suppose a log's mass is 5 kg. After burning, the mass of the ash is 1 kg. explain what May have happened to the other 4 kg.

We know that the mass of the log before burning is 5 kg. After it is burnt, the mass of the ash comes out to be 1 kg. So there is a definite mismatch of 4 kg. When the log is burnt, there is the formation of smoke. The air and water present in the wood vaporises to reduce the weight significantly. The combustion actually leads to the formation of carbon dioxide that mixes with the air and also water. The extra mass thus goes into the formation of carbon dioxide and water.

What is current of 12 ohm? help me pleasee​
worty [1.4K]
1 Ampere

Explanation:

1/R = 1/8 + 1/10 + 1/12
1/R = (30 + 24 + 20) / 240
1/R = 74 / 240
R = 240 / 37
R = 120/37 Ohms
We know that,
V = IR
I = V/R
I = 12 / (120/37)
I = 12 × 37/120
I = 37/10
I = 3.7 A
Now,
The current in 12 ohm resistor →
= 1 A
∴ The current in 12 ohm resistor is​ 1 ampere

A cutting tool several forces acting on it. One force is F=-axy^2 j , a force in the negative y-direction whose magnitude depend
liq [111]
The force on the tool is entirely in the negative-y direction.
So no work is done during any moves in the x-direction.

The work will be completely defined by

                     (Force) x (distance in the y-direction),

and it won't matter what route the tool follows to get anywhere. 
Only the initial and final y-coordinates matter.

We know that    F = - 2.85 y².  (I have no idea what that ' j ' is doing there.)
Remember that 'F' is pointing down.

From  y=0  to  y=2.40  is a distance of  2.40  upward.

Sadly, since the force is not linear over the distance, I don't think
we can use the usual formula for  Work = (force) x (distance).
I think instead we'll need to integrate the force over the distance,
and I can't wait to see whether I still know how to do that.

        Work  =  integral of (F·dy) evaluated from  0  to  2.40

                  =  integral of (-2.85 y² dy) evaluated from  0  to  2.40

                 =  (-2.85) · integral of  (y² dy)  evaluated from  0  to  2.40 .


Now, integral of (y² dy)  =  1/3  y³ .

Evaluated from  0  to  2.40 , it's  (1/3 · 2.40³) - (1/3 · 0³)

                                            =  1/3 · 13.824  =  4.608 .

And the work  =  (-2.85) · the integral

                     =  (-2.85) · (4.608)

                     =      - 13.133  .

-- There are no units in the question (except for that mysterious ' j ' after the 'F',
which totally doesn't make any sense at all).
If the ' F ' is newtons and the 2.40 is meters, then the  -13.133 is joules.

-- The work done by the force is negative, because the force points
DOWN but we lifted the tool UP to 2.40.  Somebody had to provide
13.133 of positive work to lift the tool up against the force, and the force
itself did 13.133 of negative work to 'allow' the tool to move up. 

-- It doesn't matter whether the tool goes there along the line  x=y , or
by some other route.  WHATEVER the route is, the work done by ' F ' 
is going to total up to be  -13.133 joules at the end of the day.

As I hinted earlier, the last time I actually studied integration was in 1972,
and I haven't really used it too much since then.  But that's my answer
and I'm stickin to it.  If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong, and I hope somebody
will show me where I'm wrong.

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

2. a region about the nucleus in which an electron of specified energy will probably be found

Explanation:

With quantum mechanics we can find the wave function that describes the movement of the particles, the interpretation of this wave function is through the probability density (φ* φ).

This probabilistic interpretation of the energies, position and amounts of motion electrons allow us to find the region around the nucleus where an electron of specific energy can be found with a given probability.

The correct answer is 2
