Answer:

As you learned, scientists standardized the short-hand way we represent elements, by their chemical symbol. One of the main reasons this was developed was because using letters was the easiest way to represent the elements. Another reason that we use chemical symbols is to allow us to write chemical formulas easily

One set of chemical symbols means that every science student and scientist -- no matter what languages they speak -- can identify these chemicals.

I hope this helps

A 150 g egg is dropped from 3.0 meters. The egg is

Lynna [10]

Answer:

9.2 N, with significant figure rounding (2 s.f.)

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using momentum. The following equation relates momentum (mass & velocity) with force and time:

Note that where v is the final velocity and v₀ is the initial velocity. Δv just means change in velocity.

Mass of the egg is 150 g, but we need to convert to kilograms if we want to use Newtons as a unit. 150 g is equal to 0.15 kg. since 1000 g = 1kg.

m = 0.15 kg

The dropped from 3.0 meters is irrelevant as the question tells us the initial velocity of the egg: 4.4 m/s before it hits the ground.

v₀ = 4.4 m/s [down]

When it comes to a stop, the egg will have a velocity of 0.

v = 0 m/s

The time it takes for the egg to stop is 0.072 seconds.

Δt = 0.072 s

Therefore, if down is positive, then

We round to two significant figures since every quantity has two sig. figs.

We only care about the magnitude, not direction. The answer is 9.2 N.

A circus act involves a trapeze artist and a baby elephant. They are going to balance on a teeter-totter that is 10 meters long

elena-s [515]

Answer:

Explanation:

Balance point will be achieved as soon as the weight of the baby elephant creates torque equal to torque created by weight of woman about the pivot. torque by weight of woman

weight x distance from pivot

= 500x 5

= 2500 Nm

torque by weight of baby woman , d be distance of baby elephant from pivot at the time of balance

= 2500x d

for equilibrium

2500 d = 2500

d = 1 m

So elephant will have to walk up to 1 m close to pivot or middle point.

Which is the result of mitosis and cytokinesis?

Leno4ka [110]

During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the cell is divided in half, and the cell membrane grows to enclose each cell, forming two separate cells as a result. The end result of mitosis and cytokinesis is two genetically identical cells where only one cell existed before.
