Why is pure oxygen stored as a liquid under pressure

Physics
1 answer:
yKpoI14uk [10]3 years ago
3 0
<h2>Answer: It is highly flammable.</h2>

Explanation:

Liquid oxygen is created from oxygen atoms that have been forced to assume the liquid state due to <u>compression (change of pressure) and temperature modification. </u>

Specifically this is achieved by cooling the oxygen enough to change it to its liquid state. So,<u> as the temperature drops, the atoms move more slowly because they have less energy. </u>

In this sense, in the liquid state it is easier to store and mobilize oxygen, taking into account that it is a highly flammable gas.

Facts about river deltas
ivolga24 [154]
Deltas are complex depositional landforms that develop at the mouths of rivers. They are composed of sediment that is deposited as a river enters a standing body of water and loses forward momentum. Famous deltas include the Mississippi delta in Louisiana and the Nile delta in Egypt.

a ball is projected upward at time t = 0.00 s from a point on a roof 70 m above the ground. The ball rises, then falls and strik
grin007 [14]

Answer: 17.68 s

Explanation:

This problem is a good example of Vertical motion, where the main equation for this situation is:  

y=y_{o}+V_{o}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} (1)  

Where:  

y=0 is the height of the ball when it hits the ground  

y_{o}=70 m is the initial height of the ball

V_{o}=82m/s is the initial velocity of the ball  

t is the time when the ball strikes the ground

g=9.8m/s^{2} is the acceleration due to gravity  

Having this clear, let's find t from (1):  

0=70m+(82m/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2})t^{2} (2)  

Rewritting (2):

-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2})t^{2}+(82m/s)t+70m=0 (3)  

This is a quadratic equation (also called equation of the second degree) of the form at^{2}+bt+c=0, which can be solved with the following formula:

t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}  (4)

Where:

a=-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2}

b=82m/s

c=70m

Substituting the known values:

t=\frac{-82 \pm \sqrt{82^{2}-4(-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(70)}}{2a}  (5)

Solving (5) we find the positive result is:

t=17.68 s

A car that is standing still accelerates up a hill with a slope of 6.4% at an average acceleration of 2.93 ft/s^2. The hill is 1
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

213 s

Explanation:

Slope is the ratio of change in vertical distance to change in horizontal distance.

Slope = vertical height / horizontal height

Therefore:

6.4% = vertical height / 12.42

vertical height = 6.4% * 12.42

vertical height = 0.8 miles

The distance travelled by the car (s) is:

s² = 0.8² + 12.42²

s² = 154.9

s = 12.45 miles

Acceleration (a) =  2.93 ft/s^2 = 0.00055 mile/s²

initial velocity (u) = 0, final velocity = 203 mph

Using:

s = ut + 0.5at²

12.45 = 0.5(0.00055)t²

t =213 s

Any example of acceleration related to human body??? <br> answer quickly plz :)
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Acceleration stress, physiological changes that occur in the human body in motion as a result of rapid increase of speed. ... A force of 3 g, for example, is equivalent to an acceleration three times that of a body falling near Earth.
