atomic mass of carbon is C = 12 g/mol

atomic mass of hydrogen is H = 1 g/mol

now number of carbon atoms

$N_c = \frac{120}{12} = 10$

Similarly the number of hydrogen atoms are

$N_H = \frac{30.3}{1} = 30$

so Carbon atom and hydrogen atom must be in ratio of 10:30

so the ratio is 1:3

now the empirical formula is always in simplest form

$CH_3$

A car travels 20 km South, then turns and travels 30 km East? What is the total displacement?

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Explanation:36.05 km

Given

First car travels $r_1=20\ km$ South

then turns and travels $r_2=30\ km$ east

Suppose south as negative y axis and east as positive x axis

So, $r_1=-20\hat{j}$

$r_2=30\hat{i}$

Displacement is the shortest between initial and final point

Dispalcement $=r=r_1+r_2$

Displacement $=-20\hat{j}+30\hat{i}$

Displacement $=30\hat{i}-20\hat{j}$

Magnitude $=\sqrt{30^2+(-20)^2}$

Magnitude $=36.05\ km$

"2.40 A pressure of 4 × 106N/m2 is applied to a body of water that initially filled a 4300 cm3 volume. Estimate its volume after

wel

Answer:Final volume after pressure is applied=4,292cm3

Explanation:

Using the bulk modulus formulae

We have that The bulk modulus of waTer is given as

K =-V dP/dV

Where K, the bulk modulus of water = 2.15 x 10^9N/m^2

2.15 x 10^9N/m^2= - 4,300 x 4 × 106N/m2 / dV

dV = - 4,300 x 4 × 10^6N/m^2/ 2.15 x 10^9N/m^2

dV (change in volume)= -8.000cm^3

Final volume after pressure is applied,

V= V+ dV

V= 4300cm3 + (-8.000cm3)

=4300cm3 - 8.000cm3

Final Volume, V =4,292cm3

A builder drops a brick from a height of 15 m above the ground. The gravitational field strength g is 10 N/ kg. What is the spee

Basile [38]

The speed of the brick dropped by the builder as it hits the ground is 17.32m/s.

Given the data in the question;

Since the brick was initially at rest before it was dropped,

Initial Velocity; $u = 0$

Height from which it has dropped; $h = 15m$

Gravitational field strength; $g = 10N/kg = 10 \frac{kg.m/s^2}{kg} = 10m/s^2$

Final speed of brick as it hits the ground; $v = \ ?$

<h3>Velocity</h3>

velocity is simply the same as the speed at which a particle or object moves. It is the rate of change of position of an object or particle with respect to time. As expressed in the Third Equation of Motion:

$v^2 = u^2 + 2gh$

Where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, h is its height or distance from ground and g is gravitational field strength.

To determine the speed of the brick as it hits the ground, we substitute our giving values into the expression above.

$v^2 = u^2 + 2gh\\\\v^2 = 0 + ( 2\ *\ 10m/s^2\ *\ 15m)\\\\v^2 = 300m^2/s^2\\\\v = \sqrt{300m^2/s^2}\\ \\v = 17.32m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the brick dropped by the builder as it hits the ground is 17.32m/s.

What controls whether a lava flow is aa or pahoehoe

nevsk [136]

Explanation:

Basaltic lava

Basaltic lava generally takes two distinct forms known by the Hawaiian terms pahoehoe and aa. Pahoehoe has a smooth wavy surface that resembles twisted rope. It advances by extruding molten toes of lava beneath a thin, flexible crust. As it travels pahoehoe lava often changes to blocky flows called aa.

Horace has invented a unique pair of reading glasses that have two small light bulbs at the bottom wired in series, so that he c

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The current drawn by Horace’s reading glasses is 0.8 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

Resistance of each bulb, R = 2 ohms

Voltage of the system, V = 3.2 volts

These two bulbs are connected in series. The equivalent resistance will be 2 ohms +2 ohms = 4 ohms

Let I is the current drawn by Horace’s reading glasses. Using Ohm's law to find it such that :

$V=IR\\\\I=\dfrac{V}{R}\\\\I=\dfrac{3.2}{4}\\\\I=0.8\ A$

So, the current drawn by Horace’s reading glasses is 0.8 A.
