3.4m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance to school  = 14.4km

Time taken by Amy = 49min

Time taken by bill = 20min after Amy = 20+49 = 69min

Unknown parameters:

How much faster is Amy's average speed = ?

Solution:

Average speed is the rate of change of total distance with total time taken.

 Average speed = \frac{total distance }{total time taken}

convert units to meters and seconds

      1000m = 1km

       60s = 1min

Distance to school  = 14.4 x 1000 = 14400m

Time taken by Amy = 49 x 60 = 2940s

Time taken by Bill = 69 x 60 = 4140s

Average speed of Amy = \frac{14400}{2940}  = 4.9m/s

Average speed of Bill = \frac{4140}{2940}  = 1.4m/s

Differences in speed = 4.9 - 1.5 = 3.4m/s

Amy was 3.4m/s faster than Bill

Answer:

Left

Explanation:

newtons is a measure of force. Since there is more newtons(force) pushing to the left, the object will move left. the 15 newtons cancel each other out, leaving only 5 newtons pushing to one side with no resistance.

Explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem:

r² = x² + y²

r² = (-6.46 m)² + (-3.78 m)²

r = 7.48 m

a sponge and a bar of soap occupy the same amount of space, but the soap is much more dense than the sponge
Alex Ar [27]
Yes, that's correct.  That's a big part of the reason why
the soap floats in water and the sponge sinks in it.

a. Give an example of a galvanic cell. What kind of reaction occurs in a galvanic cell? b. If one electrode in a galvanic cell i
Burka [1]

Answer:

a) Batteries and fuel cells are examples of galvanic cell

b) Ag-cathode and Zn-anode

c) Cell notation:  Zn(s)|Zn²⁺(aq) || Ag⁺(aq)|Ag(s)

Explanation:

a) A galvanic cell is an electrochemical cell in which chemical energy is converted to electrical energy. The chemical reaction which drives a galvanic cell is a redox reaction i.e. a reduction-oxidation process.

A typical galvanic cell is composed of two electrodes immersed in a suitable electrolyte and connected via a salt bridge. One of the electrodes serves as a cathode where reduction or gain of electrons takes place. The other half cell functions as an anode where oxidation or loss of electrons occurs. Batteries and fuel cells are examples of galvanic cells.

b) The nature of the electrode that will serve as an anode or cathode depends on the value of the standard reduction potential (E⁰) of that electrode. The electrode with a higher or more positive the value of E⁰ serves as the cathode and the other will function as an anode.

In the given case, the E⁰ values from the standard reduction potential table are:

E⁰(Zn/Zn2+) = -0.763 V

E°(Ag/Ag+)=+0.799 V

Therefore, Ag will be the cathode and Zn will be the anode

c) In the standard cell notation, the anode half cell is written on the left followed by the salt bridge '||' and finally the cathode half cell to the right.

Zn(s)|Zn²⁺(aq) || Ag⁺(aq)|Ag(s)
