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 :

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

A bobsled team accelerates the sled to go to 150 m/s in 3 seconds from rest.(a)What is the

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the equation of Newton's laws of motion

v = u + at where v is final velocity , u is initial velocity and t is time.

150 = 0 + a x 3

a = 50 m / s ²

s = ut + 1/2 at² ; s is distance travelled

s = 50 x 3 + .5 x 50 x 3²

= 150 + 225

= 375 m .

Which of the following is a scalar quantity?

makvit [3.9K]

The only scalar quantity is a. 35 m

Explanation:

In physics, there are two types of quantities:

- Scalar: a scalar quantiy is a quantity having only a magnitude, so it is just a number followed by a unit. Examples of scalar quantities in physics are:

Speed

Energy

Distance

Time

- Vector: a vector quantity is quantity having both a magnitude and a direction. Examples of vector quantities in physics are:

Velocity

Force

Acceleration

Displacement

Let's now analyze each given option, to evaluate if it is a scalar or a vector:

a. 35m --> it is only a unit (no direction), so it is a scalar

b. 20 m to the right --> it has a direction, so it is a vector

c. 30 m to the North --> it has a direction, so it is a vector

So, the only correct option is a).

Answer:

petroleum

Explanation:

Petroleum is a gas that we use that just goes into the air whilst water can be recycled and purified, wind never ever goes away, and solar power can be converted into energy.

Add a vector whose magnitude is 13 with angle 27 degrees to one whose magnitude is 11 with angle 45 degrees? Put the length firs

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Magnitude of the vector is $23.75\ \text{units}$ and the direction is $35.23^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Magnitude of first vector = $|A| = 13\ \text{units}$

Angle = $\theta_1=27^{\circ}$

Magnitude of second vector = $|B| = 11\ \text{units}$

Angle = $\theta_2=45^{\circ}$

x component of first vector

$A_{x}=|A|\cos\theta_1\\\Rightarrow A_x=13\cos27^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow A_x=11.6\ \text{units}$

y component of first vector

$A_{y}=|A|\sin\theta_1\\\Rightarrow A_y=13\sin27^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow A_y=5.9\ \text{units}$

x component of second vector

$B_{x}=|B|\cos\theta_2\\\Rightarrow B_x=11\cos45^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow B_x=7.8\ \text{units}$

y component of first vector

$B_{y}=|B|\sin\theta_2\\\Rightarrow B_y=11\sin45^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow A_y=7.8\ \text{units}$

Adding the magnitudes

$C_x=A_x+B_x=11.6+7.8\\\Rightarrow C_x=19.4\ \text{units}$

$C_y=A_y+B_y=5.9+7.8\\\Rightarrow C_y=13.7\ \text{units}$

Magnitude of the sum of the vectors would be

$|C|=\sqrt{C_x^2+C_y^2}\\\Rightarrow |C|=\sqrt{19.4^2+13.7^2}=23.75\ \text{units}$

The direction would be

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{C_y}{C_x}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{13.7}{19.4}\\\Rightarrow \theta=35.23^{\circ}$

The magnitude of the vector is $23.75\ \text{units}$ and the direction is $35.23^{\circ}$
