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 boy reaches out of a window and tosses a ball straight up with a speed of 10 m/s. The ball is 20 m above the ground as he rele
kirill115 [55]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the ball, v = 10 m/s

Initial position of ball above ground, h = 20 m

(a) Let H is the maximum height reached by the ball. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh'            

h'=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}

h'=\dfrac{(10)^2}{2\times 9.8}

h' = 5.1 m

The maximum height above ground,

H = 5.1 + 20

H = 25.1 meters

So, the maximum height reached by the ball is 25.1 meters.

(b) The ball's speed as it passes the window on its way down is same as the initial speed i.e. 10 m/s.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A penguin slides at a constant velocity of 3.57 m/s down an icy incline. The incline slopes above the horizontal at an angle of
igomit [66]

Answer:t=0.81 s

Explanation:

Given

Penguin slides down with constant velocity of 3.57 m/s

as the Penguin Slides with constant velocity therefore F_{net} is zero on Penguin

F_{net}=mg\sin \theta -f_r

f_r=friction Force

f_r=\mu mg

\mu =coefficient of Kinetic friction

mg\sin \theta =\mu mg

\tan \theta =\mu

\mu =\tan 9.85=0.45

after reaching on floor final velocity of penguin will be zero after time t

thus

v=u+at

here a=\mu g

a=0.45\times 9.8=4.41  (deceleration)

0=3.57-4.41\times t

t=\frac{3.57}{4.41}=0.809

t=0.81 s

Suppose an object is moving in a straight line at 50 miles/hr. According to Newton's first law of motion, the object will ______
Setler [38]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that a body will remain in its state of rest or if its in motion will continue to move in a straight line, unless its acted upon by an external force.The ability of an object to stay at rest or in motion if its in motion is known as inertia.

Hence the correct option is B.
