Answer:

usualy heat moves upwards.

Explanation:

This is due to the fact that there is more empty space higher up, which means that molecules moving at high speeds have more room to move, because there are fewer molecules up there. In the (hence the name) THERMOsphere temperatures can reach 1600 *F I am pretty sure.

If electrical current is moving through a horizontal wire toward your face, what direction is the induced magnetic field?

adoni [48]

Answer:(b)

Explanation:

Given

Electric current flowing through the horizontal wire towards the observer's face.

The direction of the magnetic field is given by the right-hand thumb rule, i.e. place the thumb in the direction of current and the wrapping of fingers will give the direction of the magnetic field

the direction of the magnetic field will be counterclockwise as observed by an observer.

The first-order rearrangement of CH3NC is measured to have a rate constant of 3.61 × 10–15 s–1 at 298 K and a rate constant of 8

netineya [11]

Answer:

The activation energy for this reaction, Ea = 159.98 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Using the Arrhenius equation as:

$ln\frac {K_2}{K_1}=-\frac {E_a}{R}\times (\frac {1}{T_2}-\frac {1}{T_1})$

Where, Ea is the activation energy.

R is the gas constant having value 8.314 J/K.mol

K₂ and K₁ are the rate constants

T₂ and T₁ are the temperature values in kelvin.

Given:

K₂ = 8.66×10⁻⁷ s⁻¹ , T₂ = 425 K

K₁ = 3.61×10⁻¹⁵ s⁻¹ , T₁ = 298 K

Applying in the equation as:

$ln\frac {8.66\times 10^{-7}}{3.61\times 10^{-15}}=-\frac {E_a}{8.314}\times (\frac {1}{425}-\frac {1}{298})$

Solving for Ea as:

Ea = 159982.23 J /mol

1 J/mol = 10⁻³ kJ/mol

Ea = 159.98 kJ/mol

Why was the concern over global cooling replaced with a concern over global warming?

velikii [3]

<span>During 1970s, same observations were seen as what we have observed today pertaining to our climate. Journals were discussing that there would be warming because of greenhouse gases emissions. Also, it was observed between the years 1970 to 1990 that there was a steady surface temperature increase. Due to this, people are now fixated with global warming rather than on global cooling.</span>

A scaffold of mass 77 kg and length 5.0 m is supported in a horizontal position by a vertical cable at each end. A window washer

Lynna [10]

Answer:

A) T2 = 912.88 N

B) T1 = 607.12 N

Explanation:

First of all, we see that the sum of the tensions is equal to the total weight.

Now, for the scaffold, weight; W_s = 77 x 9.8 = 755.6 N

For the window washer, Weight; W_w = 78 x 9.8 = 764.4 N

Total weight;W_t = W_s + W_w

W_t = 755.6 N + 764.4 N = 1520 N

Thus,

T1 + T2 = 1520

Where T1 and T2 are the tensions in farther and nearer cables respectively.

Now, we need to do a torque problem.

The window washer is 1.8m from the right end of the scaffold and so the weight of the scaffold is at its center. This is 2.5 m from either end. Let the pivot point be at right end of the scaffold.

For the window washer, counter clockwise torque = 764.4 x 1.5 = 1146.6 N.m

For the scaffold, counter clockwise torque = 755.6 x 2.5 = 1889 N.m

Total Torque; T = 1146.6 + 1889 = 3035.6 N.m

For the cable at the left end of the cable, clockwise torque = T1 x 5

Set this equal to the total counter clockwise torque and solve for T1.

Thus,

T1 x 5 = 3035.6

T1 = 3035.6 ÷ 5 = 607.12 N

T2 = 1520 – 607.12 = 912.88 N
