω_single = 25.8565 / 0.3

ω_single = 86.1883 rad/sec

Therefore the constant angular velocity of the arms is 86.1883 rad/sec

A pilot drops a bomb from a plane flying horizontally with constant velocity. When the bomb hits the ground, the horizontal loca

polet [3.4K]

Answer: The horizontal location of the plane will BE OVER THE BOMB

Explanation:

As soon as the bomb was dropped, the bomb will fall under gravity (free fall) and the location of the plane continues to increase horizontally till the bomb reaches the ground which is a falling distance to be travelled by the bomb at 9.8m/s²

How can the atomic number of nitrogen be determined?

Doss [256]

Answer:

So... for the element of NITROGEN, you already know that the atomic number tells you the number of electrons. That means there are 7 electrons in a nitrogen atom. Looking at the picture, you can see there are two electrons in shell one and five in shell two.

What Is meant By MA of a machine is 2?

stich3 [128]

Answer:

See below ~

Explanation:

The Mechanical Advantage (MA) is defined as the ratio between the force produced by the machine to the force applied to it.

=============================================================

So,

⇒ $\frac{F(out)}{F(in)} = 2$

⇒ This means that the force produced is twice the applied force
