<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>).

You serve a volleyball with a mass of 2.1 kg. The ball leaves your hand with a speed of 30 m/s. The ball has—— energy. Calculate

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

945 j

Explanation:

You have just given the ball kinetic energy, which is given by the following equation:

KE= 1⁄2 m v2 = 1⁄2 (2.1 kg)(30 m/s)2 = 945 Joules

Say that you are in a large room at temperature TC = 300 K. Someone gives you a pot of hot soup at a temperature of TH = 340 K.

DiKsa [7]

Answer:0.061

Explanation:

Given

$T_C=300 k$

Temperature of soup $T_H=340 K$

heat capacity of soup $c_v=33 J/K$

Here Temperature of soup is constantly decreasing

suppose T is the temperature of soup at any instant

efficiency is given by

$\eta =\frac{dW}{Q}=1-\frac{T_C}{T}$

$dW=Q(1-\frac{T_C}{T})$

$dW=c_v(1-\frac{T_C}{T})dT$

integrating From $T_H$ to $T_C$

$\int dW=\int_{T_C}^{T_H}c_v(1-\frac{T_C}{T})dT$

$W=\int_{T_C}^{T_H}33\cdot (1-\frac{300}{T})dT$

$W=c_v\left [ T-T_C\ln T\right ]_{T_H}^{T_C}$

$W=c_v\left [ \left ( T_C-T_H\right )-T_C\left ( \ln \frac{T_C}{T_H}\right )\right ]$

Now heat lost by soup is given by

$Q=c_v(T_C-T_H)$

Fraction of the total heat that is lost by the soup can be turned is given by

$=\frac{W}{Q}$

$=\frac{c_v\left [ \left ( T_C-T_H\right )-T_C\left ( \ln \frac{T_C}{T_H}\right )\right ]}{c_v(T_C-T_H)}$

$=\frac{T_C-T_H-T_C\ln (\frac{T_C}{T_H})}{T_C-T_H}$

$=\frac{300-340-300\ln (\frac{300}{340})}{300-340}$

$=\frac{-40+37.548}{-40}$

$=0.061$

Consider a block on frictionless ice. Starting from rest, the block travels a distance din

sweet [91]

Answer:

<em>The distance is now 4d</em>

Explanation:

<u>Mechanical Force</u>

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:

F = m.a

Where a is the acceleration of the object.

The acceleration can be calculated by solving for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{F}{m}$

Once we know the acceleration, we can calculate the distance traveled by the block as follows:

$\displaystyle d = vo.t+\frac{at^2}{2}$

If the block starts from rest, vo=0:

$\displaystyle d = \frac{at^2}{2}$

Substituting the value of the acceleration:

$\displaystyle d = \frac{\frac{F}{m}t^2}{2}$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle d = \frac{Ft^2}{2m}$

When a force F'=4F is applied and assuming the mass is the same, the new acceleration is:

$\displaystyle a'=\frac{4F}{m}$

And the distance is now:

$\displaystyle d' = \frac{4Ft^2}{2m}$

Dividing d'/d:

$\displaystyle \frac{d' }{d}=\frac{\frac{4Ft^2}{2m}}{\frac{Ft^2}{2m}}$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle \frac{d' }{d}=4$

Thus:

d' = 4d

The distance is now 4d

Solutions with ions that react with acids or bases to lessen their effects are fubrefs

Softa [21]

Answer:

Buffers

Explanation:

A buffer solution is a solution containing weak acids and their salts or weak bases and their salts.

A buffer solution is an equilibrium system that resists changes in pH or pOH when a small amount of an acid or base is added hence it is a solution of fairly constant pH value.
