An environmentally-conscious student is breaking the rings from a six-pack drink holder before disposing of it. This reduces the

potential for the six-pack ring to ensnare wildlife and cause ecological harm. In breaking the rings, the student notices that the plastic rings heat up. What argument supports that this is an exothermic chemical reaction?

Answer: seen below.

Explanation:

Firstly we need to remember what exothermic reaction is in thermodynamics. exothermic reaction describes a process or reaction that releases energy from the system to its surroundings, usually in the form of heat, but also in a form of light, sound, or electricity.

In this scenario, due to the heating up nature noticed by the ring during breaking shows that energy is being released to the surrounding in the form of heat which suggest it being an exothermic reaction.

A crane used 250,000 Joules of work to move a beam to the top of a building in 20 seconds. How much power did the crane use?
maria [59]

Answer:

12500W

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Work done  = 250000J

Time taken  = 20s

Unknown:

Power of the crane = ?

Solution:

Power is the defined as the rate at which work is being done;

  Mathematically;

        Power = \frac{work done}{time }

 insert the parameters and solve;

      Power  = \frac{250000}{20}   = 12500W

A hotel elevator ascends 200m with maximum speed of 5m/s. Its acceleration and deceleration both have a magnitude of 1.0m/s2. Pa
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

45 s .

Explanation:

The accelerator will first accelerate , then move with uniform velocity and at last it will decelerate to rest .

displacement s = ?

acceleration a = 1 m /s²

Final speed v = 5 m/s

initial speed u = 0

v² = u² + 2as

5² = 0 + 2 x 1 x s

s = 12.5  m

B)  Let time of acceleration or deceleration be t

v = u + a t

5 = 0 + 1 t

t = 5 s

Similarly displacement during deceleration = 12.5 m

Total distance during uniform motion = 200 - ( 12.5 + 12.5 ) =  175 m .

velocity of uniform motion = 5 m /s

time during which there was uniform velocity = 175 / 5 = 35 s

Total time = 5 + 35 + 5 = 45 s .

A child slides down the water slide at a swimming pool and enters the water at a final speed of 4.22 m/s. At what final speed wo
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

v'=5.97 m/s        

Explanation:

If the friction and fluid friction are ignored, then by law of conservation of mechanical energy, potential energy at the top of the slide must be equal to the kinetic energy at the bottom of the slide. Thus, the height of slide and final speed at the bottom of the slide are related as:

mgh = \frac {1}{2} mv^2\\v =\sqrt{2gh}

let the final speed be v' when h' = 2 h

\frac{v'}{v}=\frac{\sqrt h'}{\sqrt h}\\v'=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{h}}\times v\\v'=\sqrt2 v\\v'=5.97 m/s

An Astronaut on the Moon drops a rock straight downward from a height of 1.25 meters. If the acceleration of gravity on the Moon
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Since the astronaut drops the rock, the initial velocity of the rock is 0 m/s

<u>We are given:</u>

initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

final velocity (v) = v m/s

acceleration (a) = 1.62 m/s/s

height (h) = 1.25 m

<u>Solving for v:</u>

From the third equation of motion:

v²-u² = 2ah

replacing the variables

v² - (0)² =2 (1.62)(1.25)

v² = 1.62 * 2.5

v² = 4 (approx)

v = √4

v = 2 m/s

The speed of the rock just before it lands is 2 m/s
