Answer:

Change in velocity and direction over a specific period of time.

Explanation:

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.

Hence, if we subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and divide that by the time, we can calculate the acceleration of an object.

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

$Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity - initial \; velocity}{time}$

$a = \frac{v - u}{t}$

Where,

a is acceleration measured in $ms^{-2}$

v and u is final and initial velocity respectively, measured in $ms^{-1}$

t is time measured in seconds.

Hence, the types of changes in motion that cause acceleration is a change in velocity and direction over a specific period of time.

When hydrogen is burned in the presence of oxygen it will form water as per the equation: 2h2

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

B. In the first case, a combination reaction takes place and in the second case, a decomposition reaction takes place.

Explanation:

When hydrogen burns in oxygen, water is formed and when water is electrolysed then hydrogen and oxygen are produced. What type of a reaction takes place?

(i) In the first case,

(ii) In the second case?

A. In both the cases, i.e. (i) and (ii), a combination reaction takes place.

B. In the first case, a combination reaction takes place and in the second case, a decomposition reaction takes place.

C. In the first case, a combination reaction takes place and in the second case, a displacement reaction takes place.

D. In the first case, a displacement reaction takes place and in the second case, a decomposition reaction takes place.

Answer :

Hint: When hydrogen burns in air, H2H2 reacts with O2O2 to form water molecules. Here two reactants combine to form a single product. And, when water is electrolysed into hydrogen and oxygen, here a single compound decomposes into more than one product.

Complete step by step answer:

In the First case:

When hydrogen burns in oxygen, water is formed.

Hydrogen + Oxygen = Water

2H2+O2→2H2O2H2+O2→2H2O

When two reactants elements combine to form a single component, then this reaction is called the combination reaction. So, in this case, two reactants i.e. Hydrogen and oxygen combine to form a single product i.e. water molecules and heat is also released.

In the Second case:

When water is electrolysed then hydrogen and oxygen are produced.

2H2O→2H2+O22H2O→2H2+O2

When a single reactant is decomposed or broken down into two or more products, it is known as decomposition reaction. Here, a single reactant i.e. water, breaks or decomposes up to form two or more simple products i.e. hydrogen and oxygen. This decomposition reaction takes place by the action of electricity. So, we can see that in the first case, a combination reaction takes place and in the second case, a decomposition reaction takes place.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (B).

Note: Hydrogen is combustible and it burns with a popping sound in oxygen with an almost colourless flame to form water molecules and release heat. This reaction is highly exothermic. Hydrogen must be handled very carefully as the mixture of hydrogen and oxygen can be explosive when two are present in a particular ratio.

Consider an object rolling off of your lab bench. Discuss how you might be able to make measure- ments to determine its initial

guapka [62]

Answer:

measure the position every so often with a stopwatch

Explanation:

A possible method of measurement is to place a measuring tape along the path and measure the position every so often with a stopwatch, with this we can make a graph of position against time and by extrapolation find the initial velocity.

This is a method used in measurements of uniform movements of bodies

1. A piece of metal weighs 50.0 N in air, 36.0 N in water, and 41.0 N in an unknown

denis23 [38]

Answer:

a) 3.37 x $10^{3} kg/m^3$

b) 6.42kg/ $m^{3}$

Explanation:

a) Firstly we would calculate the volume of the metal using it`s weight in air and water , after finding the weight we would find the density .

Weight of metal in air = 50N = mg implies the mass of metal is 5kg.

Now the difference of weight of the metal in air and water = upthrust acting on it = volume (metal) p (liquid) g = V (1000)(10) = 14N. So volume of metal piece = 14 x $10^{-4}$ $kg/m^{3}$ . So density of metal = mass of metal / volume of metal = 5 / 14 x $10^{-4}$ $kg/m^{3}$ = 3.37 x $10^{3} kg/m^3$

b) Water exerts a buoyant force to the metal which is 50−36 = 14N, which equals the weight of water displaced. The mass of water displaced is 14/10 = 1.4kg Since the density of water is 1kg/L, the volume displaced is 1.4L. Hence, we end up with 3.57kg/l. Moreover, the unknown liquid exerts a buoyant force of 9N. So the density of this liquid is 6.42kg/ $m^{3}$

Which of the following is NOT a property of long-period comets that suggests that they originate from the Oort cloud?

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

b. They orbit around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction, when viewed from above the ecliptic plane.

Explanation:

All the objects of the solar system revolve around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction. The comet coming from the Oort's cloud will also follow the same kind of orbit. That is why it can't be a property to distinguish an Oort's cloud comet.

All other properties are correct to identify an Oort's cloud comet as the Oort's cloud is a considered a spherical cloud just outside the Solar system.
