Is a battery that generates hydrogen,is that very explosive

1 answer:

7 0

The answer is yes!
Hydrogen gas is generated as part of the charging process of lead/acid cell batteries. If the hydrogen gas acculates in large concentrations in a building or room or a box, an electrical spark or other ignition source will cause the hydrogen to burn in a rapid reaction causing an possible explosion.
A good example of a hydrogen gas explosion and fire is the "Hindenburg" disaster of the old flying blimps or zepplins.

Find the kenetic energy of a car of mass 700kg racing with a velocity of 10m/s

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

35000 KJ

Explanation:

The equation for the kinetic energy is given by the formula :

$E_{k} = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

$E_{k} = \frac{1}{2} (700)(10)^{2}$

$E_{k} = \frac{1}{2} (700)(100)$

$E_{k} = (350)(100)$ OR $E_{k} = \frac{1}{2} (70000)$

$E_{k} = 35000$

Units will be kilojoules since the units of mass was kilograms .

Our final answer is 35000 KJ

The amount of pressure exerted by a solid is based on

Veronika [31]

Answer:

pressure= force/area

A solid resting on a horizontal surfaceexerts a normal contactforce equals to its weight. The pressure of the solid on the surface depends on the area of contact. (b) the area of contact between the two surfaces. The greater the force or the smaller the area the greater the pressure.
