If a body with a mass of 4 kg is moved by a force of 20 N, what’s is the rate of acceleration ?

kaheart [24]

Answer:

The rate of acceleration is 5.

Explanation:

In order to calculate acceleration we need to divide the force by the mass.

Acceleration = net force/mass

In this case, it would be 20/4. Simplify that and we get 5.

Hydrocarbons, compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen, are important in fuels.The heat of combustion of cyclopentane, C5H1

shtirl [24]

Answer : The balanced equation for the complete combustion of cyclopentane will be :

$2C_5H_{10}+15O_2\rightarrow 10CO_2+10H_2O$

Explanation :

As we know that the hydrocarbons can undergo complete or incomplete combustion that depends on the amount of oxygen available.

Complete combustion : It takes place when there is a good supply of oxygen. In this, hydrocarbon react with the oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water as a product.

The general reaction will be :

$\text{Hydrocarbon}+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

Incomplete combustion : It takes place when there is a poor supply of oxygen. In this, hydrocarbon react with the oxygen to give carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and water as a product.

The general reaction will be :

$\text{Hydrocarbon}+O_2\text{(limited)}\rightarrow CO+CO_2+H_2O$
