Answer:

(a) 11.66 square meters per liter

(b) 11657.8 per meters

Explanation:

(a) 475ft^2/gal = 475ft^2/gal × (1m/3.2808ft)^2 × 1gal/3.7854L = 11.66m^2/L

(b) 475ft^2/gal = 475ft^2/gal × (1m/3.2808ft)^2 × 264.17gal/1m^3 = 11657.8/m

What is the weight in Newtons of a ball with a mass of 7.77 kg?

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

76.1N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the ball = 7.77kg

Unknow:

Weight of balloon = ?

Solution:

Weight is the vertical force applied on a body.

Weight = mass x acceleration due gravity

So;

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

So;

Weight = 7.77 x 9.8 = 76.1N

When two sticks are laid end-to-end they cover a length of 8.32 feet. One stick is 2.93 ft longer than the other. What is the le

77julia77 [94]

To solve this problem we will start by defining the length of the shortest stick as 'x'. And the magnitude of the longest stick, according to the statement as

$x+2.93$

Both cover a magnitude of 8.32 ft, therefore

$x +(x+2.97) = 8.32$

Now solving for x we have,

$x + (x + 2.93) = 8.32$

$2x + 2.93 = 8.32$

$2x = 8.32 - 2.93$

$x = \frac{ 8.32 - 2.93}{2}$

$x = 2.695 ft$

Therefore the shorter stick is 2.695ft long.

What must happen to an atom of magnesium in order to become a magnesium ion Mg+2?

igomit [66]

Answer:

Answer is: c. It must lose two electrons and become an ion.

Magnesium (Mg) is metal from 2. group of Periodic table of elements and has low ionisation energy and electronegativity, which means it easily lose valence electons (two valence electrons).

Magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.

Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

An astronaut is standing on the surface of a planetary satellite that has a radius of 1.74 × 10^6 m and a mass of 7.35 × 10^22 k

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

2.87 km/s

Explanation:

radius of planet, R = 1.74 x 10^6 m

Mass of planet, M = 7.35 x 10^22 kg

height, h = 2.55 x 10^6 m

G = 6.67 x 106-11 Nm^2/kg^2

Use teh formula for acceleration due to gravity

$g=\frac{GM}{R^{2}}$

$g=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 7.35\times 10^{22}}{1.74^{2}\times 10^{12}}$

g = 1.62 m/s^2

initial velocity, u = ?, h = 2.55 x 10^6 m , final velocity, v = 0

Use third equation of motion

$v^{2}=u^{2}-2gh$

0 = v² - 2 x 1.62 x 2.55 x 10^6

v² = 8262000

v = 2874.37 m/s

v = 2.87 km/s

Thus, the initial speed should be 2.87 km/s.

An acorn with a mass of 0.300 kilograms falls from a tree. What is its kinetic energy when it reaches a velocity of 5.oo m/s?

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: 3.75 joules

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of acorn = 0.300 kilograms

velocity = 5.oo m/s

Kinetic energy = ?

Since, kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, its value depends on the mass M and velocity V of the acorn.

Thus, Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mv^2

= 1/2 x 0.300kg x (5.00m/s)^2

= 0.5 x 0.3kg x (5.00m/s)^2

= 0.15 x (5.00m/s)^2

= 3.75 joules

Thus, the kinetic energy of the falling acorn is 3.75 joules
