<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 9-μC positive point charge is located at the origin and a 6 μC positive point charge is located at x = 0.00 m, y = 1.0 m. Find
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The coordinates of the point is (0,0.55).

Explanation:

Given that,

First charge q_{1}=9\times10^{-6}\ C at origin

Second charge q_{2}=6\times10^{-6}\ C

Second charge at point P = (0,1)

We assume that,

The net electric field between the charges is zero at mid point.

Using formula of electric field

E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}

0=\dfrac{k\times9\times10^{-6}}{d^2}+\dfrac{k\times6\times10^{-6}}{(1-d)^2}

\dfrac{(1-d)}{d}=\sqrt{\dfrac{6}{9}}

\dfrac{1}{d}=\dfrac{\sqrt{6}}{3}+1

\dfrac{1}{d}=1.82

d=\dfrac{1}{1.82}

d=0.55\ m

Hence, The coordinates of the point is (0,0.55).

In a ballistics test, a 24 g bullet traveling horizontally at 1200 m/s goes through a 31-cm-thick 320 kg stationary target and e
Zanzabum

Answer:

The  velocity is  v_t  =  0.02175 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  mass of the bullet is  m_b  =  0.024 \  kg

    The initial speed of the bullet is  u_b  =  1200 \  m/s

   The mass of the target is  m_t  =  320 \  kg

    The  initial velocity of target is  u_t  =  0  \ m/s

    The  final velocity of the bullet is  is  v_b  =  910 \  m/s

   

Generally according to the law of momentum conservation we have that

      m_b *  u_b  +  m_t *  u_t  =  m_b *  v_b  +  m_t  *  v_t

=>   0.024  *  1200  +  320 *  0  =  0.024 *  910   +  320  *  v_t

=>    v_t  =  0.02175 \  m/s
