Answer:

A

Explanation:

1 lb = .453 kg...so...103 x .453 = 46.72 kg  

you then multiply that by the force of gravity which is 9.8(m/s2)...so...  

46.72 x 9.8 = 458 newtons(kg x m/s^2), which is the force.  

pressure (in pascals) = Force(N) / Area (m2)  

we need to convert 10cm2 to m2 which = .001m^2  

458 / .001 = 458000 = 4.58 x 10^5 Pa

Options for the question;

A. 4.59 × 105 Pa

B. 4.59 × 103 Pa

C. 4.59 × 101 Pa

D. 4.59 × 10ˉ1 Pa

E. 4.59 × 10ˉ3 Pa

Answer:

Pressure = 458000 = 4.58 x 10^5 Pa; Option A

Explanation:

Bringing out the parameters in the question;

Weight = 103 lbs = 46.72 kg (Upon conversion by diving by 2.205)

Area occupied = 10.0 cm2 = 0.001m2 (Upon conversion by dividing by 10000)

Pressure = ?

The relationship between pressure and Area is given as;

Pressure (in pascals) = Force(N) / Area (m2)

Force = Mass * Gravity = 46.72 * 9.8 = 458 N

Pressure = 458 / 0.001 = 458000 = 4.58 x 10^5 Pa

Technetium (Tc; Z = 43) is a synthetic element used as a radioactive tracer in medical studies. A Tc atom emits a beta particle
Sedaia [141]

Question in incomplete, complete question is:

Technetium (Tc; Z = 43) is a synthetic element used as a radioactive tracer in medical studies. A Tc atom emits a beta particle (electron) with a kinetic energy (Ek) of 4.71\times 10^{-15}J . What is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron (Ek = ½mv²)?

Answer:

6.762\times 10^{-12} m is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron.

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of a particle, we use the equation given by De-Broglie's wavelength, which is:

\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE_k}}

where,

= De-Broglie's wavelength = ?

h = Planck's constant = 6.624\times 10^{-34}Js

m = mass of beta particle = 9.1094\times 10^{-31} kg

E_k = kinetic energy of the particle = 4.71\times 10^{-15}J

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\lambda =\frac{6.624\times 10^{-34}Js}{\sqrt{2\times 9.1094\times 10^{-31} kg\times 4.71\times 10^{-15}J}}

\lambda = 6.762\times 10^{-12} m

6.762\times 10^{-12} m is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron.

What are the similarities and differences between protons and neutrons
storchak [24]

"Electric charge: the proton and electron are electrically charged, while the neutron is not. The proton and electron, however, are oppositely charged. Role in the atom: Protons and neutrons are closely bound together in the nucleus of an atom, while electrons are spread out around the nucleus."

Wha do u do when u get in a fight wit yo best friend?
antiseptic1488 [7]
Talk to them and listen to each other. if they aren’t ready to talk, give them space. once both of you are ready, you can make up and forgive each other. don’t bother them by asking a lot of questions and forcing them to talk to you. and if they’re doing that, tell them you need time to think. just be sure to talk to them, listen, and understand. tell each other both sides of the stories. of course, different situations can require different solutions. so resolve it when it’s time :)

A balloon is filled with 2000 mL of air at a pressure of 2 atm. What is the volume of the balloon if the pressure is
artcher [175]

Answer:

800mL

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law which states that the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure, provided temperature remains constant

P1V1= P2V2

P1 = 2 atm, V1 = 2000mL ,

P2 = 5atm , V2 = ?

2 × 2000 = 5 × V2

Divide both sides by 5

V2 = 4000 ÷ 5

V2 = 800mL

I hope this was helpful, please mark as brainliest
