Owners of cattle herds who only choose to breed cows that produce the most milk are engaging in blank selection

In a given chemical reaction the energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants which statement is true for thi

GREYUIT [131]

Group of answer choices.

A. Energy is absorbed in the reaction.

B. Energy is released in the reaction.

C. There is no transfer of energy in the reaction.

D. Energy is lost in the reaction.

Answer:

B. Energy is released in the reaction.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a chemical process which typically involves the transformation or rearrangement of the atomic, ionic or molecular structure of an element through the breakdown and formation of chemical bonds to produce a new compound or substance.

Basically, there are two (2) main types of chemical reaction and these include;

I. Endothermic reaction: it's a chemical reaction in which heat is absorbed

II. Exothermic reaction: it's a chemical reaction in which heat is liberated into the environment.

In Chemistry, all chemical equation must follow or be in accordance with the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed by either a physical transformation or a chemical reaction but transformed from one form to another in an isolated (closed) system.

Generally, energy is released in a chemical reaction when the energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants and it is referred to as an exothermic reaction.

However, when the energy of the products is greater than the energy of the reactants, energy is absorbed and it is referred to as an endothermic reaction.

If you walk 1.2 km north and then 1.6 km east, what are the magnitude and direction of your resultant displacement?

vodomira [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

Option A is the correct answer.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let the east point towards positive X-axis and north point towards positive Y-axis.

First walking 1.2 km north, displacement = 1.2 j km

Secondly 1.6 km east, displacement = 1.6 i km

Total displacement = (1.6 i + 1.2 j) km

Magnitude = $\sqrt{1.2^2+1.6^2} = 2 km$

Angle of resultant with positive X - axis = $tan^{-1}(1.2/1.6)=36.87^0$ = 36.87⁰ east of north.

What are two ways in which the suns energy can be captured and used?

My name is Ann [436]

The oldest way ... the way we've been using as long as we've been
walking on the Earth ... has been to use plants. Plants sit out in the
sun all day, capturing its energy and using it to make chemical compounds.
Then we come along, cut the plants down, and eat them. Our bodies
rip the chemical compounds apart and suck the solar energy out of them,
and then we use the energy to walk around, sing, and play video games.

Another way to capture the sun's energy is to build a dam across a creek
or a river, so that the water can't flow past it. You see, it was the sun's
energy that evaporated the water from the ocean and lifted it high into
the sky, giving it a lot of potential energy. The rain falls on high ground,
up in the mountains, so the water still has most of that potential energy
as it drizzles down the river to the ocean. If we catch it on its way, we
can use some of that potential energy to turn wheels, grind our grain,
turn our hydroelectric turbines to get electrical energy ... all kinds of jobs.

A modern, recent new way to capture some of the sun's energy is to use
photovoltaic cells. Those are the flat blue things that you see on roofs
everywhere. When the sun shines on them, they convert some of its
energy into electrical energy. We use some of what they produce, and
we store the rest in giant batteries, to use when the sun is not there.

A police officer is parked by the side of the road, when a speeding car travelling at 50 mi/hrpasses. The police car immediately

Blababa [14]

Answer:

a) time taken to catch up with speeding car is 12.25 secs

b) the police car will travel 273.8 m to catch up with the speeding car

Explanation:

Given that;

speed of car $V_{c}$ = 50 mi/hr = 22.352 m/s

acceleration of police car = 10 mi/hr = 4.47 m/s²

$V_{f}$ = 70 mi/hr = 31.29 m/s

Now time taken to reach maximum speed is t₁

so

$V_{f}$ = $V_{i}$ + at₁

we substitute

31.29 = 0 + 4.47t₁

t₁ = 31.29 / 4.47

t₁ = 7 sec

now

d₁ = 0 + 1/2 × at₁²

d₁ = 0 + 1/2 × 0 + 4.47×(7)²

d₁ = 109.5 m

so distance travelled by the speeding car in time t₁ will be

$d_{c}$ = $V_{c}$ × t₁

we substitute

$d_{c}$ = 22.352 × 7

$d_{c}$ = 156.46 m

now distance between polive car and speeding car

Δd = $d_{c}$ - d₁

Δd = 156.46 - 109.5

Δd = 46.96 m

time taken to cover Δd will be

t₂ = Δd / ( $V_{f}$ - $V_{c}$ )

t₂ = 46.96 / ( 31.29 - 22.352 )

t₂ = 46.96 / 8.938

t₂ = 5.25 sec

distance travelled by the police in time t₂ will be

d₂ = $V_{f}$ × t₂

d₂ = 31.29 × 5.25

d₂ = 164.3 m

a) How long will it take before the officer catches up to the speeding car;

time taken to catch up with speeding car;

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 7 + 5.25

t = 12.25 secs

Therefore, time taken to catch up with speeding car is 12.25 secs

b) how far will it have travelled in order to do so;

distance = d₁ + d₂

distance = 109.5 + 164.3

distance = 273.8 m

Therefore, the police car will travel 273.8 m to catch up with the speeding car

If you traveled one mile at a speed of 100 miles per hour and another mile at a speed if 1 mile per hour, your average speed wou

Semenov [28]

Answer:

v = 1.98 mph

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed to travel one mile is 100 mph

Speed to travel another mile is 1 mph

The formula used to find your average speed is given by :

$v=\dfrac{2v_1v_2}{v_1+v_2}$

Putting the values, we get :

$v=\dfrac{2\times 100\times 1}{100+1}$

v = 1.98 mph

So, yours average speed is 1.98 mph.
