<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 train 471 m long is moving on a straight track with a speed of 75.1 km/h. The engineer applies the brakes at a crossing, and l

hram777 [196]

Answer:

$t = 37.6 s$

Explanation:

As we know that train is initially moving with the speed

$v_i = 75.1 km/h$

now we know that

$v_i = 20.86 m/s$

now the final speed of the train when it crossed the crossing

$v_f = 15 km/h$

$v_f = 4.17 m/s$

now we can use kinematics here

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

$4.17^2 - 20.86^2 = 2 a(471)$

$a = -0.44 m/s^2$

Now the time to cross that junction is given as

$v_f - v_i = at$

$4.17 - 20.86 = a(-0.44)$

$t = 37.6 s$

Sometimes students are taught that "air expands as it is heated". And sometimes they are taught that "as air expands it cools".

hram777 [196]

Answer:

Both are true under specific circumstances. And are related to Boyle's law. volume and pressure in a gas are inversely proportional.

Explanation:

There is a tendency to entropy in our reality, that is, in particular true and visible with gases, they tend to occupy the whole space where they are confined, when we heat a volume of gas, then the movement of the particles and in consequence the pressure of the gas increases and to compensate this the volume tends to be increased too, according to Boyle's law. And the opposite happens when the volume is increased, then the pressure is relieved and since the particles are further one from each other, then the temperature is lower, and therefore it cools down.

Review. A light spring of force constant 3.85 N/m is compressed by 8.00 cm and held between a 0.250-kg block on the left and a 0

The answer is 0.245N.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

A particle or an item that is in motion has a sort of energy called kinetic energy. An item accumulates kinetic energy when work, which involves the transfer of energy, is done on it by exerting a net force.
Kinetic energy comes in five forms: radiant, thermal, acoustic, electrical, and mechanical.
The energy of a body in motion, or kinetic energy (KE), is essentially the energy of all moving objects. Along with potential energy, which is the stored energy present in objects at rest, it is one of the two primary types of energy.
Explain that a moving object's mass and speed are two factors that impact the amount of kinetic energy it will possess.

(b) 0.100

For the block on the left, $f_{k} =u_{k} n= 0.100(2.45N)=0.245N.$

∑ $F_{x}$ = $ma_{x}$

–0.308N+0.245N=(0.250kg)a

a=−0.252 $m/s^{2}$ if the force of static friction is not too large.

For the block on the right, $f_{k}$ = $u_{k} n$ =0.490N. The maximum force of static friction would be larger, so no motion would begin, and the acceleration is zero
