(a) The average mpg rating for an older model of a car is 24.8 miles to the gallon and it takes 6.60 x 10^5 J of work done on th

e car to drive one mile. Given that a gallon of gasoline gives 1.19 x 10^8 J of internal energy to the car, what is the amount of heat released to the atmosphere for each mile you drive the car?

Answer:

the gasoline releases Q=-4138387 J/mile to the atmosphere

Explanation:

from the fist law of thermodynamics

ΔU = Q - W

where ΔU= change in internal energy , Q= heat received , W= work done by the system

then

Q = ΔU + W

knowing that

ΔU = internal energy per gallon * number of gallons consumed in 24.8 miles

= (-1.19 x 10^8 J/ gallon) * 1 gallon /24.8 miles = (-4798387 J/mile)

W = work done by mile= 6.60 x 10^5 J/mile

therefore the heat released per mile

Q = ΔU + W = -4798387 J/mile + 6.60 x 10^5 J/mile = -4138387 J

since Q is negative , energy is released into the atmosphere

The longest wavelength within the visible spectrum is _______ light.
Goryan [66]
<span>The longest wavelength within the visible spectrum is the red light. The answer is letter C. It is called visible light because it is the only light that can be seen by the human eye. Red light is the longest wavelength around 620 to 750 nanometer. It is followed by orange which has a wavelength of 590 t 620 nanometer. And then blue which has a wavelength of 450 to 495 nanometer. And the shortest wavelength is violet which has a wavelength of 380 to 459 nanometer.  </span>

Answer:

This would be traveling at the lower reaches.

Explanation:

A river would be traveling the fastest at the upper reaches and it becomes slower at the middle reaches and the slowest at the lower reaches. A place where water flows fast in a river is where the width is narrow and the bottom is steep. (This is just examples incase you would like to keep notes).

Which process is an example of a physical change?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Option A

Carrots are cut into small pieces and mixed into a salad

Explanation:

When physical changes occur, the actual composition remain the same but the molecules are re-arranged. Therefore, when carrots are cut into smaller pieces and mixed into salad, there will be no chemical reaction hence the actual composition will remain the same despite being cut and molecules in it re-arranged. Considering the other options, new substances are formed hence they are deemed as chemical changes. Therefore, option A is correct.
