What is the speed of a horse in meters per second that runs a distance of 1.2 miles in 2.4 minutes? (Hint: 1 mile = 1609 m)

1 answer:

7 0

Time t=2.4 minutes=2.4×60=144 seconds
distance s=1.2 miles=1.2×1609=1930.8 meters
speed v=s/t=1930.8÷144=[tex] \frac{1930.8}{144} = \frac{160.9}{12} =[/13.408m/s ~nearly]

What heat does to molecules and why

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object expands and takes up more space.

Which could describe the motion of an object? Select 3 correct answers. distance = 10 meters and displacement = 1 meter distance

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The three correct statements which could describe the motion of an object are:

distance = 10 meters and displacement = 1 meter

distance = 10 meters and displacement = 0

distance = 10 meters and displacement = 10 meters

Explanation:

Motion is the change of position of an object along any path. As such, the path can be rectilinear or along a curve whose direction is variable.

Two important characteristics used to describe a motion are the length of the path traveled and the final distance from the starting point.

The length of the path traveled is what distance describes. The final distance from the starting point to the final point is what displacement describes.

The maginitude of the displacement is the difference between the final position and the starting position.

When the path traveled is rectilinear, the distance and the magnitude of the displacement are the same.

When the path is not rectilinear, the distance (the length of the path) is always greater than the magnitude of the displacement.

Thus, as for the correct statements, you have:

distance = 10 meters and displacement = 1 meter

This means that the object traveled along a 10 meters path, but since it was not rectilinear, the difference between the final position and the starting position is just 1 meter.

distance = 10 meters and displacement = 0

This means that the object traveled 10 meters but it ended back in the very same place from which it departed (a complete turn around a table, for example).

distance = 10 meters and displacement = 10 meters

This means that the travel was in the trip was alogn a straight line, and the object traveled 10 meters and ended 10 meters away from the starting place.

As for the two incorrect statements:

distance = 0 and displacement = 10 meters

distance = 1 meter and displacement = 10 meters

It is not possible that the object ended up 10 meters away from where it was (the displacement), by traveling just 1 meter less than that.

Be sure to answer all parts. The sulfate ion can be represented with four S―O bonds or with two S―O and two S═O bonds. (a) Which

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

a) Representation - (in attachment)

b) Tetrahedral geometry and

c) $sp^{3}$ hybrid orbitals invovle sigma bonding.

$\pi$ orbitals are formed by the overlapping of d-orbitals of sulfur with p-orbitals of oxygen.

Explanation:

Representation in attachment.

The overall charge in the both structures are -2. The structure (b) is favored by the resonance structures since the formal charge with in the species are remained.

Therefore, structure (b) is the better representation of sulfate ion.

In sulfate ion, sulfur atom is attached with four different oxygen atoms. According to the VSEPR theory , the sufate ion has tetrahedral geometry.

There is four sigma bonds and zero lone pairs present on the central metal atom.

Hence, the hybridization of the sulfur atom is $sp^{3}$

The s and p orbitals of sulfur invovles hybridization and form sigma bonds.The orbitals of sulfur involves $\pi$ bonding.

Therefore, $\pi$ bonds are formed by the overlapping of d-orbitals of sulfur with p-orbitals of oxygen.

Answer:

The mechanical energy produced on burning fossil fuels is transformed into chemical energy stored in carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

When fossil fuels are burnt, mechanical energy is produced. Remember that according to the first law of thermodynamics, energy is neither created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another. Hence the mechanical energy produced when fossil fuels are burnt for industrial use, heating of homes, electricity generation , cooking etc the mechanical energy produced is not 'lost'. It must be transformed in to another form of energy.

In the image the arrow G----> C, shows the mechanical energy produced when fossil fuels are burnt are stored as chemical energy in CO2 bonds. CO2 is found in the atmosphere, hence the arrow point upwards from the source towards the atmosphere (C is the atmospheric reservoir of CO2). The energy is subsequently used by producers to produce chemical energy stored in food.
