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

A thermometer containing 0.10 g of mercury is cooled from 15 degrees celsius to 8.5 degrees celcius. How much energy left the me

loris [4]

To solve this exercise we will use the concept related to heat loss which is mathematically given as

$Q = mC_p \Delta T$

Where,

m = mass

$C_p$ = Specific Heat

$\Delta T =$ Change in temperature

Replacing with our values we have that

$m = 0.1g$

$C_p = 139J/Kg\cdot K \rightarrow$ Specific heat of mercury

$\Delta T = 8.5\°C-15\°C = -6.5\°C \Rightarrow -6.5K$

Replacing

$Q = (0.1*10^3)(138)(-6.5)\\Q = -0.09J$

Therefore the heat lost by mercury is 0.09J

the gasoline in a car does 40000 j of work on a car and generates a constant force of 20 n. how far did the car go?

NikAS [45]

   Work = (force) x (distance)

   40,000 J = (20 N) x (distance)

   Distance = (40,000 J) / (20 N)

=    2,000 meters

= 2 kilometers.

(20 N is not a huge force when it's being used to move a car.
It's only about 4.5 pounds.)

A motorcycle together with its Rider with 150 kg how much work is needed to set its movement at 15 metre per second.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

W = 16875 J

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a motorcycle together with its rider is 150 kg

It is required to find the work is needed to set its movement at 15 metre per second. The work done is given by :

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Plugging all the values in above formula such that :

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 150\times (15)^2\\\\W=16875\ J$

So, the work of 16875 J is needed.
