Answer:

Noble gases. (Argon)

Explanation:

Noble gases are found in the group eight element on the periodic table and are known for their inert nature.

Meaning that they don't react easily with other elements.

Phosphorus is a reactive element that when exposed to air (oxygen) catches fire.

If phosphorus is stored under Noble gases escpecially Argon it won't react with the surrounding air in the laboratory.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Argon

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Phosphorus is an element found in group 15 of the periodic table, it is one of the element that belongs to nitrogen family.
  • The element phosphorus exhibits allotrophy, namely; white phosphorus, red phosphorus and black phosphorus.
  • <u>Phosphorus, particularly the white phosphorus combines with oxygen so easily that it catches fire automatically. Thus, as a safety precaution, white phosphorus is stored under water in laboratories. </u>
  • <u>It may be also stored in argon, since argon is an inert element which belongs to the noble gases group.</u>

A woman fires a rifle with barrel length of 0.5400 m. Let (0, 0) be where the 125 g bullet begins to move, and the bullet travel
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of barrel =0.54m

Mass of bullet=125g=0.125kg

Force extend

F=16,000+10,000x-26,000x²

a. Work done is given as

W= ∫Fdx

W= ∫(16,000+10,000x-26,000x² dx from x=0 to x=0.54m

W=16,000x+10,000x²/2 -26,000x³/3 from x=0 to x=0.54m

W=16,000x+5,000x²- 8666.667x³ from x=0 to x=0.54m

W= 16,000(0.54) + 5000(0.54²) - 8666.667(0.54³) +0+0-0

W=8640+1458-1364.69

W=8733.31J

The workdone by the gas on the bullet is 8733.31J

b. Work done is given as

Work done when the length=1.05m

W= ∫Fdx

W= ∫(16,000+10,000x-26,000x² dx from x=0 to x=1.05m

W=16,000x+10,000x²/2 -26,000x³/3 from x=0 to x=1.05m

W=16,000x+5,000x²- 8666.667x³ from x=0 to x=1.05mm

W= 16,000(1.05) + 5000(1.05²) - 8666.667(1.05³) +0+0-0

W=16800+5512.5-10032.75

W=12,279.75J

The workdone by the gas on the bullet is 12,279.75J

Unrestrained occupants of a car keep moving during the time the car takes to stop due to ________.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

C.inertia

Explanation:

Inertia is a property of matter to<u> maintain its state of motion</u>.

In this case, if the car was moving along with the people in it when the car stopped, the inertia of the people will cause them to continue moving.

This is why in a crash a person can be shot from the car, due to the inertia he has from his previous state of motion.

The complete sentence is: Unrestrained occupants of a car keep moving during the time the car takes to stop due to<u> inertia. </u>(option C)

A sledge loaded with bricks has a total mass of 18.3 kg and is pulled at constant speed by a rope inclined at 19.8° above the ho
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer

given,

total mass = 18.3 Kg

inclined at = 19.8°

distance = 19.7 m

coefficient of friction = 0.5

a) Horizontal component of force forward,

        F_x = F cos \theta

Horizontal force backward = force of friction, f =μN.

Normal force, N = mg - F sinθ

Since the velocity is uniform, acceleration, a = 0

Net force, ΣF = 0

        F cos θ+ -μ(mg -F sinθ) = 0

        F (cosθ + μsin θ) = μmg

          F = \dfrac{\mu m g}{cos \theta + \mu sin \theta}

          F = \dfrac{0.5\times 18.3\times 9.8}{cos 19.8^0 +0.5\times sin 19.8^0}

                      =80.76 N

(b) Work done by the rope on the sledge,

        W = F.S cosθ = 80.76 x 19.7 x 0.9360

            = 1497 J

(c) Mechanical energy lost due to friction,

       E = W done against friction,

       W' = f  x S =F x S  = 80.76 x 19.7 x0.9360

            = 1497 J

we know velocity is uniform,.

       W done by the applied force = W done against friction.

           = 1440 J

P-weight blocks D and E are connected by the rope which passes through pulley B and are supported by the isorectangular prism ar
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

21.8°

Explanation:

Let's call θ the angle between BC and the horizontal.

Draw a free body diagram for each block.

There are 4 forces acting on block D:

Weight force P pulling down,

Normal force N₁ pushing perpendicular to AB,

Friction force N₁μ pushing parallel up AB,

and tension force T pushing parallel up AB.

There are 4 forces acting on block E:

Weight force P pulling down,

Normal force N₂ pushing perpendicular to BC,

Friction force N₂μ pushing parallel to BC,

and tension force T pulling parallel to BC.

Sum of forces on D in the perpendicular direction:

∑F = ma

N₁ − P sin θ = 0

N₁ = P sin θ

Sum of forces on D in the parallel direction:

∑F = ma

T + N₁μ − P cos θ = 0

T = P cos θ − N₁μ

T = P cos θ − P sin θ μ

T = P (cos θ − sin θ μ)

Sum of forces on E in the perpendicular direction:

∑F = ma

N₂ − P cos θ = 0

N₂ = P cos θ

Sum of forces on E in the parallel direction:

∑F = ma

N₂μ + P sin θ − T = 0

T = N₂μ + P sin θ

T = P cos θ μ + P sin θ

T = P (cos θ μ + sin θ)

Set equal:

P (cos θ − sin θ μ) = P (cos θ μ + sin θ)

cos θ − sin θ μ = cos θ μ + sin θ

1 − tan θ μ = μ + tan θ

1 − μ = tan θ μ + tan θ

1 − μ = tan θ (μ + 1)

tan θ = (1 − μ) / (1 + μ)

Plug in values:

tan θ = (1 − 0.4) / (1 + 0.4)

θ = 23.2°

∠BCA = 45°, so the angle of AC relative to the horizontal is 45° − 23.2° = 21.8°.
