A) Energy is absorbed in the reaction.
Such reactions are called endothermic reactions.
Distance = (speed) x (time)
Distance = (20 m/s) x (500 s)
Distance = (20 x 500) (m·s / s)
Distance = 10,000 m
A transformer is used to increase or decrease a voltage. BUT ... it has to be an AC voltage, or the transformer doesn't work.
