A dropped object only fall 5 meters down after 1 second of freefall, yet achieve a speed of 10m/s due to acceleration due to gravity.

s = vt - 1 / 2 at²

s = Displacement

v = Final velocity

t = Time

a = Acceleration

s = 5 m

t = 1 s

a = 10 m / s²

5 = ( v * 1 ) - ( 1 / 2 * 10 * 1 * 1 )

5 = v - 5

v = 10 m / s

The equation used to solve the given problem is an equation of motion. In a free fall motion, usually air resistance is not considered for easier calculation. If air resistance is considered acceleration cannot be constant throughout the entire motion.

Therefore, a dropped object only fall 5 meters down after 1 second of freefall, yet achieve a speed of 10m/s due to acceleration due to gravity.

For the equilibrium reaction N2O4(g) ⇀↽ 2 NO2(g) taking place inside a sealed container fitted with a piston, predict the effect
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

4. The equilibrium will shift to favor formation of NO2(g)

Explanation:

According to La Chatalier's Principle which states that when an equilibrium system undergoes changes either in temperature, volume or concentration; there will be in a change in the system in order to reach equilibrium.

From the above equation,

N2O4(g) ⇀↽ 2 NO2(g)

From the above reaction, there are 2 moles of gaseous product on the left and 1 mole of gaseous reactant.

Therefore, there are more moles of gases in the left hand side than the right hand side.

Because a decrease in volume favors the direction that produces fewer moles, an increase in volume will therefore shift this system towards the side with more moles of gases that is, more products are formed hence, this system will shift to right and produce more moles of products i.e more NO2(g) formed.

just olya [345]

Answer:

1.99 parsecs.

Explanation:

We have been given that the most recently discovered system close to Earth is a pair of brown dwarfs known as Luhman 16. It has a distance of 6.5 light-years.

We know that one light year equals to 0.306601 parsecs. To convert 6.5 light-years to parsecs, we will multiply 0.306601 by 6.5.

6.5\text{ Light-years}=6.5\times 0.306601\text{ Parsecs}

6.5\text{ Light-years}=1.9929065\text{ Parsecs}

6.5\text{ Light-years}\approx 1.99\text{ Parsecs}

Therefore, Luhman 16 is approximately 1.99 parsecs away from the Earth.

Answer pls!!
Greeley [361]

Explanation:

q= n e

6 × 10^-11 = n (1.6 × 10^-19)

n = 6×10^-11 / 1.6 × 10^-19

n= 3.75 × 10⁸ electrons

Please help me
Grace [21]

Answer:

a. 60 N*s

b. 60 (kg*m)/s

c. 3 m/s

Explanation:

Givens:

m = 20 kg

v_i = 0 m/s

t = 10 s

F = 6 N

a) Impulse:

I = F*t

I = 6 N*10 s

I = 60 N*s

b) Momentum:

p = v*m

F = m(a)

a = F/m

a = 6 N/20 kg

a = 0.3m/s^2

a = (v_f -v_i)/t

v_f = (0.3 m/s^2)*10 s

v_f = 3.0 m/s

p = 3 m/s*20 kg

p = 60 (kg*m)/s

c. Final velocity

a = (v_f -v_i)/t

v_f = (0.3 m/s^2)*10 s

v_f = 3.0 m/s
