How are parentheses used in chemical formulas

Physics
2 answers:
BARSIC [14]3 years ago

In a chemical compound, parenthesis are used to distinguish the number of polyatomic ions from the number of atoms. Such as in the compound calcium nitrate, it is written as Ca(NO_{3} ) _{2}. This means there are two nitrate ions for every one calcium ion.<span>

Tim and Rick both can run at speed Vr and walk at speed Vw, with Vr &gt; Vw.
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Δt =  \frac{2D}{Vw+Vr} - \frac{D}{2Vr} - \frac{D}{2Vw}

Explanation:

Hi there!

Using the equation of speed for the whole trip, we can obtain the time each one needed to cover the distance D.

The speed (v) is calculated by dividing the traveled distance (d) over the time needed to cover that distance (t):

v = d/t

Rick traveled half of the distance at Vr and the other half at Vw. Then, when v = Vr, the distance traveled was D/2 and the time is unknown, Δt1:

Vr = D/ (2 · Δt1)

For the other half of the trip the expression of velocity will be:

Vw = D/(2 · Δt2)

The total time traveled is the sum of both Δt:

Δt(total) = Δt1 + Δt2

Then, solving the first equation for Δt1:

Vr = D/ (2 · Δt1)

Δt1 = D/(2 · Vr)

In the same way for the second equation:

Δt2 = D/(2 · Vw)

Δt + Δt2 = D/(2 · Vr) + D/(2 · Vw)

Δt(total) = D/2 · (1/Vr + 1/Vw)

The time needed by Rick to complete the trip was:

Δt(total) = D/2 · (1/Vr + 1/Vw)

Now let´s calculate the time it took Tim to do the trip:

Tim walks half of the time, then his speed could be expressed as follows:

Vw = 2d1/Δt  Where d1 is the traveled distance.

Solving for d1:

Vw · Δt/2 = d1

He then ran half of the time:

Vr = 2d2/Δt

Solving for d2:

Vr · Δt/2 = d2

Since d1 + d2 = D, then:

Vw · Δt/2 +  Vr · Δt/2 = D

Solving for Δt:

Δt (Vw/2 + Vr/2) = D

Δt = D / (Vw/2 + Vr/2)

Δt = D/ ((Vw + Vr)/2)

Δt = 2D / (Vw + Vr)

The time needed by Tim to complete the trip was:

Δt = 2D / (Vw + Vr)

Let´s find the diference between the time done by Tim and the one done by Rick:

Δt(tim) - Δt(rick)

2D / (Vw + Vr) - (D/2 · (1/Vr + 1/Vw))

\frac{2D}{Vw+Vr} - \frac{D}{2Vr} - \frac{D}{2Vw} = Δt

Let´s check the result. If Vr = Vw:

Δt = 2D/2Vr - D/2Vr - D/2Vr

Δt = D/Vr - D/Vr = 0

This makes sense because if both move with the same velocity all the time both will do the trip in the same time.

A rod of mass M = 2.95 kg and length L can rotate about a hinge at its left end and is initially at rest. A putty ball of mass m
madam [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

angular momentum of the putty about the point of rotation

= mvR   where m is mass , v is velocity of the putty and R is perpendicular distance between line of velocity and point of rotation .

= .045 x 4.23 x 2/3 x .95 cos46

= .0837 units

moment of inertia of rod = ml² / 3 , m is mass of rod and l is length

= 2.95 x .95² / 3

I₁ = .8874 units

moment of inertia of rod + putty

I₁ + mr²

m is mass of putty and r is distance where it sticks

I₂  = .8874 + .045 x (2 x .95 / 3)²

I₂ = .905

Applying conservation of angular momentum

angular momentum of putty = final angular momentum of rod+ putty

.0837 = .905 ω

ω is final angular velocity of rod + putty

ω = .092 rad /s .

A boat moves 60 kilometers east from point A to point B. There, it reverses direction and travels another 45 kilometers toward p
Alexxx [7]

Answer:1) the total distance is the sum of the two distances

60 km +  45 km = 105 km

2) The displacement is the net movement, or the difference between the initial position and the final position

Call x the initial position, then the final position is x + [60km - 45km]

And the displacement is x + (60km - 45km) - x =60km -45 km = 15 km
