Answer: 4.8 s
Explanation:
We have the following data:
the mass of the raft
the force applied by Sawyer
the raft's final speed
the raft's initial speed (assuming it starts from rest)
We have to find the time
Well, according to Newton's second law of motion we have:
(1)
Where is the acceleration, which can be expressed as:
(2)
Substituting (2) in (1):
(3)
Where
Isolating from (3):
(4)
Finally:
Answer:
The ballon would be inflated. The reason is that the sodium bicarbonate in baking soda reacts with acetic acid in vinegar to produce gas.
Explanation:
The main component of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, .
Vinegar is mostly a solution of acetic acid in water.
Acids such as acetic acid react with carbonate salts. One of the products of such reactions is carbon dioxide , a gas.
In this question, when the acetic acid in vinegar reacts with sodium bicarbonate in the baking soda, the following reaction would occur:
.
The produced would then inflate the ballon placed on the opening of the bottle.
