When an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually_____.

Physics
1 answer:
saw5 [17]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which heat or energy is released is known as an exothermic reaction.

On the other hand, when two objects are placed together and heat flows from hotter object to colder object then this process is known as conduction. Therefore, energy is dissipated in conduction process.

Since energy released released goes into the atmosphere and is not used anywhere.

Thus, we can conclude that when an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually not useable to do work and it is dissipated by conduction.

A fruit bat falls from the roof of a cave. We know that her potential energy was
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

v = 15.65 m/s

Explanation:

We use conservation of mechanical energy between initial (i) and final (f) states:

Pi + KEi = Pf + KEf

At the top of the cave at the instant the bat starts to fall, there is only potential energy since the bat's velocity is zero.

Pi = m g h = 600 J

and the KEi = 0 J (no velocity)

Knowing the height of the cave's roof (12.8 m) , we can find the mass of the bat:

m = 600 J / (g 12.5) = 4.9 kg

Using conservation of mechanical energy, the final state is:

Pf + KEf = 600 J

with Pf = 0 (just touching the ground)

KEf= 1/2  4.9 (v^2)

and we solve for the velocity:

600 J = 0 + 1/2  4.9 (v^2)

v^2 = 600 * 2 / 4.9 = 244.9

v = 15.65 m/s

B. Newton's First Law, I'm pretty sure. The first states that an object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest until an outside force is applied, and that seems pretty relevant.

Nucleus A decays into the stable nucleus B with a half-life of 22.07 s. At t=0 s there are 1,293 A nuclei and no B nuclei. At wh
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

29.38 seconds

Explanation:

Half life, T = 22.07 s

No = 1293

Let N be the number of atoms left after time t

N = 1293 - 779 = 514

By the use of law of radioactivity

N=N_{0}e^{-\lambda t}

Where, λ is the decay constant

λ = 0.6931 / T = 0.6931 / 22.07 = 0.0314 decay per second

so,

514=1293e^{-0.0314t}

2.5155=e^{0.0314t}

take natural log on both the sides

0.9225 = 0.0314 t

t = 29.38 seconds
