Which best describes how combustion works?

Physics
2 answers:
miv72 [106K]3 years ago

Answer: A) It breaks and forms bonds of fuel to release thermal energy.

Explanation:

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of molecules.

Thermal energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its temperature.

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which a fuel is burnt in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide, water and heat.

C_xH_y+x+\frac{y}{4}O_2\rightarrow xCO_2+\frac{y}{2}H_2O+Energy

Thus the chemical energy stored in the bonds of reactants is converted to thermal energy and heat is released in the combustion reaction.

An object is moving east with a constant speed of 30 m/s for 5 seconds. What is the object's acceleration
pentagon [3]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 6 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{v}{t}  \\

where

v is the velocity

t is the time

We have

a =  \frac{30}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>6 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

A block attached to a spring with an unknown spring constant oscillates with a period of 2.0 s. What is the period if
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

a) If the mass is doubled, then the period is increased by \sqrt{2}. Hence, the period of the system is 2.828 seconds.

b) If the mass is halved, then the period is reduced by \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}. Hence, the period of the system is 1.414 seconds.

c) The period of the system does not depend on amplitude. Hence, the period of the system is 2 seconds.

d) If the spring constant is doubled, then the period is reduced by \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}. Hence, the period of the system is 1.414 seconds.

Explanation:

The statement is incomplete. We proceed to present the complete statement: <em>A block attached to a spring with unknown spring constant oscillates with a period of 2.00 s. What is the period if </em><em>a. </em><em>The mass is doubled? </em><em>b.</em><em> The mass is halved? </em><em>c.</em><em> The amplitude is doubled? </em><em>d.</em><em> The spring constant is doubled? </em>

We have a block-spring system, whose angular frequency (\omega) is defined by the following formula:

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } (1)

Where:

k - Spring constant, measured in newtons per meter.

m - Mass, measured in kilograms.

And the period (T), measured in seconds, is determined by the following expression:

T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} (2)

By applying (1) in (2), we get the following formula:

T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

a) If the mass is doubled, then the period is increased by \sqrt{2}. Hence, the period of the system is 2.828 seconds.

b) If the mass is halved, then the period is reduced by \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}. Hence, the period of the system is 1.414 seconds.

c) The period of the system does not depend on amplitude. Hence, the period of the system is 2 seconds.

d) If the spring constant is doubled, then the period is reduced by \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}. Hence, the period of the system is 1.414 seconds.

In the system illustrated by the diagram, the magnetic field is increasing. In which
Black_prince [1.1K]

The emf will be induced in anti-clockwise direction.

<u>Explanation</u>

Lenz's law tells us the direction us the direction that the current will flow. It states that the direction is always such that it will oppose the change in flux which produced it. This means that any magnetic field produced by an induced current will be in opposite direction to the change in the original field.

To find the direction of emf, Stretch the forefinger, middle finger and the thumb of the right hand mutually perpendicular to each other. If the force finger points in the direction of the magnetic field, the thumb gives the direction of the motion of the conductor then the middle finger gives the direction of the induced current.
