Explanation:

Because when two equal forces are applied from opposite directions, they "eliminate" each other.

The train would go right if a 3N force was only applied in the right direction, and it would go left if the same force was only applied to the left.

If a 3N force was applied to the right and a 2N force to the left, it would equal a 1N force to the right (3-2=1).

But there it's 3-3=0, so in practice the force is 0N. Therefore the train won't move.

How much faster does ethane (C2H6) gas travel compared to chlorine gas?

zimovet [89]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{54 $\, \%$ faster }}$

Explanation:

$v_{\text{rms}} \propto \sqrt{\dfrac{3RT}{M}$

if temperature is constant.

$v_{\text{rms}} \propto \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{M}$

if we are comparing two gases,

$\dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{M_{1}}{M_{2}}}$

Let chlorine be Gas 1 and ethane be Gas 2

Data:

M₁ = 70.91 g/mol

M₂ = 30.07 g/mol

Calculation

$\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} & = & \sqrt{\dfrac{M_{1}}{M_{2}}}\\\\& = & \sqrt{\dfrac{70.91}{30.07}}\\\\& = & \sqrt{2.358}\\\\& = & \mathbf{1.54}\\\end{array}\\\text{Ethane molecules travel at 1.54 times the speed of chlorine molecules}\\\text{or $\large \boxed{\textbf{54 $\%$ faster }}$ than chlorine molecules}$

Which isotope is used to treat cancer?<br> (1) C-14 (3) Co-60<br> (2) U-238 (4) Pb-206

lions [1.4K]

I believe doctors use (3) Co-60 to treat ILWs. Uranium and Carbon are not used, and a different isotope of lead is used to be attached to monoclonal antibodies.
