During complete combustion carbon and hydrogen combine with oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (HO2) during that time it is not completely oxidized producing soot or carbon monoxide

Answer: incomplete supply of oxygen

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which a fuel is reacted with excess supply of oxygen to result into complete oxidation of fuel to give carbon dioxide and water.

Example of complete combustion :

$C+O_2 \rightarrow CO_2$

Incomplete combustion happens when the supply of oxygen is limited and thus fuel can not be completely oxidized , thus forming carbon monoxide.

Example of incomplete combustion :

$C+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow CO$

You are sitting 3 m away from you friend who is watching a cartoon on his phone. How will the sound itensity change if your frie

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Decreases by $3.6 \times 10^{-3}$ times

Explanation:

The intensity of a sound is defined as the energy of the sound that is flowing in an unit time through the unit area which is in the direction that is perpendicular to the direction of the sound waves movement.

The intensity of energy is described by the inverse square law. It states that the intensity varies inversely with the distance square of the distance.

In other words, the sound intensity decreases as inversely proportional to the squared of the distance. i.e. $\frac{1}{r^2}$

In the context when the distance was 3 m, the intensity of the sound was = $\frac{1}{9}$

But when the distance became 6 cm or 0.06 m, the sound intensity decreases by = $\frac{1}{0.06^2}$

= $3.6 \times 10^{-3}$ times

A feather is dropped onto the surface of the moon. How far will the feather have fallen if it reaches the surface in 9.00 second

Natali5045456 [20]

The feather's vertical position $y$ is determined by

$y=\dfrac12g_{\text{moon}}t^2$

We take the feather's starting position to be the origin, and the downward direction to be positive. Then

$y=\dfrac12\left(1.63\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(9.00\,\mathrm s\right)^2=66.0\,\mathrm m$

so the answer is D.

Which is a chemical change?

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

A. Splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen.

Explanation:

A chemical change produces a new substance. ... A physical change does not produce a new substance. Changes in state or phase (melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation, sublimation) are physical changes.

A cue ball, moving with 9.0 N·s of momentum strikes the nine-ball at rest. The nine-ball moves off with 2.0 N·s in the original

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

P = 7.28 N.s

Explanation:

given,

initial momentum of cue ball in x- direction,P₁ = 9 N.s

momentum of nine ball in x- direction, P₂ = 2 N.s

momentum in perpendicular direction i.e. y - direction,P'₂ = 2 N.s

momentum of the cue after collision = ?

using conservation of momentum

in x- direction

P₁ + p = x + P₂

p is the initial momentum of the nine balls which is equal to zero.

9 + 0 = x + 2

x = 7 N.s

momentum in x-direction.

equating along y-direction

P'₁ + p = y + P'₂

0 + 0 = y + 2

y = -2 N.s

the momentum of the cue ball after collision is equal to resultant of the momentum .

$P = \sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

$P = \sqrt{7^2+(-2)^2}$

P = 7.28 N.s

the momentum of the cue ball after collision is equal to P = 7.28 N.s
