<h2>Answer:</h2>

[D] It oxidizes.

4K + O2 → 2K2O, <u>potassium oxide</u> is produce.

We have the equation, in which when <u>potassium</u> react with <u>oxygen</u>, as a product it formed <u>Potassium oxide</u> which means <u>adding of oxygen</u> (<u>oxidation</u>).

An air balloon is moving upward at a constant speed of 3 m/s. Suddenly a passenger realizes that she left her camera on the grou

frosja888 [35]

Answer:t=0.3253 s

Explanation:

Given

speed of balloon is $u=3\ m/s$

speed of camera $u_1=20\ m/s$

Initial separation between camera and balloon is $d_o=5\ m$

Suppose after t sec of throw camera reach balloon then,

distance travel by balloon is

$s=ut$

$s=3\times t$

and distance travel by camera to reach balloon is

$s_1=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$s_1=20\times t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Now

$\Rightarrow s_1=5+s$

$\Rightarrow 20\times t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2 =5+3t$

$\Rightarrow 5t^2-17t+5=0$

$\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{17\pm \sqrt{17^2-4(5)(5)}}{2\times 5}$

$\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{17\pm 13.747}{10}$

$\Rightarrow t=0.3253\ s\ \text{and}\ t=3.07\ s$

There are two times when camera reaches the same level as balloon and the smaller time is associated with with the first one .

(b)When passenger catches the camera time is $t=0.3253\ s$

velocity is given by

$v=u+at$

$v=20-10\times 0.3253$

$v=16.747\ m/s$

and position of camera is same as of balloon so

Position is $=5+3\times 0.3253$

$=5.975\approx 6\ m$

A pulling force is called what?<br> A. normal<br> B. tension<br> C. balanced<br> D. compression

joja [24]

<span>There is no special name for that. Physics is usually just concerned with "forces", and doesn't specify whether the force pushes or pulls. If you want to be more specific, you can just call it a "pulling force".
I hoped this was satisfying!:)</span>

Two friends of different masses are on the playground. They are playing on the seesaw and are able to balance it even though the

Westkost [7]

Answer:

They are able to balance torques due to gravity.

$F_1 L_1 = F_2L_2$

Explanation:

When two friends of different masses will balance themselves on see saw then at equilibrium position the see saw will remain horizontal

This condition will be torque equilibrium position where the see saw will not rotate

Here we can say

$F_1 L_1 = F_2L_2$

here we know that force is due to weight of two friends

and their positions are different with respect to the lever about which see saw is rotating

since both friends are of different weight so they will balance themselves are different positions as per above equation

An office window has dimensions 3.1 m by 2.1 m. As a result of the passage of a storm, the outside air pressure drops to 0.954 a

Virty [35]

Answer:

Net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Dimension of the office window.

Length of the window = $3.1$ m

Width of the window = $2.1$ m

Area of the window = $(3.1\times 2.1) = 6.51\ m^2$

Difference in air pressure = Inside pressure - Outside pressure

= $(1.0-0.954)$ atm = $0.046$ atm

Conversion of the pressure in its SI unit.

⇒ $1$ atm = $101325$ Pa

⇒ $0.046$ atm = $0.046\times 101325 =4660.95$ Pa

We have to find the net force.

We know,

⇒ Pressure = Force/Area

⇒ $Pressure=\frac{Force }{Area}$

⇒ $Force =Pressure\times Area$

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ $Force =4660.95\times 6.51$

⇒ $Force=30342.78$ Newton (N)

So,

The net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.
