A car owner forgets to turn off the headlights of his car while it is parked in his garage. If the 12.0-V battery in his car is

rated at 51.0 A · h and each headlight requires 27.0 W of power, how long will it take the battery to completely discharge?

Answer: 22.6 hours

Explanation:

The power is the measure of the rate of energy.

In this problem, the 12.0 V battery is rated at 51.0 Ah, which means it delivers 51.0 A of current in a time of t = 1 h = 3600 s. The power delivered by the battery can be written as

P=IV

where

I is the current

V = 12.0 V is the voltage of the battery

So the energy delivered by the battery can be written as

E=Pt=VIt

Where

It=51.0 A\cdot h = 51.0 A \cdot 3600 s/h=183,600 A\cdot s

So the energy delivered is

E=(12.0)(183,600)=2.2\cdot 10^6 J

At the same time, the headlight consumes 27.0 W of power, so 27 Joules of energy per second; Therefore, it will remain on for a time of:

t=\frac{2.2\cdot 10^6 J}{27.0 W}=81481 s = 22.6 h

Explain, using the kinetic theory of matter, why liquids and solids are more denser than gases
AlekseyPX
Solid and liquids are much more denser than gas because their molecules are close to each other and with that the molecules of them can't move that freely unlike the gas molecules. Also, because of being near to each other the molecules of solid and liquids became heavy making them dense.

which one of the following is not an example of a combination reaction a. 2H2O(I)---> 2H2(g)+O2(g) b. 2K+CI2--->2KCI c. 2H
Alexxandr [17]
The answer would be A.

Combination reaction, otherwise known as synthesis reaction, occurs when two or more substances react and form a single, more complex substance.

A combination reaction looks like this in an equation:

                                     <em> A + B         </em><em>→       </em><em>AB</em>
                                   reactants              product

So from two reactants they become one product. 
Let's take a look at choice A.

                                   2H₂O(l)       →      2H₂(g) + O₂(g)
                                  reactant                     product(s)

Notice that from one substance, it broke down into two substances. So this is not a combination reaction. This is what you call a <em>decomposition reaction. </em>

Which of the following will help you stay motivated to achieve your goals?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

C. Post your goals in an obvious place

Explanation:

Being able to look at your goals and check in on the progress of those goals in a place you know where they are so there's no worrying if you might have forgotten one or two and or havent done them is a good way to stay active and keep motivated with your goals. Making notes or specifications on those goals and trying to think over goals is also something you should do. Ignoring or forgetting your goals because you didnt write them down or put them in a secure place can ruin motivation and make you tired cause keeping track of those goals become a chore.
