Answer:

C) It will accelerate.  

Explanation:

According to Newton’s second law of motion, when an object is acted on by an unbalanced force, it will accelerate.

An unbalanced force will change the speed or direction (or both) of an object. A change in speed and/or direction is acceleration.

A) is wrong. The object will stop moving only if there is a balanced force in the opposite direction.

B) is wrong. The object will decrease speed only if the unbalanced force has a component opposite to the direction of motion.

d) is wrong. The object will increase speed only if the unbalanced force has a component in the direction of motion.

Mature elephants consume an average of 600 pounds of food per day. If an elephant
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{4 600 000 kg or 4600 Mg}}

Explanation:

1. Calculate the adult life

If the elephant is an adult from its 10th birthday until the day before its 56th birthday, its  

Adult life = 55 - 10 + 1 = 46 yr

2. Convert years to days

\text{Adult life} = \text{46 yr} \times \dfrac{\text{365.25 da}}{\text{1 yr}} = \text{16 800 da}

3. Convert days to pounds of feed

\text{Feed} = \text{16 800 da} \times \dfrac{\text{600 lb}}{\text{1 da}} = 1.01 \times 10^{7} \text{ lb}

4. Convert pounds to kilograms and megagrams

\text{Feed} =1.01 \times 10^{7} \text{ lb} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg}}{\text{2.20 lb}} =\textbf{4 600 000 kg} = \textbf{4600 Mg}\\\\\text{The elephant will eat $\large \boxed{\textbf{4 600 000 kg or 4600 Mg}}$ of food.}

Note: The answer can have only two significant figures because that is all you gave for age of the elephant.

What are the resulting coefficients when you balance the chemical equation for the combustion of ethane, c2h6? in this reaction,
Vitek1552 [10]

Balance equation for combustion of ethane will be:

2C₂H₆(g) + 7O₂(g)--------> 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)

To balance the equation:

1. Balance the number of carbon atom on both side:

C₂H₆(g) + O₂(g)--------> CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

1. balance the number of carbon on both side, as in reactant there are 2 but in product one,

so , multiply the CO₂, by 2 in the product.

2. Balance the number of hydrogen on both side as in reactant the number of hydrogen is 3 but in product it is 6 so, multiplythe number of  H₂O by 3,

so multiply the number of  H₂O by 3 in product.

3. Balance the number of oxygen on both side , as 1 and 2 step increases the number of oxygen and it becomes 7 , so to balance the number of oxygen on both side by mutiplying the  number of  O₂ by 7/2 in reactant .

4. Now, doubling the equation will give balance equation that is:

2C₂H₆(g) + 7O₂(g)--------> 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)

A lead ball is added to a graduated cylinder containing 50.6 ml of water, causing the level of the water to increase to 93.0 mL.
Kamila [148]

42.4 ml is the volume in milliliters of the lead ball if a lead ball is added to a graduated cylinder containing 50.6 ml of water.

<h3>What is a graduated cylinder?</h3>

A tall narrow container with a volume scale is used especially for measuring liquids.

The graduated cylinder contains water

mL is a volume unit.

Water volume = 50.6 ml

The lead ball caused an increase in volume from 50.6 ml to 93.0 mL.

The new volume is the lead ball volume plus the original water volume :

Final volume = Vlead ball+ Water original volume

93.0 mL= V_(lead ball) +50.6 ml

V_(lead ball) = 93.0 mL - 50.6 ml

V_(lead ball) = 42.4 ml

Hence, 42.4 ml is the volume in milliliters of the lead ball.
