Answer:

Many speculation exists for why the term 'scrubbed' is used in relation to launches. One of these is that during world war II, when the Air force planned bombing raids. These Air force missions had their briefings done with illustration of the details of the launch and and flight drawn on chalkboards. When some of mission flight takeoffs were canceled (due to bad weather or a malfunction or other reasons) the details were then scrubbed off of the chalkboard. This idea of the mission being scrubbed meaning that it is no longer to be followed through with, proceeded to this modern day rocket and aviation launches.

Read the scenario and solve these two problems.

Burka [1]

Answers:

a) 5400000 J

b) 45.92 m

Explanation:

a) The kinetic energy $K$ of an object is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}$

Where:

$m=12000 kg$ is the mass of the train

$V=30 m/s$ is the speed of the train

Solving the equation:

$K=\frac{1}{2}(12000 kg)(30 m/s)^{2}$

$K=5400000 J$ This is the train's kinetic energy at its top speed

b) Now, according to the Conservation of Energy Law, the total initial energy is equal to the total final energy:

$E_{i}=E_{f}$

$K_{i}+P_{i}=K_{f}+P_{f}$

Where:

$K_{i}=5400000 J$ is the train's initial kinetic energy

$P_{i}=0 J$ is the train's initial potential energy

$K_{f}=0 J$ is the train's final kinetic energy

$P_{f}=mgh$ is the train's final potential energy, where $g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity and $h$ is the height.

Rewriting the equation with the given values:

$5400000 J=(12000 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})h$

Finding $h$ :

$h=45.918 m \approx 45.92 m$

S_A_V [24]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The compound magnesium phosphate has the chemical formula Mg3(PO4)2. In this compound, phosphorus and oxygen act together as one charged particle, which is connected to magnesium, the other charged particle. What does the 2 mean in the formula 5Mg3(PO4)2? A. There are two elements in magnesium phosphate. B. There are two molecules of magnesium phosphate. C. There are two magnesium ions in a molecule of magnesium phosphate. D. There are two phosphate ions in a molecule of magnesium phosphate.

Answer:

There are two phosphate ions in a molecule of magnesium phosphate.

Explanation:

The compound magnesium phosphate is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds always consists of two ions, a positive ion and a negative ion.

In this case, the positive ion is Mg^2+ while the negative ion is PO4^3-.

The subscript, 2 after the formula of the phosphate ion means that there are two phosphate ions in each formula unit of magnesium phosphate.
