Is a battery that generates hydrogen,is that very explosive

Physics
1 answer:
Andrews [41]3 years ago
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.

malfutka [58]

Here Change in Kinetic Energy = Work Done by Friction

Therefore, substituting the given values to the equation, we get

0.5 * m * (vFinal^2 - vInitial^2) = µ m g * d

Therefore

0.5*( 5.90^2 - Vfinal^2 ) = 0.100*9.8*2.10

Therefore

vfinal = 5.54 m/sec

In a classroom demonstration, the pressure inside a soft drink can is suddenly reduced to essentially zero. Assuming the can to
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

3141N or 3.1 ×10³N to 2 significant figures. The can experiences this inward force on its outer surface.

Explanation:

The atmospheric pressure acts on the outer surface of the can. In order to calculate this inward force we need to know the total surface area of the can available to the air outside the can. Since the can is a cylinder with a total surface area given by 2πrh + 2πr² =

A = 2πr(r + h)

Where h = height of the can = 12cm

r = radius of the can = 6.5cm/2 = 3.25cm

r = diameter /2

A = 2π×3.25 ×(3.25 + 12) = 311.4cm² = 311.4 ×10-⁴ = 0.031m²

Atmospheric pressure, P = 101325Pa = 101325 N/m²

F = P × A

F = 101325 ×0.031.

F = 3141N. Or 3.1 ×10³ N.

A ship 1200m off shore fires a gun. how long after the gun is fired will it be heard on the shore?​
ryzh [129]

Answer:

We know that the speed of sound is 343 m/s in air

we are also given the distance of the boat from the shore

From the provided data, we can easily find the time taken by the sound to reach the shore using the second equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2 at²

since the acceleration of sound is 0:

s = ut + 1/2 (0)t²

s = ut    <em>(here, u is the speed of sound , s is the distance travelled and t is the time taken)</em>

Replacing the variables in the equation with the values we know

1200 = 343 * t

t = 1200 / 343

t = 3.5 seconds (approx)

Therefore, the sound of the gun will be heard at the shore, 3.5 seconds after being fired
