Answer:

It is due to their structure

Explanation:

Some molecules have the exact same molecular formula but when you look at them you can see that they are shaped differently,

An example being coal and diamond, both are made of pure carbon but the reason why diamond is so much stronger than coal is because of its lattice structure.

So, basically, it might have different quantities, such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO), which are both made up of Carbon and Oxygen, but Carbon Monoxide has less oxygen. And they both have different properties, like CO is poisonous.

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two identical ions that are separated by a distance of 5.0A is 3.7×10^-9N.a) wh

jeyben [28]

Explanation:

Given that,

Electrostatic force, $F=3.7\times 10^{-9}\ N$

Distance, $r=5\ A=5\times 10^{-10}\ m$

(a) $F=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}$ , q is the charge on the ion

$q=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr^2}{k}}$

$q=\sqrt{\dfrac{3.7\times 10^{-9}\times (5\times 10^{-10})^2}{9\times 10^9}}$

$q=3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C$

(b) Let n is the number of electrons are missing from each ion. It can be calculated as :

$n=\dfrac{q}{e}$

$n=\dfrac{3.2\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

n = 2

Hence, this is the required solution.

A truck travels 1430 m uphill along a road that makes a constant angle of 5.76◦ with the horizontal.

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The horizontal component of displacement is d' = 1422.7 m

Explanation:

Given data,

The distance covered by the truck, d = 1430 m

The angle formed with the horizontal, Ф = 5.76°

The displacement is a vector quantity.

The horizontal component of displacement is given by,

d' = d cos Ф

= 1430 cos 5.76°

= 1422.7 m

Hence, the horizontal component of displacement is d' = 1422.7 m

Reika [66]

Answer:

The boats are 934.65 feet apart

Explanation:

Given:

The angles of depression to the two boats are 42 degrees and 29 degrees

Height of the observation deck i = 1,353 feet

To Find:

How far apart are the boats (y )= ?

Solution:

Step 1 : Finding the value of x(Refer the figure attached)

We can use the tangent ratio to find the x value

$tan(42^{\circ}) = \frac{1353}{x}$

$x = \frac{1353}{tan(42^{\circ}) }$

x = 590.47 feet

Step 2 : Finding the value of z (Refer the figure attached)

$tan(29^{\circ}) = \frac{1353}{z }$

$z = \frac{1353}{tan(29^{\circ})}$

z = 1525.12 feet

Step 3 : Finding the value of y (Refer the figure attached)

y = z -x

y = 1525.12 - 590.47

y = 934.65 feet

Thus the two boats are 934.65 feet apart

Using a horizontal force of 200 n, we intend to move a wooden cabinet across a floor at a constant velocity. What is the frictio

grin007 [14]

By using the second law of Newton, the frictional force is 200N.

We need to know about the second law of Newton (force) to solve this problem. The total force applied an object is proportional to the mass of object and acceleration. It can be defined as

∑F = m . a

where F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration.

From the question above, we know that

F1 = 200N

v = constant therefore (a = 0 m/s²)

By using second law of Newton, we get

∑F = m . a

F1 - Ffriction = m . 0

200 - Ffriction = 0

Ffriction = 200 N

Hence, the frictional force is 200N.
