Answer:

Answer E.

For a collision to be completely elastic, there must be NO LOSS in kinetic energy.

We can go through each answer choice:

A. Since the ball rebounds at half the initial speed, there is a loss in kinetic energy. This is NOT an elastic collision.

B. A collision involving sticking is an example of a perfectly INELASTIC collision. This is NOT an elastic collision.

C. A reduced speed indicates that there is a loss of kinetic energy. This is NOT elastic.

D. The balls traveling at half the speed after the collision indicates a loss of kinetic energy, making this collision NOT elastic.

E. This collision indicates an exchange of velocities, characteristic of an elastic collision. We can prove this:

Let:

m = mass of each ball

v = velocity

We have the initial kinetic energy as:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + 0 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2KE=21mv2+0=21mv2

And the final as:

KE = 0 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2KE=0+21mv2=21mv2

In the equation CH4 + 2O2 --> 2H2O + CO2 What is the mass of CO2 produced when 35g of O2 reacts?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

24.06 g of CO₂

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

CH₄ + 2O₂ —> 2H₂O + CO₂

Next, we shall determine the mass of O₂ that reacted and the mass of CO₂ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of O₂ = 2 × 16 = 32 g/mol

Mass of O₂ from the balanced equation = 2 × 32 = 64 g

Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + (2×16)

= 12 + 32

= 44 g/mol

Mass of CO₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 44 = 44 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

64 g of O₂ reacted to produce 44 g of CO₂.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of CO₂ produced by the reaction of 35 g of O₂. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

64 g of O₂ reacted to produce 44 g of CO₂.

Therefore, 35 g of O₂ will react to produce = (35 × 44)/64 = 24.06 g of CO₂.

Thus, 24.06 g of CO₂ were produced from the reaction.

A scientist is breeding orange butterflies in the laboratory she notices a white butterfly in the latest generation of animals s
nevsk [136]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A gene mutation can be defined as a permanent change in the DNA sequence that composes a gene, resulting in the observation that the sequence differs from what is obtainable in most individuals that make up the  population. Mutations range from a change in a single DNA building block (change in the sequence of base pairs) to changes in a large segment of a chromosome that includes multiple genes.

Mutation in the color of the wings of the housefly can be passed on to the next generation. If this trait enhances survival of the butterflies, the orange winged butterflies will eventual become extinct and become entirely replaced by the white winged butterflies. This implies that gene pool has been completely modified.
