Inclined planes reduce the amount of effort needed to move an object, but increases the length of the ramp.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mechanical advantage is the measure of amount of effort needed to move an object. The mechanical advantage can be calculated as the ratio of length of ramp to the height of ramp for an inclined plane.

As it is known that an object can be easily moved on an inclined plane than on a vertical plane, this is because, the inclined plane provides greater output force. But in that case, the effort required will be reduced with the cost of increasing the distance of the movement of object.

In other terms , the ramp's length of inclined planes has to get increased in order to reduce the amount of effort needed to move an object. This is because as the mechanical advantage has length of the ramp in the numerator, with the increase in numerator value or length value the mechanical advantage will also increase.

What is the volume, in liters, of 1.40 mol of oxygen gas at 20.0°C and 0.974 atm?

topjm [15]

Answer:

V = 34.55 L

Explanation:

Given that,

No of moles, n = 1.4

Temperature, T = 20°C = 20 + 273 = 293 K

Pressure, P = 0.974 atm

We need to find the volume of the gas. It can be calculated using Ideal gas equation which is :

PV=nRT

R is gas constant, $R=0.08206\ L-atm/mol-K$

Finding for V,

$V=\dfrac{nRT}{P}\\\\V=\dfrac{1.4\times 0.08206\times 293}{0.974 }\\\\V=34.55\ L$

So, the volume of the gas is 34.55 L.

Use bond energies from Table 10.3 in the textbook to estimate the enthalpy change (ΔH) for the following reaction. C2H2(g)+H2(g)

Digiron [165]

Answer: $=176.6kJmol^{-1}$

Explanation:Bond energy of H-H is 436.4 kJ/mole

Bond energy of C-H is 414 kJ/mol

Bond energy of C=C is 620 kJ/mol

Bond energy of C≡C is 835 kJ/mol

$\Delta H= {\text {sum of bond energies of reactants}}- {\text {sum of bond energies of products}}$

$\Delta H$ = {1B.E(C≡C)+2B.E(C-H) +1B.E(H-H)} - {1B.E(C=C)+4B.E(C-H)}

$\Delta H= {1B.E(835kJmole^{-1})+2B.E(414kJmole^{-1}) +1B.E(436.4kJmole^{-1})} - {1B.E(620kJmole^{-1})+4B.E(414kjmole^{-1})}$

$=176.6kJmol^{-1}$

Matches=from Chemical energy to light energy+heat energy

solong [7]

Explanation:

A matchstick has a lot of chemical energy stored in it. When the match is struck, it burns and the chemical energy in it produces heat energy and light energy.

Answer:

The light emitted by a light bulb is a form of radiation that occurs when the filament heats up and its thermal emission gains enough energy to move into the visible spectrum.

Explanation:

Light bulbs contain a filament which is heated up electrically. When this filament is heated up,energy in the form of heat is imparted to the electrons in the filament.

This thermal excitation of electrons ultimately leads to emission of light in the viable spectrum. This light is now radiated through a light bulb.

It asks for the percentage but I’m not sure how to find it when the answer is 67.1%

Vlada [557]

Since a percentage is out of 100, do the % / 100

Divide the percent by 100
