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 0.50-kg bomb is sliding along an icy pond (frictionless surface) with a velocity of 2.0 m/s to the west. The bomb explodes int

nevsk [136]

Answer:

2.667m/s to the north and 3.333 m/s to the west

Explanation:

According to law of momentum conservation, the total momentum should be conserved before and after the explosion.

Before the explosion, the momentum was

0.5*2 = 1 kg m/s to the west

Therefore the total momentum after the explosion should be the same horizontally and vertically.

Vertically speaking, it was 0 before the explosion. After the explosion:

0.2*4 + 0.3v = 0

0.3v = -0.8

v = -0.8/0.3 = -2.667 m/s

So the vertical component of the 0.3kg piece is 2.667m/s to the north

Horizontally speaking, since the 0.2kg-piece doesn't move west or east post-explosion:

0.2*0 + 0.3V = 1

0.3V = 1

V = 1/0.3 = 3.333 m/s

So the horizontal component of the 0.3kg piece is 3.333 m/s to the west

The tuning fork has a frequency of 426.7 is found to cause resonance in a closed column of air measuring 0.186 (the diameter of

lidiya [134]

Answer:

The velocity of the tuning fork sound is 317.4648 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The frequency of the fork, f = 426.7 Hz

The length of the closed air column, L = 0.186 m

The diameter of the tube, d = 0.15 m

At the fundamental frequency in a closed tube, we have;

λ = 4·L

Where;

λ = The wavelength of the wave

L = The length of the tube

From the equation for the velocity of a wave, we have;

v = f·λ

Where;

v = The velocity of the (sound) wave

f = The frequency of the wave = 426.7 Hz

λ = 4·L = 4 × 0.186 m = 0.744 m

∴ v = 426.7 Hz × 0.744 m = 317.4648 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the sound produced by the tuning fork, v = 317.4648 m/s
