<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The ratio is 2:1

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>The reaction above is a combustion reaction where potassium metal reacts with oxygen to form potassium oxide</u></em>.
From the equation<em><u> 4 moles of potassium reacts with one mole of oxygen to form 2 moles of potassium oxide.</u></em> This is achieved by balancing the equation so as to obey the law of conservation of mass which requires the number of atoms of an element to be the same in either side of a chemical reaction.
Therefore, t<em><u>he ratio of atoms of potassium to the atoms of oxygen will be 4:2, which when simplified gives 2:1.</u></em>

Answer: The ratio of atoms of potassium to ratio of atoms of oxygen is 4:2

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed, and remains conserved. The mass of products must be same as that of the reactants.

Thus the number of atoms of each element must be same on both sides of the equation so as to keep the mass same and thus balanced chemical equations are written.

K exists as atoms and oxygen exist as molecule which consists of 2 atoms. The ratio of number of atoms on both sides of the reaction are same and thus the ratio of atoms of potassium to ratio of atoms of oxygen is 4:2.

A 6 kg box with initial speed 5 m/s slides across the floor and comes to a stop after 1.9 s. What is the coefficient of kinetic

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

$\mu_k=0.27$

Explanation:

According to the free body diagram, in this case, we have:

$\sum F_x:-F_k=ma\\\sum F_y:N=mg$

Recall that the force of friction is given by:

$F_k=\mu_k N$

Replacing and solving for the coefficient of kinetic friction:

$-\mu_kN=ma\\-\mu_k(mg)=ma\\\mu_k=-\frac{a}{g}$

We have an uniformly accelerated motion. Thus, the acceleration is defined as:

$a=\frac{v_f-v_0}{t}\\a=\frac{0-5\frac{m}{s}}{1.9s}\\a=-2.63\frac{m}{s^2}$

Finally, we calculate $\mu_k$ :

$\mu_k=-\frac{-2.63\frac{m}{s^2}}{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}\\\mu_k=0.27$

As a physics instructor hurries to the bus stop, her bus passes her, stops ahead, and begins loading passengers. She runs at 6.0

Alika [10]

velocity of the physics instructor with respect to bus

$v = 6 m/s$

acceleration of the bus is given as

$a = 2 m/s^2$

acceleration of instructor with respect to bus is given as

$a = -2 m/s^2$

now the maximum distance that instructor will move with respect to bus is given as

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$0 - 6^2 = 2(-2)(d)$

$-36 = - 4 d$

$d = 9 m$

so the position of the instructor with respect to door is exceed by

$\delta x = 9 - 6 = 3 m$

so it will be moved maximum by 3 m distance

If you are given the mass of an object in pounds, the time in seconds, and the distance in feet, what must you do before you can

Alexandra [31]

Answer: First you must convert pound in kilogram, and feet in meter

Explanation:

To calculate momentum we use .

p=m*V

mass-m

speed-V

distance and time are used to calculate velocity(speed)

You are given :

mass- in pounds

for distance - in feet

before you do any calculation first you have to convert pounds in kilograms

and feet in meters.

A typical wall outlet voltage is 120 volts in the United States. Personal MP3 players require much smaller voltages, typically 2

butalik [34]

Answer:

Number of turns in secondary will be 7

Explanation:

We have given primary voltage $V_p=120volt$

Number of turns in the primary is $N_p=3575$

Secondary voltage is given $V_s=235mV=0.235volt$

We have to find the number of turns in secondary

We know that $\frac{N_p}{N_s}=\frac{V_p}{V_s}$

So $\frac{3575}{N_s}=\frac{120}{0.235}$

$N_s=6.60$

As the number of turns can not be in decimal so number of turns will be 7
