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 box slides down a 30.0° ramp with an acceleration of 1.20 m/s^2. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box
Zielflug [23.3K]

m = mass of the box

N = normal force on the box

f = kinetic frictional force on the box

a = acceleration of the box

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

perpendicular to incline , force equation is given as

N = mg Cos30                                         eq-1

kinetic frictional force is given as

f = μ N

using eq-1

f = μ mg Cos30    


parallel to incline , force equation is given as

mg Sin30 - f = ma

mg Sin30 - μ mg Cos30  = ma

"m" cancel out

a = g Sin30 - μ g Cos30

inserting the values

1.20 = (9.8) Sin30 - (9.8) Cos30 μ

μ = 0.44

What happens to the current as we increase the amount of stepping of our transformer? Does this help explain why the primary was
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Current will decrease.

Explanation:

When we increase the number of stepping in transformer, the voltage will increase as its is directly proportional to the number of turn of stepping. Thus as the voltage will increase, current will decrease. As per the equation of ideal transformer,   E1 / E2 = I2 / I1

E1 and E2 are the voltages in primary and secondary winding and I1 and I2 are the current.

As the number of turns will be increased more inevitable losses will be generated that dissipates heat thus warming the primary.

Though the conservation of energy is obeyed but losses occur in this scenario hence step-up transformers cannot be used to create free energy.

Consider two carts, of masses m and 2m, at rest on an air track. if you first push one cart for 3 s and then the other for the s
Marrrta [24]
F = m₁ a₁ = m₂ a₂

if m₁ = m and m₂ = 2m :

F = ma₁ = 2m  a₂ ⇒ a₁ = 2 a₂
 
since v = at + v₀  with t = 3, v₀ = 0 ⇒ v = 3a:

v₁ = 2 v₂

since p = vm with v₁ = 2v and v₂ = v :

p₁ = v₁m₁ = 2v ⁻ m
p₂ = v₂m₂ = v ⁻ 2m

p₁ = p₂
