Answer:

In an exothermic reaction the energy gained by the surroundings must be equal to the energy lost by the reaction.

Explanation:

Exothermic reactions occur by the loss of energy in the form of heat to the surroundings (apparatus and the system).

The heat gained can be quantitatively analysed and measured provided no product escapes the system and it is numerically equal to the amount of heat lost by the reaction.

What would be the answer for this and how?

Veronika [31]

Answer:

B. 6 cm

Explanation:

First, we calculate the spring constant of a single spring:

$k = \frac{F}{\Delta x}\\$

where,

k = spring constant of single spring = ?

F = Force Applied = 10 N

Δx = extension = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Therefore,

$k = \frac{10\ N}{0.04\ m}\\k = 250\ N/m\\$

Now, the equivalent resistance of two springs connected in parallel, as shown in the diagram, will be:

$k_{eq} = k + k\\k_{eq} = 2k = 2(250\ N/m)\\k_{eq} = 500\ N/m\\$

For a load of 30 N, applying Hooke's Law:

$\Delta x = \frac{F}{k_{eq}}\\\\\Delta x = \frac{30\ N}{500\ N/m}\\\\\Delta x = 0.06\ m = 6\ cm\\$

Hence, the correct option is:

B. 6 cm

The phases of the moon are the changing appearances of the moon, as seen from Earth. Which phase happens immediately after a thi

Drupady [299]

The phases of the moon are the changing appearances of the moon, as seen from Earth. Which phase happens immediately after a third quarter moon are the following

Explanation:

After the full moon (maximum illumination), the light continually decreases. So the waning gibbous phase occurs next. Following the third quarter is the waning crescent, which wanes until the light is completely gone -- a new moon.

waning gibbous phase

The waning gibbous phase occurs between the full moon and third quarter phases. The last quarter moon (or a half moon) is when half of the lit portion of the Moon is visible after the waning gibbous phase.

Time takes by the moon to go through all the phases

about 29.5 days

It takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for our Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. This is called the sidereal month, and is measured by our Moon's position relative to distant “fixed” stars. However, it takes our Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases (from new Moon to new Moon).

At 3rd quarter, the moon rises at midnight and sets at noon. Then we see only a crescent. At new, the moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset, and we don't see any of the illuminated side!

This question apparently comes after an EARLIER one,
where you were told either the voltage across the same
capacitor or the total charge stored in it. You can't answer
THIS one without that information.

Please help, and show steps. Thank you very much!

Vikentia [17]

V = 8 * 10^2 km/h = 800km/h
S= 1,8* 10^3 km = 1800km
t = ?
v = S/t
t = S/v
t = 1800km/ 800km/h
t ≈ 2,25h (135min)
