You fill two balloons with gas, one with hydrogen and one with carbon dioxide. You hold a match to each balloon. The hydrogen ba

lloon explodes in a small fireball. The carbon dioxide balloon pops where the match burns it, but nothing else happens. How can you explain this?
A. Hydrogen contains chemical energy and carbon dioxide does not.
B. Hydrogen is a reactant and carbon dioxide is a product.
C. The carbon dioxide smothered the match before it could start a fire.
D. The match did not have enough activation energy to light the carbon dioxide.
E. Hydrogen was able to participate in an exergonic reaction and carbon dioxide couldn’t.

Answer:E. Hydrogen was able to participate in an exergonic reaction and carbon dioxide couldn't

Explanation:

An exergonic reaction releases energy to the environment. The combustion of hydrogen contained in the balloon is a chemical reaction. The reaction can take place because hydrogen combines with oxygen in air, that is, the gas is combustible. CO2 does not support combustion, it does not combine with oxygen in air and it is also denser than air, hence does not participate in the exergonic reaction.

A force of 10 N causes a spring to extend by 20 mm. Find: a) the spring constant of the spring in N/m​
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

formula used K=F/∆l

∆l is the elongation of the spring

  1. F=10N
  2. ∆l=20mm===> 0.02m
  3. K=10N divided 0.02m= 500N/m

A(n) 60.3 g ball is dropped from a height of 53.7 cm above a spring of negligible mass. The ball compresses the spring to a maxi
Feliz [49]

Answer:

271.862 N/m

Explanation:

From Hook's Law,

mgh = 1/2ke²............... Equation 1

Where

m = mass of the ball, g = acceleration due to gravity, k = spring constant, e = extension, h = height fro which the ball was dropped.

Making k the subject of the equation,

k =2mgh/k²....................... Equation 2

Note: The potential energy of the ball is equal to the elastic potential energy of the spring.

Given: m = 60.3 g = 0.0603 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², e = 4.68317 cm = 0.0468317 m, h = 53.7 cm = 0.537 m

Substitute into equation 2

k = 2(0.0603)(9.8)(0.537)/0.048317²

k = 0.6346696/0.0023345

k = 271.862 N/m

What is Newton's first law
Anastaziya [24]
Newton’s first law is motion. For example, an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
