A student is conducting an experiment that involves adding hydrochloric acid to various minerals to detect if they have carbonates in them. The student holds a mineral up and adds hydrochloric acid to it. The acid runs down the side and onto the student’s hand causing irritation and a minor burn. If they had done a risk assessment first, how would this situation be different?

If the speed of a particle triples ,by what factor does its kinetic energy increase?

Air is to be preheated by hot exhaust gases in a cross-flow heat exchanger before it enters the furnace. air enters the heat exchanger at 95 kpa and 20°c at a rate of 0.6 m^3/s. the combustion gases (cp = 1.10 kj/kg°c) enter at 160°c at a rate of 0.95 kg/s and leave at 95°c. determine the rate of heat transfer to the air and its outlet temperature.

Agroup of students were investigating the force of gravity. they began by dropping a foam ball from a height of 3 meters into a bucket of sand. the ball hit the sand in 0.306 seconds. they dropped additional balls of approximately the same diameter, but of different masses. here is the data they collected. based on this experiment and the collected data, what would their conclusion be?
