Galileo discovered that gravity affects acceleration of objects regardless of their mass. The cannon balls were different weights and were dropped from different heights yet both balls landed at the same time.

Two common ions of manganese are Mn2+ and Mn3+. Which binary ionic compound is likely to form? A) Mn2N3 B) MnBr4 C) MnCl D) MnO

meriva

Given that Oxygen has an oxidation state of 2 -, you can combine Mn 3+ with O 2- ions to form Mn2O3, and you can combine Mn 2+ with O 2- to form Mn2O2 which is MnO.

The other compounds imply oxidation states of N, Br and Cl that does not exist.

Therefore, the answer is the option D. MnO

An electron of mass 9.11x10^-31 kg has an initial speed of 2.40x10^5 m/s. It travels in a straight line, and its speed increases

egoroff_w [7]

Answer: A) Force = 3.841*10^-18 N.

B) force (f) is 4.30* 10^12 times greater than the weight (Fg).

Explanation: mass of electronic charge = 9.11*10^-31kg

v = final velocity = 6.80*10^5 m/s

u = initial velocity = 2.40 * 10^5 m/s

S= distance covered = 4.8cm = 0.048m

a = acceleration

Since the acceleration of the electron is assumed to be constant, newton's laws of motion are valid.

Thus, recall that

v² = u² + 2aS

(6.80*10^5)² = ( 2.40*10^5)² + 2*a( 0.048)

46.24 * 10^10 = 5.76 * 10^10 + 0.096a

46.24 *10^10 - 5.76* 10^10 = 0.096a

40.48* 10^10 = 0.096a

a = 40.48 * 10^10/0.096

a = 4.2167*10^12m/s².

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 9.11*10^-31 * 4.2167*10^12

Force = 3.841*10^-18 N.

Weight =Fg= mg where g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8m/s²

Fg= 9.11*10^-31 * 9.8

Fg = 8.9278* 10^-30 N

By comparing the force and the weight, we have that

F/Fg = 3.841 * 10^-18/8.9278 * 10^-30 = 4.30* 10^12.

This implies that the force (f) is 4.30* 10^12 times greater than the weight (Fg).

In one of the original Doppler experiments, a tuba was played at a frequency of 64.0 Hz on a moving flat train car, and a second

wolverine [178]

Answer:

$f_{beat} = 1.64\ Hz$

Explanation:

given,

frequency of tuba.f = 64 Hz

Speed of train approaching, v = 8.50 m/s

beat frequency = ?

using Doppler's effect formula

$f' = f(\dfrac{v}{v-v_s})$

v_s is the velocity of the source

v is the speed of sound, v = 340 m/s

now,

$f' = 64\times (\dfrac{340}{340 - 8.50})$

f' = 65.64 Hz

now, beat frequency is equal to

$f_{beat} = f' - f$

$f_{beat} = 65.64 - 64$

$f_{beat} = 1.64\ Hz$

hence, beat frequency is equal to 1.64 Hz

Un movil de masa 12Kg sobre el cual estan actuando varias fuerzas F_1=48N, F_2=60N y F_3=30N Calcular la aceleracion con la cual

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Lamentablemente el problema está incompleto, pues no sabemos la dirección en la que se aplican las fuerzas. Por ello, voy a resolver el problema asumiendo dos casos. (abajo se puede ver una imagen donde se describe cada caso)

1) Todas las fuerzas están en la misma dirección.

Entonces la fuerza neta será la suma de las 3 fuerzas, entonces:

F = 48N + 60N + 30N = 138N

Y por la segunda ley de Newton sabemos que:

F = m*a

fuerza igual a masa por aceleración.

Entonces la aceleración está dada por:

a = F/m = 138N/12kg = 11.5 m/s^2

2) Segundo caso, suponemos que F1 es opuesta a F2 y F3

En este caso, la fuerza neta será:

F = F2 + F3 - F1 = 60N + 30N - 48N = 42N

En este caso, la aceleración será:

a = 42N/12kg = 3.5 m/s^2
