Sorry I didn't see this before...
Okay, I see two major problems with this student's experiment:
1) Nitric acid Won't Dissolve in Methane
Nitric acid is what's called a mineral acid. That means it is inorganic (it doesn't contain carbon) and dissolves in water.
Methane is an organic molecule (it contains carbon). It literally cannot dissolve nitric acid. Here's why:
For nitric acid (HNO3) to dissolve into a solvent, that solvent must be polar. It must have a charge to pull the positively charged Hydrogen off of the Oxygen. Methane has no charge, since its carbon and hydrogens have nearly perfect covalent bonds. Thus it cannot dissolve nitric acid. There will be no solution. That leads to the next problem:
2) He's Not actually Measuring a Solution
He's picking up the pH of the pure nitric acid. Since it didn't dissolve, what's left isn't a solution—it's like mixing oil and water. He has groups of methane and groups of nitric acid. Since methane is perfectly neutral (neither acid nor base), the electronic instrument is only picking up the extremely acidic nitric acid. There's no point to what he's doing.
Does that help?
Answer:
3.6 miles at 56.3 degrees north of east.
Explanation:
If you draw a diagram to calculate Jimmy's displacement, you end up with a triangle.
To solve for the magnitude of Jimmy's displacement with respect to his original position, we need to use the <u>Pythagorean Theorem</u> formula.
Pythagorean Theorem Formula = a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Step by Step to solve for the magnitude of Jimmy's displacement:
1) a^2 + b^2 = c^2
2) 2.0^2 + 3^2 = c^2
3) 4 + 9 = c^2
4) 13 = c^2
5) To find what "c" equals to we need to find the square root of 13.
6) √13 = 3.6 | c = 3.6 miles
To solve for the direction of Jimmy's displacement with respect to his original position, we need to use the following formula:
tan^-1 ∅ (3/2)
tan^-1 ∅ (1.5)
∅ = 56.309° north of east
Therefore, your answer is 3.6 miles at 56.3 degrees north of east.
Electric and magnetic field vectors are perpindicalar to each other in a electromagnetic wave. Passing stay current through a straight conductor shows some magnetic flux.
Answer:
1.49 m/s
Explanation:
The average speed is:
Where v is speed, s is distance and t is time. We are given with a distance of 18 km and time is 3.36 hours.
We'll be converting from km to meters and hours to seconds as standard unit for speed is m/s.
To convert the unit from kilometer to meter, we know that 1 kilometer equals to 1000 meters. Therefore, 18 kilometers will equal to 1000 * 18 meters which will equal to 18000 meters total.
To convert from hour to second, we know that 1 hour equals to 60 minutes. Therefore, 3.36 hours will equal to 60 * 3.36 = 201.6 minutes.
A minute equals to 60 seconds. Therefore, 201.6 minutes equal to 60 * 201.6 = 12096 seconds.
Finally, we have units in meter and second. We'll be able to calculate for average speed now by applying the formula above:
Therefore, Serina's average speed will be around 1.49 m/s
