Answer:

15 kJ

Explanation:

We need to know the following;

what is activation energy?

  • Activation energy is the minimum energy required by reactants for a chemical reaction to take place.

What are catalysts?

  • Catalysts are molecules or substances that speed up the rate of a chemical reaction.
  • In other words, catalysts increase the speed at which products are formed from reactants.

How do catalysts speed up reactions?

  • Catalysts speed the rate of chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy of the reactants.
  • When activation energy is lowered, reactants require less energy for the reaction to occur which easily achieved making the reaction proceed faster.
  • Therefore, in presence of a catalyst, the new activation energy should be lower than the initial value of activation energy.

A motorcycle is traveling east at a rate of 56mph.it take 6.7 s for it to decrease its speed to 35mph. How far does the motorcyc
Phantasy [73]
Initial speed = 56mph
Final speed = 35mph

Time taken = 6.7seconds...

Converting the time to hour.. Divide by 3600..
= 6.7/3600

=0.00186hour..

Acceleration = v-u/t

a = 35-56/0.00186
a = -11283.6mph²

The negative sign shows that it decelerated...

V² = u²+2as

(35)² = (56)² + 2×-11283.6×s
Where s is the distance covered within that time...

1225 = 3136 - 22567.2s

22567.2s = 3136-1225

22567.2s = 1911

S = 1911/22567.2

S = 0.08468miles...

But at the end of the question we were made to understand that 1miles = 5280ft

Therefore 0.08468miles = (0.08468×5280)ft

= 447. 11feets...

Which is approximately 447ft.....


Hope this helped.... ?

At which latitudes do currents of dry sinking air cause the dry conditions of earth's major deserts
Inessa05 [86]
Currents of dry sinking air cause the dry conditions of earth's major deserts at: <span>30° N and 30° S Latitudes

At approximately 30 degrees from the equator, the air that moved up from the equator started to descends. This air, however, could only come from one direction. So when the air is blocked by a mountain, the other side will not receive any water that it contains. This makes the other sides of the mountain became really dry which will eventually cause the formation of the desert.</span>
