Answer:

Limewater can be used to detect carbon dioxide. If carbon dioxide is bubbled through limewater then it turns from clear to cloudy/milky in colour. This is why limewater used in a simple respirometer can show that more carbon dioxide is present in exhaled air compared to inhaled air.

Answer:

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is colorless and odorless, so you can't detect it through direct observation. You'll need to collect an air sample (or a CO 2 sample), then run one of several simple tests to identify the presence of the gas

What are the differences between the practical and the ideal pendulum

ankoles [38]

lf a heavy point mass is suspended by a weightless, inextensible and perfectly flexible string from a rigid support, then this arrangement is called simple pendulum.

In practice, however, these requirements cannot be fulfilled. So we use a practical pendulum.

A practical pendulum consists of a small metallic solid sphere suspended by a fine silk thread from a rigid support. This is the practical simple pendulum which is nearest to the ideal simple pendulum.

Note :

The metallic sphere is called the bob.

When the bob is displaced slightly to one side from its mean position and released, it oscillates about its mean position in a vertical plane.

In the context of energy transfers with hot and cold reservoirs, the sign convention is that _______________.

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

B. QC > 0; QH < 0

Explanation:

Given that there are two reservoir of energy.

Sign convention for heat and work :

1.If the heat is adding to the system then it is taken as positive and if heat is going out from the system then it is taken as negative.

2. If the work is done on the system then it is taken as negative and if the work is done by the system then it is taken as positive.

From hot reservoir heat is going out that is why it is taken as negative

$Q_H$

From cold reservoir heat is coming inside the reservoir that is why it is taken as positive

$Q_C>0$

That is why the answer will be

$Q_H$ , $Q_C>0$

Why a small car can stop easier than an 18 wheeler while traveling at 70 mph down the interstate?

almond37 [142]

Smaller cars have less momentum than bigger cars. What’s in motion stays in motion but objects with more momentum (can be from weight or from speed but in this case it’s about weight) tend to stay in motion longer.

A laser beam is incident on two slits with a separation of 0.195 mm, and a screen is placed 5.30 m from the slits. If the bright

kumpel [21]

Answer:

λ = 596 nm.

Explanation:

Fringe width = λ D / d

λ is wave length , D is screen distance and d is slit separation.

Putting the values

1.62 x 10⁻² =( λ x 5.3 ) / .195 x 10⁻³

$\lambda=\frac{1.62\times10^{-2}\times195\times10^{-6}}{5.3}$

λ = 596 nm.
