Explanation :

Chlorofluorocarbons are abbreviated as CFC. It contains only carbon, fluorine, and chlorine. Initially, CFC is used as refrigerants.

Impact of chlorofluorocarbons on the atmosphere are :

(1) It damages the earth's ozone layer. So, it was banned in 1996.

(2) It also contributes to global warming.

(3) They have lived in atmosphere of about 20 to 100 years.

What is the length a rubberband was stretched if it has a spring constant of 5700N/m and is currently holding 8600J OF POTENTIAL

lozanna [386]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m$

Explanation:

<u>Elastic Potential Energy </u>

Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

$\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2$

Given a rubber band of a spring constant of k=5700 N/m that is holding potential energy of PE=8600 J, it's required to find the change of length under these conditions.

Solving for Δx:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=\swrt{\frac{2PE}{k}}$

Substituting:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{\frac{2*8600}{5700}}$

Calculating:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{3.0175}$

$\boxed{\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m}$

When determining whether a chemical reaction has taken place, you observe and look for several indicators. Which would be consid

Inga [223]

The answer is B.

A cannot be the answer is melting is a physical change. No chemical reaction took place.

B is the answer as it is a EXOTHERMIC REACTION so heat will be given off.

C cannot be the answer as dissolving is basically atoms becoming ions, not a chemical reaction whereby a reactant reacts with another reactant to form a product.

D cannot be the answer. Same reason as for why A is not the answer.

Cheers.

As the distance between the sun and earth decreases, the speed of the planet

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Explanation:

Increases. The force of gravity is distance dependent. Therefore, a smaller 'r' value will result in a larger force. Net force is proportional to the acceleration, so the planet will increase its speed.

If a student flicks a stationary 0.1 kg ball with 5N of force for 0.1 seconds. What is its final

Alisiya [41]

5m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ball = 0.1kg

Force on the ball = 5N

time taken = 0.1s

Unknown:

final speed of the ball = ?

Solution:

According to newton's second law "the net force on a body is the product of its mass and acceleration".

Force = mass x acceleration equation 1

Acceleration =

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

T is the time taken

U = O since it is a stationary body;

a = $\frac{V}{T}$

Input "a" into equation 1

F = m x $\frac{V}{T}$

5 = 0.1 x $\frac{V}{0.1}$

V = 5m/s
