Explanation :

Voltaic cells are an electro chemical cell in which chemical reactions occurs to produce electrical energy. Its parts are :

(i) At anode oxidation occurs.

(ii) At cathode reduction occurs.

(iii) A salt bridge.

(iv) External circuit.

(v) Load.

Suppose a voltaic cell is made up of $ZnSO_4$ and $CuSO_4$ . Here zinc can lose electron more rapidly as that of copper. Oxidation of zinc occurs and is called as anode. So, this is a negative terminal.

On the other hand, copper receives electron and hence become cathode. So, this is a positive terminal.

Hence, electrons flow form Zinc to copper i.e. from negative terminal to positive terminal.

Suppose your salary in 2012 is $70,000. Assuming an annual inflation rate of 7%, what salary do you need to earn in 2020 in orde

s2008m [1.1K]

Annual salary(2012) = $70,000

Annual inflation = 7%

Therefore, the salary you need to earn in 2020 in order to have the same purchasing power can be calculated below

$2020-2012=8\text{ years}$ $FV=PV\times(1+r)^n$

where

n = 8

r = 7/100 = 0.07

PV = 70, 000

$\begin{gathered} FV=70,000(1+0.07)^8 \\ FV=70000(1.07)^8 \\ FV\text{ = 70000}\times1.71818617983 \\ FV=120273.032588 \\ FV=\text{ \$}120,273.03 \end{gathered}$

The salary you need to earn in 2020 to have the same purchasing power = $120, 273.03

A hot air balloon is hovering in the air when it drops a 40 Kg food package to some lost golfers. If the package is dropped from

UNO [17]

We can calculate this with the law of conservation of energy. Here we have a food package with a mass m=40 kg, that is in the height h=500 m and all of it's energy is potential. When it is dropped, it's potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy. So we can say that its kinetic and potential energy are equal, because we are neglecting air resistance:

Ek=Ep, where Ek=(1/2)*m*v² and Ep=m*g*h, where m is the mass of the body, g=9.81 m/s² and h is the height of the body.

(1/2)*m*v²=m*g*h, masses cancel out and we get:

(1/2)*v²=g*h, and we multiply by 2 both sides of the equation

v²=2*g*h, and we take the square root to get v:

v=√(2*g*h)

v=99.04 m/s

So the package is moving with the speed of v= 99.04 m/s when it hits the ground.

I have a bottle of gas, the bottle can expand and contract. Initially the gas is at 1 kpa of pressure and a volume of 1 Liter, a

drek231 [11]

Answer:

P₂ = 1.22 kPa

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the equation of state:

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

P₁ = initial pressure = 1 KPa

P₂ = final pressure = ?

V₁ = initial Volume = 1 liter

V₂ = final volume = 1.1 liter

T₁ = initial temperature = 290 k

T₂ = final temperature = 390 k

Therefore,

$\frac{(1\ kPa)(1\ liter)}{290\ k} =\frac{(P_2)(1.1\ liter)}{390\ k}\\\\P_2= \frac{(1\ kPa)(1\ liter)(390\ k)}{(290\ k)(1.1\ liter)}$

4A. How high is a 12 kg monkey in a tree if it has 509 J of gravitational potential Energy?

True [87]

4A. PE = MxGxH. (You can consider g as 9.8 / 10m/s as well)

509 J = 12x10xH

509 J = 120xH

H = 509/120

H = 4.24 m

Hope u got the answer....pls rate the answer if it is helpful for u....and I'm sorry I could not understand B part so I didn't do it.

Thank you

An ideal gas in a piston is placed in a refrigerator, which removes 413 J of energy from the gas via cooling. The plunger on the

maria [59]

Answer:

The net change in the internal energy of the gas in the piston is -343J

Explanation:

Because heat and workdone are the only means of energy transfer between the system and the surrounding, change in internal energy is given by;

∆E = q + w

q = heat transfer

w = workdone

Because heat is lost by the system, the heat transfer is negative

q = -413J

Because work is done on the system, workdone is positive

w = +70J

∆E = -413J + 70J

∆E = -343J
