At the county fair, Carrie and Sam climbed up on the carousel horses. Around and around they went; the horses also bobbed up and

down. When they got off of the carousel, Carrie told Sam they had been accelerating during their ride. Sam disagreed; they had been moving at a constant speed. Whose response is fully correct, and why?

I believe sam's response is correct.
When human is riding a moving target with constant speed over a period of time, we tend to have  a visual acceleration perception due to our optical movement.
This make people such as Carrie believes that the carousel horses are accelerating while it actually stayed at constant pace.

Using your knowledge of reactions and mechanisms, draw the mechanism for the formation of 2-methylpropene from 2-methyl-2-propan
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

The reaction is an E1 elimination of an alcohol to form an alkene. It has three steps:

1. Protonation

The alcohol is protonated with aqueous sulfuric acid to convert it into a better leaving group.

2. Loss of the leaving group

A water molecule leaves in a unimolecular process to form a stable 3° carbocation.

3. Loss of an α-hydrogen

A water molecule removes an α-hydrogen, forming 2-methylpropene and regenerating the original hydronium ion.

How many protons, neutrons, and electrons are in Potassium, Nitrogen, and oxygen?
pickupchik [31]
<span>The amount of protons is equal to the number of electrons of a chemical element. The atomic number of an element also determines the number of the protons it contains. The number of protons is also the same number of electrons. Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged. To get the number of neutrons, all you need is to deduct the number of  the atomic mass or mass number from the atomic number. Potassium has 19 protons, therefore has 19 electrons as well. The atomic mass of Potassium is 39. So, the number of neutrons Potassium has is 20. </span> Potassium Atomic number: 19 Protons: 19 Electrons: 19 Atomic Mass: 39 Neutron: 20 Nitrogen Atomic number: 7 Protons: 7 Electrons: 7 Atomic Mass: 14.007 Neutrons: 7 Oxygen Atomic Number: 8 Protons: 8 Electrons: 8 Atomic Mass: 15.99 Neutrons: 8
