<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.

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

B. use light of a shorter wavelength.

Explanation:

We know that

$E= \frac{hc}{\lambda}$

h= plank's constant

c= speed of light

λ= wavelength of the incident light

so, in order to have sufficient energy for for the emission of electron, the incident's radiation must have λ small enough.

B. use light of a shorter wavelength.

The near point of an eye is 110 cm. A corrective lens is to be used to allow this eye to focus clearly on objects 26.0 cm in fro

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The focal length of the lens is 34.047 cm

The power of the needed corrective lens is 2.937 diopter.

Explanation:

Distance of the object from the lens,u = 26 cm

Distance of the image from the lens ,v= -110 cm

(Image is forming on the other side of the lens)

Since ,lens of the human eye is converging lens,convex lens.

Using a lens formula:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}$

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{26 cm}+\frac{1}{-110 cm}$

f = 34.047 cm = 0.3404 m

Power of the lens = P

$P=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.34047 m}=2.937 diopter$

A bus accelerates from 5.75 m/s at a rate of 1.25 m/s/s for 3.50

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

10.125 meters?

Explanation:

Im taking 5.75m/s + 1.25 m/s/s (3.5) = my answer.

In those 3.5 seconds it travels 4.375.

I added that to 5.75 to get 10.125m
