In most compartment fires, the energy release in fire is directly proportional to the amount of oxygen available for combustion.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

A fire is the chemical outcome of energy generated by the heat. So, this heat is generating fire due to friction between the heating source with igniting elements. And to increase the chain reaction of fire leading to combustion or fire require oxygen. So, the amount of oxygen will lead to the production of fire. Thus, the energy released by fire will be equal to the amount of oxygen available for combustion.

If there is no oxygen, then the fire will get succumbed. The fire consumes the oxygen present to increase the pace and spread of fire. So the consumed oxygen utilized for converting the simple fire to combustion will be equal to the release of energy in fire. Thus, energy released in fire is directly proportional to the amount of oxygen available for combustion.

4. An object is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 25 m/s. How much time passes before it

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

<em>Option b is correct: 4.1 s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Vertical Launch</u>

An object launched thrown vertically upward where air resistance is negligible, reaches its maximum height in a time t, given by the equation:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{v_o}{g}\qquad\qquad[1]$

Where vo is the initial speed and g is the acceleration of gravity g=9.8 $m/s^2$ .

Once the object reaches that point, it starts a free-fall motion, whose speed is (downward) given by:

$v_f=g.t\qquad\qquad[2]$

The object considered in the question is thrown with vo=25 m/s. The time taken to reach the maximum height is given by [1]:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{25}{9.8}=2.551\ sec$

The object starts its falling motion and at some time, it has a speed of vf=15 m/s. Let's find the time by solving [2] for t:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{15}{9.8}=1.531\ sec$

The total time taken by the object to go up and down is

$t_t=2.551\ s+1.531\ s=4.081\ s$

a. This option is incorrect because it's far away from the answer.

d. This option is incorrect because it's far away from the answer.

b. This option is correct because it's a good approximation to the calculated answer.

e. This option is incorrect because it's far away from the answer.

c. This option is incorrect because it's far away from the answer.

What is the speed of a wave frequency of 300hz and a wavelength of 25M

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

7500 m/s

Explanation:

We can use the equation velocity of a wave equals wavelength times frequency. Therefore, v = wavelength*f = (25 m)(300 Hz) = m/s7,500
