The recycling of glass, plastic, and metal would highly reduce the amount of the waste being sent to the local landfill. The large plastic container, fiberboards, etc, are removed by hand for this. This sorting makes it easy to recycle and reuse the plastic and fiber materials.

Two forces F1 and F2 act on an object at a point P in the indicated directions. The magnitude of F1 is 15 lb and the magnitude o
adoni [48]

Answer

given,

F₁ = 15 lb

F₂ = 8 lb

θ₁ = 45°

θ₂ = 25°

Assuming the question's diagram is attached below.

now,

computing the horizontal component of the forces.

F_h = F₁ cos θ₁ - F₂ cos θ₂

F_h = 15 cos 45° - 8 cos 25°

F_h = 3.36 lb

now, vertical component of the forces

F_v = F₁ sin θ₁ + F₂ sin θ₂

F_v = 15 sin 45° + 8 sin 25°

F_v = 13.98 lb

resultant force would be equal to

F = \sqrt{F_h^2+F_v^2}

F = \sqrt{3.36^2+13.98^2}

F = 14.38 lb

the magnitude of resultant force is equal to 14.38 lb

direction of forces

\theta =tan^{-1}(\dfrac{F_v}{F_h})

\theta =tan^{-1}(\dfrac{13.98}{3.36})

   θ = 76.48°

The noble gases neon (atomic mass 20.1797 u) and krypton (atomic mass 83.798 u) are accidentally mixed in a vessel that has a te
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

(a) Kav Ne = Kav Kr = 7.29x10⁻²¹J

(b) v(rms) Ne= 659.6m/s and v(rms) Kr= 323.7m/s

Explanation:

(a) According to the kinetic theory of gases the average kinetic energy of the gases can be calculated by:

K_{av} = \frac{3}{2}kT (1)        

<em>where K_{av}: is the kinetic energy, k: Boltzmann constant = 1.38x10⁻²³J/K, and T: is the temperature </em>

<u>From equation (1), we can calculate the</u><u> average kinetic energies for the krypton and the neon:</u>

K_{av} = \frac{3}{2} (1.38\cdot 10^{-23} \frac{J}{K})(352.2K) = 7.29\cdot 10^{-21}J  

(b) The rms speeds of the gases can be calculated by:

K_{av} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{rms}^{2} \rightarrow v_{rms} = \sqrt \frac{2K_{av}}{m}  

<em>where m: is the mass of the gases and v_{rms}: is the root mean square speed of the gases</em>

For the neon:

v_{rms} = \sqrt \frac{2(7.29 \cdot 10^{-21}J)}{20.1797 \frac{g}{mol} \cdot \frac {1mol}{6.022\cdot 10^{23}molecules} \cdot \frac{1kg}{1000g}} = 659.6 \frac{m}{s}          

For the krypton:

v_{rms} = \sqrt \frac{2(7.29 \cdot 10^{-21}J)}{83.798 \frac{g}{mol} \cdot \frac {1mol}{6.022\cdot 10^{23}molecules} \cdot \frac{1kg}{1000g}} = 323.7 \frac{m}{s}  

Have a nice day!
