Answer:

Fe2O3

Explanation:

The chemical formula for rust is Fe2O3. Rust is formed when iron reacts with oxygen in moist air. The following chemical equation represents the reaction: 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3. Water is necessary for the oxidation reaction to occur and to facilitate transport of the electrons.

For a snowboard jumper in the air, what force or forces will be most important for modeling the motion?

Reptile [31]

Answer: Gravitational force and drag force

Explanation:

For a snowboard jumper in the air, two forces would be acting. One in the downward direction- the gravitational pull and second in the opposite direction to the motion, the drag force due to air. If the snowboard jumper jumps in the air at a certain angle with the horizontal. The forces are written as the sum of vertical and horizontal components. Hence, for the modeling the motion, gravitational force and drag force are important,

Why is it important that two different metals are used in building an electrochemic<br> cell?

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

They need a galvanic difference. Or saying that less technically, they need to have different electron attraction, so that one can collect electrons (oxidation/reduction) and flow current from the other. :)

A 0.43 kg hammer is moving horizontally at 5.2 m/s when it strikes a nail and comes to rest after driving the nail 0.014 m into

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The duration of the impact is 0.005384 seconds

Explanation:

Given

m = 0.43 kg

v = 5.2 m/s

x = 0.014 m

Knowing the formulas

$v^{2}_{f} = v^{2}_{i} + 2ax\\0 = 5.2^{2} + 2a*0.014\\a = - 965.71 m/s^{2} \\\\vf = vi + at\\0 = 5.2 + (965.71)t\\t = 0.005384 s$

Hey guys.. ans me

Stels [109]

The time taken by the swimmer was 1 hour.

Why?

Since the swimmer is maintaining an angle of 150° while he was swimming, there were two components of the speed (horizontal and vertical). If we want to calculate the time taken by him to cross the river, we need to calculate the vertical speed and consider that the flow's speed is compensated by his horizontal speed.

We can calculate both components of the speed using the following formula:

$HorizontalSpeed=Speed*Cos(150\°)\\\\VerticalSpeed=Speed*Sin(150\°)$

Now, calculating we have:

$HorizontalSpeed=2\frac{Km}{h} *Cos(150\°)=-\sqrt{3} \frac{Km}{h} \\\\VerticalSpeed=2\frac{Km}{h} *Sin(150\°)=1\frac{Km}{h}$

Therefore, we have that the horizontal speed is compesating the flow's speed while his vertical speed is used to cross the river which is 1 Km wide.

Hence, we have that the tame taken is:

$Time=\frac{RiverWidth}{VerticalSpeed}=\frac{1Km}{1\frac{Km}{h} } =1h$

Have a nice day!
