Answer:

c. may be accompanied by the sound of explosively expanding hot air, called thunder.

Explanation:

Lightning is a discharge which is due to the reaction between oppositely charged charges in the clouds, or between clouds base and the Earth surface.

The motion of the cloud causes charging of clouds by friction, thus the reaction between opposite charges (jumping of charges from one cloud to another) in the cloud can lead to lightning. Also, oftentimes the bottom of a cloud is negatively charged so that this is attracted to the positive charge on the earth surface. Thus leading to a discharge called lightning.

Thus in the given question, the appropriate option is C. This implies that, lightning may be accompanied by the sound of explosively expanding hot air, called thunder.

Is your increase in gravitational potential energy the same in both cases? When Climbing a mountain on a zigzag path and on a st
baherus [9]

Answer:

The increase in gravitational potential energy is the same in both cases

Explanation:

It is easier to climb a mountain in a zigzag way rather than climbing on a straight line but since the distance is the same ( vertical height ) , mass and gravity is the same. Hence the increase in gravitational potential energy is the same in both cases.

gravitational potential energy = mgh ( same in both cases )

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = distance ( vertical height )

Suppose a light source is emitting red light at a wavelength of 700 nm and another light source is emitting ultraviolet light at
klasskru [66]

Answer:

b) twice the energy of each photon of the red light.

Explanation:

\lambda = Wavelength

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Energy of a photon is given by

E=h\nu\\\Rightarrow E=h\dfrac{c}{\lambda}

Let \lambda_1 = 700 nm

\lambda_2=350\\\Rightarrow \lambda_2=\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}

For red light

E_1=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda_1}

For UV light

E_2=\dfrac{hc}{\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}}

Dividing the equations

\dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{hc}{\lambda_1}}{\dfrac{hc}{\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow E_2=2E_1

Hence, the answer is  b) twice the energy of each photon of the red light.

A solution is prepared by dissolving 17.75 g sulfuric acid, h2so4, in enough water to make 100.0 ml of solution. if the density
Yuliya22 [10]

The solution of Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) has the following mole fractions:

  • mole fraction (H2SO4)= 0.034
  • mole fraction (H2O)= 0.966

To solve this problem the formula and the procedure that we have to use is:

  • n = m / MW
  • = ∑ AWT
  • mole fraction = moles of A component / total moles of solution
  • ρ = m /v

Where:

  • m = mass
  • n = moles
  • MW = molecular weight
  • AWT = atomic weight
  • ρ = density
  • v = volume

Information about the problem:

  • m solute (H2SO4) = 17.75 g
  • v(solution) = 100 ml
  • ρ (solution)= 1.094 g/ml
  • AWT (H)= 1 g/mol
  • AWT (S) = 32 g/mol
  • AWT (O)= 16 g/mol
  • mole fraction(H2SO4) = ?
  • mole fraction(H2O) = ?

We calculate the moles of the H2SO4 and of the H2O from the Pm:

MW = ∑ AWT

MW (H2SO4)= AWT (H) * 2 + AWT (S) + AWT (O) * 4

MW (H2SO4)= (1 g/mol * 2) + (32,064 g/mol) + (16 g/mol * 4)

MW (H2SO4)= 2 g/mol + 32 g/mol + 64 g/mol

MW (H2SO4)=  98 g/mol

MW (H2O)= AWT (H) * 2 + AWT (O)

MW (H2O)= (1 g/mol * 2) + (16 g/mol)

MW (H2O)= 2 g/mol + 16 g/mol

MW (H2O)=  18 g/mol

Having the Pm we calculate the moles of H2SO4:

n = m / MW

n(H2SO4) = m(H2SO4) / MW (H2SO4)

n(H2SO4) = 17.75 g / 98 g/mol

n(H2SO4) = 0.1811 mol

With the density and the volume of the solution we get the mass:

ρ(solution)= m(solution) /v(solution)

m(solution) = v(solution) * ρ(solution)

m(solution) = 100 ml * 1.094 g/ml

m(solution) = 109.4 g

Having the mass of the solution we calculate the mass of the water in the solution:

m(H2O) = m(solution) - m solute (H2SO4)

m(H2O) = 109.4 g - 17.75 g

m(H2O) = 91.65 g

We calculate the moles of H2O:

n = m / MW

n(H2O) = m(H2O) / MW (H2O)

n(H2O) = 91.65 g / 18 g/mol

n(H2O) = 5.092  mol

We calculate the total moles of solution:

total moles of solution = n(H2SO4) + n(H2O)

total moles of solution = 0.1811 mol + 5.092  mol

total moles of solution = 5.2731 mol

With the moles of solution we can calculate the mole fraction of each component:

mole fraction (H2SO4)= moles of (H2SO4) / total moles of solution

mole fraction (H2SO4)= 0.1811 mol / 5.2731 mol

mole fraction (H2SO4)= 0.034

mole fraction (H2O)= moles of (H2O) / total moles of solution

mole fraction (H2O)= 5.092  mol / 5.2731 mol

mole fraction (H2O)= 0.966

<h3>What is a solution?</h3>

In chemistry a solution is known as a homogeneous mixture of two or more components called:

  • Solvent
  • Solute

5.An ice skater pushes against a wall with a force of 59 N. Ignoring friction, if the ice skater has
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

<em>Answer: (A) 0.75 m/s^2</em>

Explanation:

The Second Newton's law states that an object acquires acceleration when an external unbalanced net force is applied to it.

That acceleration is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

It can be expressed with the formula:

\displaystyle a=\frac{F_n}{m}

Where

Fn = Net force

m  = mass

The ice skater pushes against a wall with a force of 59 N. The wall returns the force and the skater now has a net force of Fn=59 N that makes him accelerate. Being m=79 kg the mass of the skater, the acceleration is:

\displaystyle a=\frac{59}{79}

a = 0.75\ m/s^2

Answer: (A) 0.75 m/s^2
