A lighthouse is located on a small island 5 km away from the nearest point p on a straight shoreline and its light makes two rev

olutions per minute. how fast is the beam of light moving along the shoreline when it is 1 km from p? (round your answer to one decimal place.)

The distance starting from the point to the lighthouse would be regarded as the hypotenuse.

And also will be the radius of the circle the beam of light is generating at that point. 


So get the radius first

r = sqrt (1^2 + 5^2)

r = 5.099 km


find the circumference:

C = 2*pi * 5.099 km

C = 2 * 16.01898094

C = 32.04 km


Then find the speed in km/sec

One revolution: 60/2 = 30 sec per revolution

Speed = 32.04 km/30 sec

S = 1.068 km/sec is the speed of light

A scuba diver's tank contains 0.240 kg of o2 compressed into a volume of 3.10 l. what volume (in liters) would this oxygen occup
ohaa [14]
Given:
m = 0.240 kg = 240 g, the mass of O₂
V = 3.10 L = 3.10 x 10⁻³ m³, the volume

Because the molar mass of oxygen is 16, the number of moles of O₂ is
n = (240 g)/(2*16 g/mol) =  7.5 mol

As an ideal gas,
p*V = nRT
or
V = (nRT)/p
where R = 8.314 J/(mol-K)

When
p = 0.910 atm = (0.910 atm) * (101325Pa/atm) = 92205.75 Pa
T = 27 °C = (27 + 273) K = 300 K
then the volume is
V= \frac{(7.5 \, mol)*(8.314 \, J/(mol-K))*(300 \, K)}{(92205.75 \, Pa)} =0.2029 \, m^{3}

V = (0.2029 m³)*(10³ L/m³) = 202.9 L

Answer: 203 liters

IN THIS FORMULA FOR WATER WHAT DOES THE SUBSCRIPT 2 INDICATE
masha68 [24]
The chemical formular for water is H2O.
The H aspect of the formula stands for hydrogen gas and the subscript 2 which is attached to the H symbol signifies that two atoms of hydrogen are joined together, that is two atom of hydrogen are present.
The chemical formula of water indicates that, two atom of hydrogen react with one atom of oxygen to form one molecule of water.
In chemical formulae, subscripts are normally used to indicate the number of atoms that are present in a molecule.
