Hello!

Some benefits of using nitrous oxide in a vehicle are as follows:

* N2O produces a larger combustion and thus fuels the car for longer periods of time.

* N2O is comparatively inexpensive for what its worth.

* N2O, under certain circumstances, is safer than other alternative sources of fuel because it's not flammable.

Some disadvantages of using nitrous oxide in a vehicle are as follows:

* Since N2O is a gas, it takes up a lot of empty space and can't be stored in large amounts.

* It can occasionally blow up, even though it almost never does.

I hope I helped! :-)

Of the colors on the visible light spectrum, which one has the longest wavelength, lowest frequency, and lowest energy?

Elenna [48]

Answer:

Red

Explanation:

Violet - shortest wavelength, around 400-420 nanometers with highest frequency. They carry the most energy.

Indigo - 420 - 440 nm

Blue - 440 - 490 nm

Green - 490 - 570 nm

Yellow - 570 - 585 nm

Orange - 585 - 620 nm

Red - longest wavelength, at around 620 - 780 nanometers with lowest frequency and least amount of energy

Therefore, red is the answer you're looking for.

I hope this helps and that you have a great day! :)

What is force? Why?

larisa [96]

In physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity.

Answer : The time passed in years is $2.74\times 10^2\text{ years}$

Explanation :

Half-life of carbon-14 = 5730 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac{0.693}{5730\text{ years}}$

$k=1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{ years}^{-1}$

Now we have to calculate the time passed.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{ years}^{-1}$

t = time passed by the sample = ?

a = initial amount of the reactant disintegrate = 15.3

a - x = amount left after decay process = 14.8

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

$t=\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{15.3}{14.8}$

$t=274.64\text{ years}=2.74\times 10^2\text{ years}$

Therefore, the time passed in years is $2.74\times 10^2\text{ years}$

What is absolute zero? A) The temperature at which the particles of matter are at their lowest energy points. B) The temperature

Alja [10]

Answer:

A) The temperature at which the particles of matter are at their lowest energy points.

Explanation:

Absolute temperature refers to the lowest possible temperature. At this state, no heat energy remains in the substance; the energy of the particles are at their lowest energy points.
