Answer:

Mass on the moon is 5.1 kg.

Explanation:

Given mass on earth = 5.1 kg

acceleration due to gravity on moon = 1.6 ms⁻².

The mass on the moon does not change because mass is the quantity of matter in the body regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it.

Whereas the weight of the object changed.

Weight is the the force exerted on a body which is related to mass and expressed as W = mg.

W = weight of object m = mass of object and g = gravitational force

$So\ in\ this\ case\ W\ =1.6\times\ 5.1\ =8.16N$

N stands for newton unit of weight.

Thus mass of the object on moon is same as on earth which is 5.1 kg.

If the rate of disappearance of N2O5 is equal to 1.40 mol/min at a particular moment, what is the rate of appearance of NO2 at t

kramer

Answer:

2.8 mol/min is the rate of appearance of $NO_2$ at that moment.

Explanation:

$2N_2O_5\rightarrow 4NO_2+O_2$

Rate of the reaction = R

$R=\frac{-1}{2}\frac{d[N_2O_5]}{dt}=\frac{1}{4}\frac{d[NO_2]}{dt}=\frac{1}{1}\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}$

Rate of disappearance of $N_2O_5$ is $=-\frac{d[N_2O_5]}{dt}= 1.40 mol/min$

$R=\frac{-1}{2}\frac{d[NO_2]}{dt}$

$R=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.40 mol/min=0.70 mol/min$

Rate of appearance of $NO_2$ is $=\frac{1}{4}\frac{d[NO_2]}{dt}:$

$R=\frac{1}{4}\frac{d[NO_2]}{dt}$

$\frac{d[NO_2]}{dt}=4\times 0.70 mol/min=2.8 mol/min$

2.8 mol/min is the rate of appearance of $NO_2$ at that moment.

The human eye is a complex sensing device for visible light. The optic nerve needs a minimum of 2.0 × 10−17 J of energy to trigg

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Number of photons can be calculated by dividing the needed energy by the energy per photon.

The minimum energy needed is given as 2 x 10^-17 joules
Energy per photon = hc / lambda where h is planck's constant, c is the speed of light and lambda is the wavelength
Energy per photon = (<span>6.626 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / (475 x 10^-9)
= 4.18 x 10^-19 J

number of photons = (2 x 10^-17) / (4.18 x 10^-19)
= 47.79 photons which is approximately 48 photons</span>
