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.

a 2.35 water bucket is swung in a full cirlce of radius 0.824 m just fast enough so that the water doesn't fall out the top mean

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

2.84 m/s

Explanation:

At the top position of the circular trajectory, the normal reaction is zero:

N = 0

So it means that the only force that is providing the centripetal force is the gravitational force (the weight of the bucket). Therefore we have:

$mg = m \frac{v^2}{r}$

where

m is the mass of the water bucket

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

v is the speed of the bucket

r = 0.824 m is the radius of the circle

Solving for v,

$v=\sqrt{gr}=\sqrt{(9.8 m/s^2)(0.824 m)}=2.84 m/s$

A particular planet has a moment of inertia of 9.74 × 1037 kg ⋅ m2 and a mass of 5.98 × 1024 kg. Based on these values, what is

malfutka [58]

Answer: A) $6.38(10)^{6} m$

Explanation:

The equation for the moment of inertia $I$ of a sphere is:

$I=\frac{2}{5}mr^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$I=9.74(10)^{37}kg m^{2}$ is the moment of inertia of the planet (assumed with the shape of a sphere)

$m=5.98(10)^{24}kg$ is the mass of the planet

$r$ is the radius of the planet

Isolating $r$ from (1):

$r=\sqrt{\frac{5I}{2m}}$ (2)

Solving:

$r=\sqrt{\frac{5(9.74(10)^{37}kg m^{2})}{2(5.98(10)^{24}kg)}}$ (3)

Finally:

$r=6381149.077m \approx 6.38(10)^{6} m$

Therefore, the correct option is A.

How much is the velocity of a body when it travels 600m in 5 minutes?

maks197457 [2]

answer

so unit of velocity is m/s

displacement=600m

5minutes should be converted to seconds

5×60=300 seconds

so,

velocity= displacement÷time

= 600m ÷300s

=2m/s or 2ms^-1

The potential energy of a negative charge moved from point A to point B will increase.A negative charge moved from point A to po

AysviL [449]

Answer:

<em>The K.E from A to B won't increase...</em>

Explanation:

That's because the P.E from A to B is increasing. The K.E will increase if charge moves from a higher potential to a lower potential i.e., from B to A.

That is the reason there is no effect on net K.E when moving from a potential to same potential over and over (A to C).
