D.multiple. because you always have to double check to see if its true or not. Majority rule.

It would be D. The reason is because you always want to cross-reference your information of multiple, reliable sites to confirm (Or deny) you information. For example, if I googled "Do cats really have nine lives?" The results appear as a study from a college in New York and an article about cats. You can't really trust a random website, as anyone can edit it and make it inaccurate. That means you should just read the study, right? Wrong. You should read both of the pages, and find which parts seem to be in both of them. These parts are likely accurate, because they were on two different sources.

True or false<br> Hydrogen fuel cells generate electricity by combining hydrogen with oxygen.

adoni [48]

Answer:

The answer is: True.

Explanation:

If free electrons or other substances could travel through the electrolyte, they would disrupt the chemical reaction. Whether they combine at anode or cathode, together hydrogen and oxygen form water, which drains from the cell. As long as a fuel cell is supplied with hydrogen and oxygen, it will generate electricity.

Calculate the speed of a proton after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 350 V.

AVprozaik [17]

The speed of a proton after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 350 V is $25.86 \times 10^4 ~m/s$ .

Initial velocity of the proton $u = 0$

Given potential difference $\Delta V = 350V$

let's assume that the speed of the proton is $v$ ,

Since the proton is accelerating through a potential difference, proton's potential energy will change with time. The potential energy of a particle of charge $q$ when accelerated with a potential difference $\Delta V$ is,

$U = q \Delta V$

Due to Work-Energy Theorem and Conservation of Energy - <em>If there is no non-conservative force acting on a particle then loss in Potential energy P.E must be equal to gain in Kinetic Energy K.E</em> i.e

$\Delta K = \Delta V$

If the initial and final velocity of the proton is $u$ and $v$ respectively then,

change in Kinetic Energy $\implies \Delta K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 -\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0$

change in Potential Energy $\implies \Delta U = q\Delta V$

from conservation of energy,

$v= \sqrt{\frac{2q\Delta V}{m}}$

so, $v = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 350 \times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}$

$= 25.86 \times 10^4 ~m/s$

a hammer drops from a height of 8 meters. calculate the speed with which it hits the ground. show work

ioda

Answer:

12.5 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the hammer is a free fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion, therefore we can use the following suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

Where, taking downward as positive direction, we have:

s = 8 m is the displacement of the hammer

u = 0 is the initial velocity (it is dropped from rest)

v is the final velocity

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Solving the equation for v, we find the final velocity:

$v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(9.8)(8)}=12.5 m/s$

So, the final speed is 12.5 m/s.

Calculate the change in length of a 90.5 mm aluminum bar that has increased in temperature by from -14.4 oC to 154.6 oC

nignag [31]

Answer:

ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m

Explanation:

This is a thermal expansion exercise

ΔL = α L₀ ΔT

ΔT = T_f - T₀

where ΔL is the change in length and ΔT is the change in temperature

Let's reduce the length to SI units

L₀ = 90.5 mm (1m / 1000 mm) = 0.0905 m

let's calculate

ΔL = 25.10⁻⁶ 0.0905 (154.6 - (14.4))

ΔL = 3.8236 10⁻⁴ m

using the criterion of three significant figures

ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m

How do gravitational and electic force compare

velikii [3]

Electric Forces. ... Just like objects that have mass exert gravitational forces on each other, objects that are charged will also exert electric forces on each other. The electric force is directly proportional to the charge of the two objects and inversely proportional to the distance between them squared.
