On arrival at a vehicle collision, you observe a small fire in the engine compartment. A bystander is attempting to smother the

fire with a jacket as you approach with an A-B-C extinguisher from your ambulance. Which of the following is the best method of extinguishing the fire?
a. Sweep the nozzle of the extinguisher left and right using short bursts until you are out of extinguishing agent.
b. Aim at the base of the fire and use short bursts until the fire is out.
c. Close the hood to contain the fire within the engine compartment.
d. Aim the nozzle to the side of the fire and, with a sweeping motion, push the fire at its base

Answer:

<em>Aim at the base of the fire and use short bursts until the fire is out.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Fire extinguishers use CO2 (Carbondioxide) as the extinguishing agent. This is because CO2 is denser than air, and does not support combustion.

Aiming at the base of the fire causes the CO2 to fall on the base of the fire, where the source of the fire is, trapping it, and preventing it from further reacting with air in a combustion reaction. Also, the short burst creates a strong wind that forces the flame to blow out.

.A coin rolls off the edge of a table. The coin
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Apply the following formulae horizontally And get A value for time

Remember horizontal acceleration is zero

s  = ut +  \frac{1}{2}a {t}^{2}   \\ 0.8 = 1.7 \times t \\  \frac{0.8}{1.7}  = t \\ t = 0.47s

and then to find the height apply the same above equation vertically...remember vertical initial velocity is zero

s = ut +  \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}  \\ s =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 10 \times (0.47) ^{2}  \\ s = 1.1045m

Choose a substance you're familiar with. what are its physical and chemical properties? How would you measure its density? What
Gekata [30.6K]
<span>you can look at magnesium, it can react with oxygen to form oxides. (chemical) it is malleable and a solid at room temperature. (physical)

</span><span>to measure its density, the mass and volume can be worked out and from this density too. look up the equation, it is quite easy :) 
</span><span>physical changes -- it can be melted, and oxidized 

</span><span>the chemical changes of oxidation magnesium looses electrons to form oxides, this is a chemical reaction- chemical change..--- use to get the density use (rho) or density D = M/V</span>

What motion makes the acceleration unchanged?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The acceleration is equal to the net force divided by the mass. If the net force acting on an object doubles, its acceleration is doubled. If the mass is doubled, then acceleration will be halved. If both the net force and the mass are doubled, the acceleration will be unchanged.

A scuba diver at 70 m below the surface of a lake, where the temperature is 4 degrees C, releases an air bubble with a volume of
posledela

Answer:

121.3 cm^3

Explanation:

P1 = Po + 70 m water pressure (at a depth)

P2 = Po (at the surface)

T1 = 4°C = 273 + 4 = 277 K

V1 = 14 cm^3

T2 = 23 °C = 273 + 23 = 300 K

Let the volume of bubble at the surface of the lake is V2.

Density of water, d = 1000 kg/m^3

Po = atmospheric pressure = 10^5 N/m^2

P1 = 10^5 + 70 x 1000 x 10 = 8 x 10^5 N/m^2

Use the ideal gas equation

\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}

By substituting the values, we get

\frac{8\times 10^5\times 14}{277}=\frac{10^{5} \timesV_{2}}{300}

V2 = 121.3 cm^3

Thus, the volume of bubble at the surface of lake is 121.3 cm^3.
