<span>D. 2S + 3O2 right-pointing arrow 2SO3 Let's look at the 4 options and see what the issues are with each of the wrong ones. A. Sulfur and oxygen react to form sulfur trioxide. * This is just a quick description, but nothing quantitative. How much sulfur? How much oxygen? Are the reactants single atoms or molecules? Not enough information, so this is the wrong choice. B. S and O2 produce SO3. * Just replacing words with element abbreviations does't fix the problem. So it's still wrong. C. S + O2 right-pointing arrow SO3 * This is getting closer. We have the correct symbols for the reactants and product. But the equation doesn't balance. On the left hand side, there are 2 oxygen atoms and on the right hand side, there's 3. Where did the 3rd oxygen atom come from? So it's still wrong. D. 2S + 3O2 right-pointing arrow 2SO3 * This is correct. We know that we're using elemental sulfur and an oxygen molecule on the left hand side. Actually 2 atoms of elemental sulfur and 3 molecules of oxygen gas. And we're producing 2 molecules of sulfur trioxide. And the numbers of each type of atom match in count on both sides. So this is the correct answer.</span>

A fish scale, consisting of a spring with spring constant k=200N/m, is hung vertically from the ceiling. A 2.6 kg fish is attach
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

The fish is initially at rest and it is also at rest when the spring is fully stretched at the maximum distance.

Change in gravity potential energy = change in spring potential energy

mgh = 1/2kh^2

Assume gravity constant g is 10m/s^2

2.6*10*h = 1/2*200*h^2

100h^2 - 26h = 0

2h(50h - 13) = 0

h = 0 or h = 13/50 = 0.65m

h = 0 is before the spring is stretched

So the maximum distance is 0.65m.

A 1000-kg car is moving at 30 m/s around a horizontal unbanked curve whose diameter is 0.20 km. What is the magnitude of the fri
omeli [17]

Answer:

4500 N

Explanation:

When a body is moving in a circular motion it will feel an acceleration directed towards the center of the circle, this acceleration is:

a = v^2/r

where v is the velocity of the body and r is the radius of the circumference:

Therefore, a body with mass m, will feel a force f:

f = m v^2/r

Therefore we need another force to keep the body(car) from sliding, this will be given by friction, remember that friction force is given a the normal times a constant of friction mu, that is:

fs = μN = μmg

The car will not slide if     f = fs,   i.e.

fs = μmg =  m v^2/r

That is, the magnitude of the friction force must be (at least) equal to the force due to the centripetal acceleration

fs = (1000 kg)  * (30m/s)^2 / (200 m) = 4500 N

Anni [7]

Answer:

I=38.181\ A is the current through the body of the man.

E=34.5\ J energy dissipated.

Explanation:

Given:

  • time for which the current lasted, t=43\times 10^{-6}\ s
  • potential difference between the feet, V=21000\ V
  • resistance between the feet, R=550\ \Omega

<u>Now, from the Ohm's law we have:</u>

I=\frac{V}{R}

I=\frac{21000}{550}

I=38.181\ A is the current through the body of the man.

<u>Energy dissipated in the body:</u>

E=I^2.R.t

E=38.181^2\times 550\times 43\times 10^{-6}

E=34.5\ J
