A reaction that releases energy as it occurs is classified as a(n ________.

1 answer:

3 0

The reaction that releases energy is called an EXOTHERMIC process. This is a word from the prefix exo- which means to exit and from the root word therm which is a unit of heat which in turn is form of energy. This is the opposite process of ENDOTHERMIC process.

A difference In density between gases creates buoyancy which is the ability of an object to float. 0°C helium has a density of .

rjkz [21]

Answer:

mass = 0.18 [kg]

Explanation:

This is a classic problem where we can apply the definition of density which is equal to mass over volume.

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\\\where:\\volume = 1 [m^3]\\density = 0.18[kg/m^3]$

mass = 0.18*1

mass = 0.18 [kg]

1.P=UI
2.U=IR
so P=U^2/R
R=U^2/P=110*110/250=48.4ohm

A housefly walking across a clean surface can accumulate a significant positive or negative charge. In one experiment, the large

Lisa [10]

Answer:

$4.56*10^8 \text{ electrons.}$

Explanation:

Since the fly accumulated a positive charge of +73pC, it must have lost an equal number of negative charge of -73pC to the surface (because the housefly was neutral to begin with).

Therefore, to answer our question we have to ask ourselves <em>how many electrons combine to make -73pC of charge? </em>

The answer is since one electron carries a charge of $-1.6*10^{-19}C$ , the number $n$ of electrons that make up -73pC $(-73*10^{-12}C)$ are

$n= \dfrac{-73*10^{-12}C}{-1.6*10^{-19}C/e}$

$\boxed{n= 4.56*10^8e.}$

Thus, the housefly lost about 456 million electrons to the surface!

A cosmic catastrophic event occurred that caused the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to its plane of orbit to increase from 23

Gnom [1K]

Answer: The elimination of seasonal variations

Explanation:

Since the cosmic catastrophic event which occurred led to the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the plane of orbit to increase from 23.5° to 90°, the most obvious effect of this change would be the elimination of seasonal variations.

It should be noted that seasonal variation refers to the variation in a time series that's within a year which is repeated. The cause of seasonal variation can include rainfall, temperature, etc.

What is the difference between V(peak voltage) and Vrms (root-mean-square) of AC voltage source?

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

V(peak voltage) is the highest voltage that the waveform will ever attain and the Vrms(root-mean-square) is the effective voltage of the total waveform representing the AC source.
