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.

For a huge luxury liner to move with constant velocity, its engines need to supply a forward thrust of 6.85 105 N. What is the m
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

The magnitude of the resistive force exerted by the water is 6.85\times 10^{5} newtons.

Explanation:

By First and Second Newton's Law, the resistive force exerted by the water on the cruise ship has the same magnitude of forward thrust, with which it is antiparallel to. The equation of equilibrium for the luxury liner is:

\Sigma F = F-R = 0 (Eq. 1)

Where:

F - Forward trust, measured in newtons.

R - Resistive force exerted by the water, measured in newtons.

From (Eq. 1), we get that: (F = 6.85\times 10^{5}\,N)

R = F

R = 6.85\times 10^{5}\,N

The magnitude of the resistive force exerted by the water is 6.85\times 10^{5} newtons.

A model air rocket with a mass of 50.g is free to travel along a horizontal track. It begins from rest. After 2.0s, the rocket h
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

v_r=5.89\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of rocket, m_r=50\ g
  • time of observation, t=2\ s
  • mass lost by the rocket by expulsion of air, m_a=10\%\ of m_r=5\ g
  • velocity of air, v_a=53\ m.s^{-1}

<u>Now the momentum of air will be equal to the momentum of rocket in the opposite direction: </u>(Using the theory of elastic collision)

m_a.v_a=(m_r-m_a)\times v_r

5\times 53=(50-5)\times v_r

v_r=5.89\ m.s^{-1}
