Answer:

something that can be burned to produce heat

Explanation:

Combustion can be defined as an exothermic chemical reaction between physical substances, usually in the presence of oxygen and hydrocarbons to produce heat, light and carbon.

A fuel can be defined as something that can be burned to produce heat.

In the process of heat conduction, thermal energy is usually transferred from fast moving particles to slow moving particles during the collision of these particles. Also, thermal energy is typically transferred between objects that has different degrees of temperature and materials (particles) that are directly in contact with each other but differ in their ability to accept or give up electrons.

A car is traveling at 70 km/h. It then uniformly decelerates to a complete stop in 12 s. Find its acceleration ( in m/s2 ).

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Acceleration will be $-1.620m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given initial speed of the car is 70 km/hr

We know that 1 km = 1000 m

And 1 hour = 3600 sec

So $70km/hr=70\times \frac{1000m}{3600sec}=19.444m/sec$

It is given that car stops in 12 sec

So final speed of the car v = 0 m/sec

Time t = 12 sec

From first equation of motion v = u+at

So $0=19.444+a\times 12$

$a=\frac{-19.444}{12}=-1.620m/sec^2$ ( negative sign indicates that speed of the car will constantly decrease )

A 18Ω resistance is cut into three equal parts and connected in parallel. Find the equivalent resistance of the combination.

Andrew [12]

Answer:

2Ω

Explanation:

If a 18Ω resistance is cut into three equal parts each of the resistance will be 18Ω/3 = 6Ω

Equivalent ratio in parallel is expressed as:

1/R = 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6

1/R = 3/6

Cross multiply

3R = 6

R = 6/3

R = 2Ω

Hence the required equivalent resistance is 2Ω
