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.

A 2kg bowling ball rolls at a speed of 5 m/s on a roof of the building that is 40 meters tall. What is the kinetic energy
MrRa [10]
The kinetic energy is \frac 1 2 m v^2 and the height of the building doesn't matter at all.

E = \frac 1 2 m v^2 = \frac 1 2 (2)(5)^2 = 25 joules

Formulating a Hypothesis: Part I Since the investigative question has two variables, you need to focus on each one separately. T
Taya2010 [7]

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is said to be possessed due to the motion of the object. An object at rest will have zero kinetic energy and if it is in motion it will have some kinetic energy. The mathematical expression for kinetic energy is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times m\times v^2...........(1)

Where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of object

It is clear form expression (1) that the kinetic energy of the object is directly proportional to the mass and velocity of an object.

So, the hypothesis for the mass and kinetic energy can be written as " when the mass of the object increases, its kinetic energy also increases because there exists a direct relationship between the mass and the kinetic energy of the object".

In an internal combustion engine, heat flow into a gas causes it to <br> .
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Along path BC of the Otto cycle, heat transfer Qh into the gas occurs at constant volume, causing a further increase in pressure and temperature. This process corresponds to burning fuel in an internal combustion engine, and takes place so rapidly that the volume is nearly constant.

chromatic aberration problem do refractor telescopes have that reflectors don't

<u>Explanation:</u>

Chromatic aberration is a phenom in which light rays crossing through a lens focus at various points, depending on their wavelength. Chromatic aberration is a dilemma in which lens or refracting, telescopes undergo from. The various image distances for the respective colors affect various image sizes for them.

This involves the creation of disturbing color fringes in the image. Chromatic aberration can be pretty well adjusted by the use of an achromatic doublet. Here, a positive biconvex lens is coupled with a negative lens placed backward with greater dispersion. Thus partly compensates for the chromatic aberration.
