Answer:

<h2>The answer is 4 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{f}{m} \\$

where

a is the acceleration

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question

f = 20 N

m = 5 kg

We have

$a = \frac{20}{5} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

why is the concentration of helium increased in some gas mixtures that divers breath in order to reduce the partial pressure of

sdas [7]

Answer:

Because of oxygen toxicity.

Explanation:

Oxygen toxicity.

Oxygen has been known to cause central nervous system (CNS) toxicity when the pressure gets higher. This toxicity can cause convulsions, and this can cause the diver to drown.

The current standard maximum safe oxygen working pressure is 1.4 atm ppO2. This is equal to 56.5m/185′ when breathing air (21% O2 / 79% N). Below that depth the fraction of oxygen in a breathing gas must be reduced, and in order to maintain this maximum pressure of 1.4 ppO2, Helium must be added.

kompoz [17]

Answer:

Why is it important to keep the two sides of an equation balanced when solving?

If two expressions are equal to each other, and you add the same value to both sides of the equation, the equation will remain equal. When you solve an equation, you find the value of the variable that makes the equation true.

What other properties do we use to rewrite expressions and equations?

How do the properties of compounds often compare with the properties of the elements that make them

const2013 [10]

The properties of a compound are nothing like the properties of th elements that combine to make it.

sodium chloride,NaCl, table salt, is a white cubic crystal, stable ionic compound, soluble in water
sodium is a soft metal, very reactive with water and air
chlorine is a yellow green gas that is poisonous and very reactive.

carbon dioxide, CO2, is a clear, colorless gas that puts out fires, plants use but we breath out.
carbon is a black solid, or a diamond
oxygen is a clear colorless gas that is needed for burning and breathing.

Write the isotopic symbol for the following (show your work) a) An isotope of iodine whose atoms have 78 neutrons b) An isotope

morpeh [17]

Answer:

For a: The isotopic representation of iodine is $_{53}^{131}\textrm{I}$

For b: The isotopic representation of cesium is $_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}$

For c: The isotopic representation of strontium is $_{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}$

Explanation:

The isotopic representation of an atom is: $_Z^A\textrm{X}$

where,

Z = Atomic number of the atom

A = Mass number of the atom

X = Symbol of the atom

For a:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 78

Atomic number of iodine = 53 = Number of protons

Mass number = 53 + 78 = 131

Thus, the isotopic representation of iodine is $_{53}^{131}\textrm{I}$

For b:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 82

Atomic number of cesium = 55 = Number of protons

Mass number = 55 + 82 = 137

Thus, the isotopic representation of cesium is $_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}$

For c:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 52

Atomic number of strontium = 38 = Number of protons

Mass number = 38 + 52 = 90

Thus, the isotopic representation of strontium is $_{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}$

BY ANSWERING THIS QUESTION UR PUTTING IT ON UR MOM's LIFE THAT U WON'T STEAL MY POINTS.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

$T_2=-125.58\°C$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, considering the Gay-Lussac's law which describes the pressure-temperature behavior as a directly proportional relationship by holding the volume as constant, we write:

$\frac{T_1}{P_1} =\frac{T_2}{P_2}$

Whereas solving for the final temperature T2, we get:

$T_2=\frac{T_1P_2}{P_1}$

Thus, we plug in the given data (temperature in Kelvins) to obtain:

$T_2=\frac{(22+273.15)K*1.75atm}{3.50atm} \\\\T_2=147.58K-273.15\\\\T_2=-125.58\°C$

Best regards!
