Answer:

The correct answer is option A, An antacid neutralizes excess hydrogen ions.

Explanation:

Antacid neutralizes the acid in the stomach. These are bases/ alkali's. The reaction between an acid and a base in known as neutralization thereby reducing burning sensations produced by the acid.  

The antacid when reaches the stomach form gel like composition that lie on the top of food item in the stomach and prevent the oesophagus from the irritation caused by the acid.

What would happen if there was no condensation stage in the water cycle?
slavikrds [6]
Without condensation, the water vapor could not turn into clouds and liquids then which means it could not fall back down through things like rain or hail. Eventually, all water on earth would then become water vapor and we wouldn't have any water in liquid form.

A thin-walled, hollow sphere of mass M rolls without slipping down a ramp that is inclined at an angle β to the horizontal. Find
Reil [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

inclination =\beta

Assuming radius of sphere is r

Now from Free Body Diagram

Mg\sin \theta -f_r=Ma

where f_r=friction\ force

a=acceleration\ of\ system

Now friction will Provide the Torque

f_r\times r=I\cdot \alpha

where I=moment\ of\ inertia

\alpha =angular\ acceleration

f_r\times r=\frac{2}{3}Mr^2\times \frac{a}{r}

in pure rolling a=\alpha r

f_r=\frac{2}{3}Ma

mg\sin \beta -\frac{2}{3}Ma=Ma

Mg\sin \beta =\frac{5}{3}Ma

a=\frac{3g\sin \beta }{5}

A sensor uses 2.1 ✕ 10-4 a of current when it is operated by a 3.0 v battery. what is the resistance of the radio circuit? assum
KATRIN_1 [288]
We can calculate the resistance of the radio circuit by using Ohm's law:
V=IR
where
V is the voltage of the circuit
I is the current
R is the resistance

In this circuit, V=3.0 V and I=2.1 \cdot 10^{-4} A. If we rearrange the previous equation and we use these data, we can calculate the resistance of the circuit:
R= \frac{V}{I}= \frac{3.0 V}{2.1 \cdot 10^{-4}A}=1.43 \cdot 10^4 \Omega = 14.3 k\Omega

How does exercise affect the balance of salt and water in your body?
liubo4ka [24]
When you exercise, your body naturally sweats in order to cool itself off. The sweat has a definite amount of salt in it, which is why your sweat tastes salty. Also, The more you sweat, the more salt that leaves your body.
