The net north-south component is  (80-n + 20-s + 60-s) = zero .

The net east-west component is  (15-e + 35-w) = 20 m west .

So the total displacement is 20 meters west .

Suppose that you are holding a pencil balanced on its point. If you release the pencil and it begins to fall, what will be the a
Naily [24]

Answer:

The angular acceleration of the pencil<em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Explanation:

Using Newton's second angular law or torque to find angular acceleration, we get the following expressions:

    τ = I α                              (1)

    W r = I α                          (2)

The weight is that the pencil has is,

   sin 10 = r / (L/2)

   r = L/2(sin(10))

 

The shape of the pencil can be approximated to be a cylinder that rotates on one end and therefore its moment of inertia will be:

    I = 1/3 M L²

Thus,

   mg(L / 2)sin(10) = (1/3 m L²)(α) 

   α(f) = 3/2(g) / Lsin(10)

   α  = 3/2(9.8) / 0.150sin(10)

  <em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the pencil<em> </em>is<em> 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

How much energy is required to heat 70 g of water at 20°C to boiling
choli [55]

Answer:

Q=23,430J

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since we compute the required energy via:

Q=mC\Delta T

Whereas m is the mass which here is 70 g, C the specific heat which for water is 4.184 J/(g°C) and ΔT is the temperature difference which is:

\Delta T=100-20=80\°C

Therefore, the energy turns out:

Q=70g*4.184\frac{J}{g\°C}*80\°C\\ \\Q=23,430J

Best regards.

How does an atom of chlorine-37 become a chloride ion with a -1 charge?
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

B. The atom gains 1 electron, to make a total of 18 electrons.

Explanation:

Chlorine is the 17th element in the periodic table, so it has atomic number 17:

Z = 17

This means that a neutral atom of chlorine has 17 protons and 17 electrons.

When a chlorine atom gains 1 electron, its electric charge (initially zero) becomes -1, since the electron has negative charge of -1 (in elemntary charge units). This also means that the number of electrons in the ion is now

17 + 1 = 18

So the correct answer is

B. The atom gains 1 electron, to make a total of 18 electrons

Which of the following are true about a "simple compressible system"? It cannot be a mixture of different substances (e.g. oxyge
fomenos

Explanation:

The volume of a simple compressible system is not fixed. At a state of equilibrium, there should be uniformity in the entire system.

From the question we have here, these are the correct options:

1. It cannot be a mixture of different substances (e.g. oxygen and nitrogent)

2. It can be composed of any phases of a substance: solid, liquid, and/or gas

3. It's state is specified if given two independent, intensive thermodynamic properties.
