Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved in an inelastic collision. In a completely-inelastic collision, both objects have a common final velocity.  Once the relative speed between the mosquito and the raindrop is zero, the mosquito is able to detach from the drop and escape

Conductivities are often measured by comparing the resistance of a cell filled with the sample to its resistance when filled wit
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

1200 Sm^2mol^-1

Explanation:

Given data :

conductivity of water ( kwater ) = 76 mS m^-1 = 0.076 Sm^-1

conductivity of kcl (aq)( Kkcl ) = 1.1639 Sm^-1

Kkcl = 1.1639 - 0.076 = 1.0879  Sm^-1

Resistance = 33.21 Ω

where conductivity can be expressed as = \frac{Cell constant}{Resistance }

hence cell constant = conductivity * Resistance

                                 = 1.0879 * 33.21 = 36.13m^-1

conductivity of  CH3COOH ( kCH3COOH ) =  36.13 / 300

                                                                       = 0.120 Sm^-1

<u>Determine the molar conductivity of acetic acid</u>

= ( kCH3COOH * 1000 ) / C

C = 0.1 mol dm

=  (0.120 * 1000) / 0.1  =  1200 Sm^2mol^-1

A helium-filled balloon occupies a volume of 15 cubic meters at sea level. the balloon is released and raises to a point in the
Elena L [17]

According to Boyle’s law, For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, P (pressure) and V (volume) are inversely proportional.

Therefore,

P_{1} V_{1} =P_{2} V_{2}

Given P_{1} = 1 atm , V_{1} = 15 \ cubic \ meter and P_{2} = 0.75\ atm.

Thus,

V_{2} = \frac{P_{1}\times V_{1}  }{ P_{2} } = \frac{1\times 15}{0.75} =20 m^3

Volcanoes that have fast flowing liquid lava will be narrow like a river
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Shield volcanoes, the third type of volcano, are built almost entirely of fluid lava flows. Flow after flow pours out in all directions from a central summit vent, or group of vents, building a broad, gently sloping cone of flat, domical shape, with a profile much like that of a warrior's shield.

How much potential energy does a 50-N box have when lifted at a height of 1.5M?
nikitadnepr [17]

The correct answer is: Option (A) 75 J

Explanation:

First, be careful with the units here. As you can see it is mentioned that there is a 50N box. It means that the weight (<em>mg</em>) of the box is given as the unit is <em>Newton</em>, not its mass (which is in kg).

As,

Potential-energy = mass * acceleration-due-to-gravity * height

PE = m*g*h --- (A)


In equation (A), mg is actually the weight of the box, which is given.

mg = 50N

h = height = 1.5m

Plug the values in equation (A):

PE = 50 * 1.5  = <em>75 J (Option A)</em>
