when we drop a feather and a stone at the same time from a height the stone reach the faster than a feather

Romashka [77]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

When an a heavy object and a light object are thrown down from the same height, the two objects are expected to hit the ground at the same time since the two objects are both accelerated to the same extent (approximately 10m/s^2) under gravity.

However, due to air resistance, the heavier object reaches the ground first before the lighter object.

Hence, when we drop a feather and a stone at the same time from a height the stone will hit the ground faster than the feather.

Question

AnnyKZ [126]

Blank #1: Polyatomic

Blank #2: 2 (see explanation)

Blank #3: 1 (see explanation)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Both the ammonium ion $\text{NH}_4^{+}$ and the sulfate ion $\text{SO}_4^{2-}$ contain more than one atom in each ion. The two species are thus <em>polyatomic</em>. The chloride ion $\text{Cl}^{-}$ , for example, is <em>monoatomic</em>.

Superscripts above formulae of the ions indicate their charge. Each ammonium ion carries a positive one (+1) charge. Each sulfate ion carries a charge of negative two (-2).

Ammonium sulfate is an ionic compound. A sample of this compound contain myriads of ammonium ions and sulfate ions. The ions are packed in three-dimensional lattices. Thus unlike water, ammonium sulfate does not exist as molecules in nature.

Assuming that the second and third blanks refers to a formula unit, rather than a molecule, of ammonium sulfate. The empirical formula of ammonium sulfate gives the minimum whole-number ratio between the two ions in a sample.

Charges shall balance between the two ions. Ammonium ions are of charge +1. Sulfate ions are of charge -2. The sample shall thus contain two ammonium ions for every one sulfate ion.

The empirical formula of ammonium sulfate is therefore $(\text{NH}_4)_2\text{SO}_4$ .
