Answer:

This demonstrates Newton's Third Law because for every action there is an equal and opposite force.

Explanation:

The cat's paw hitting her toy string would be an action therefore when is swings to and from her it it creating and equal and opposite force. In other words, the cat hits it and when the string comes back to her it's coming back the same force just opposite of the direction she hit.

A certain first-order reaction is 58% complete in 95 s. What are the values of the rate constant and the half-life for this proc

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

$0.005734 s^{-1}$ and 20.86 seconds are the values of the rate constant and the half-life for this process respectively..

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$a_o=a\times e^{-kt}$

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

$a_o$ = let initial amount of the reactant

a = amount left after decay process

We have :

$a_o=x$

$a=58\%\times x=0.58x$

t = 95 s

$0.58x=x\times e^{-k\times 95 s}$

$\k= 0.005734 s^{-1}$

Half life is given by for first order kinetics::

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$=\frac{0.693}{0.005734 s^{-1}}=120.86 s$

$0.005734 s^{-1}$ and 20.86 seconds are the values of the rate constant and the half-life for this process respectively..

Which person will most likely hear the loudest sound?

Nataliya [291]

Person standing on A will hear the loudest sound

Explanation:

The intensity of a sound wave (which is proportional to the loudness of the sound) follows an inverse square law, which is:

$I\propto \frac{1}{r^2}$

where

I is the intensity of the wave

r is the distance from the source of the sound

This equation means that the intensity of the sound wave (and therefore, its loudness) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source: therefore,
