Answer:

Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This is normally taken as the definition of inertia. ... If that velocity is zero, then the object remains at rest.

Answer:

Before Galileo and Newton, many people thought that objects lost speed because they had a built-in natural tendency to do so. But those people weren't taking into account the multiple forces here on Earth - for example, friction, gravity, and air resistance - that cause objects to change their speed. If we could see the motion of an object in deep interstellar space, we would be able to observe the natural tendencies of an object that is free from any external influence. In deep interstellar space we would observe that if an object had a speed, it would continue to move with that speed until there was some force causing a change in its motion. Likewise, if an object were at rest in interstellar space, it would remain at rest until there was a force causing a change in its motion.

Plants get energy from the

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Plants need energy from the sun, water from the soil, and carbon from the air to grow. Air is mostly made of nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. So how do plants get the carbon they need to grow? They absorb carbon dioxide from the air.

What does condensation mean in the water cycle?

tester [92]

Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water. Condensation is crucial to the water cycle because it is responsible for the formation of clouds. ... Condensation is the opposite of evaporation.

An electrochemical cell has the following standard cell notation.

icang [17]

The cell notation is:

$Mg(s)|Mg^{+2}(aq)||Ag^{+}(aq)|Ag(s)$

here in cell notation the left side represent the anodic half cell where right side represents the cathodic half cell

in anodic half cell : oxidation takes place [loss of electrons]

in cathodic half cell: reduction takes place [gain of electrons]

1) this is a galvanic cell

2) the standard potential of cell will be obtained by subtracting the standard reduction potential of anode from cathode

$E^{0}_{Mg}=-2.38V$

$E^{0}_{Ag}=+0.80V$

Therefore

$E^{0}_{cell}=0.80-(-2.38)=+3.18V$

3) as the value of emf is positive the reaction will be spontaneous as the free energy change of reaction will be negative

Δ $G^{0}=-nFE^{0}$

As reaction is spontaneous and there will be conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy it is a galvanic cell.

The heating curve for a sample of pure ethanol shows the slope of the line for gaseous state is greater than the slope of the li

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

a. The specific heat capacity of the gaseous ethanol is less than the specific heat capacity of liquid ethanol.

Explanation:

The heating curve is a curve that represents temperature (T) in the y-axis vs. added heat (Q) in the x-axis. The slope is T/Q = 1/C, where C is the heat capacity. Then, the higher the slope, the lower the heat capacity. For a constant mass, it can also represent the specific heat capacity (c).

Heats of vaporization and fusion cannot be calculated from these sections of the heating curve.

Which statement below explains that?

a. The specific heat capacity of the gaseous ethanol is less than the specific heat capacity of liquid ethanol. YES.

b. The specific heat capacity of the gaseous ethanol is greater than the specific heat capacity of liquid ethanol. NO.

c. The heat of vaporization of ethanol is less than the heat of fusion of ethanol. NO.

d. The heat of vaporization of ethanol is greater than the heat of fusion of ethanol. NO.
