Is a battery that generates hydrogen,is that very explosive

Physics
1 answer:
Andrews [41]2 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.

Two 2.0 cm by 2.0 cm metal electrodes are spaced 1.0 mm apart and connected by wires of the terminals of a 9.0 V battery.
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Explanation:

Area of electrodes, A = 2 cm x 2 cm = 4 cm²

Separation between electrodes, d = 1 mm

Voltage, V = 9 V

(a)

Let C is the capacitance between the electrodes

C = \frac{\epsilon _{0}A}{d}

C = \frac{8.854\times 10^{-12}\times 4\times 10^{-4}}{1\times 10^{-3}}

C = 3.54 x 10^-12 F

Let q be the charge on each of the electrode

q = C x V

q = 3.54 x 10^-12 x 9 = 3.2 x 10^-11 C

(b)

As, the battery is disconnected the charge on the electrodes remains same.

(c)

As the battery is connected the voltage is same.

capacitance is change.

As the distance is doubled, the capacitance becomes half and the charge is also halved. q' = q/2 = 1.6 x 10^-11 C

If a car has an initial velocity of 20 m/s and accelerates at 2.0 m/s2 for 100 m, what is its final velocity?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

28.28 ms-1

Explanation:

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 20² + 2×2×100

v²= 800

v = 28.28 ms-1

What is the density of iron if 5.0 cm3 has a mass of 39.5g
weqwewe [10]

Answer :\rho = 7.9\ g/cm^3

Explanation :

It is given that

Mass of iron, m = 39.5 g

Volume of iron, V = 5\ cm^3

So, density is :

density, \rho =\dfrac{mass}{volume}

\rho =\dfrac{39.5g}{5cm^3}

\rho = 7.9\ g/cm^3

Find the equivalent resistance Req between terminals a and b if terminals c and d are open and again if terminals c and d are sh
adoni [48]

Answer:

351 ohm

720 ohm

Explanation:

When c and d are open:

Terminals c and d are open.. If you  redraw the circuit as below, you can see that the two resistors in the first  column are in parallel as, they are connected together at both pairs of terminals  (due to the short).

Hence, we have a pair of parallel resistors:

Req1 = (R1*R2)/ (R1 + R2) = 360*540/(360+540) = 216 ohms

Req2 = (R3*R4)/ (R3 + R4) = 180*540/(180+540) = 135 ohms

Now these two sets are  in series with another Hence,

Req = Req1 + Req2 = 216 + 135 = 351 ohms

Answer: 351 ohms

When c and d are shorted:

The current will flow through the least resistant path naturally from resistors R3 and R1 or R4.

Both of these resistor lie in a single path placing the resistors in series to one another, hence

Req = R3 + R1 = 180 + 540 = 720 ohms

Answer:720 ohms
