Answer: B. CO

Explanation:

Diatomic molecules are those that are formed by two atoms of the same chemical element (homonuclear diatomic molecule) or different chemical element (heteronuclear diatomic molecule).

In this sense, oxygen is a homonuclear diatomic molecule because it is formed by two atoms of the same element ( $O_{2}$ ) and Carbon monoxide ( $CO$ ) is heteronuclear diatomic molecule.

Sodium Chloride $NaCl$ is not a diatomic molecule because is a product of ionization, but it can be diatomic in its gas phase with a polar covalent bond.

Suppose the glass paperweight has index of refraction n=1.38. a) find the value of θ for which the reflection on the vertical su

zimovet [89]

Answer:

a)θ=71.89°

b)NO

Explanation:

Given that

For glass n= 1.38

We know that for air n'=1

The angle for total internal reflection θc given as

sin θc=n'/n

By putting the values

sin θc=n'/n

sin θc=1/1.38

θc=46.43°

n'sinθ = n sinθref

sinθref = cosθc

n'sinθ = n cosθc

1 x sinθ =1.38 x cos 46.43°

θ=71.89°

A 500 kg dragster accelerates from rest to a final speed of 100 m/s in 400 m (about a quarter of a mile) and encounters an avera

Fantom [35]

In order to accelerate the dragster at a speed $v_f = 100 m/s$ , its engine must do a work equal to the increase in kinetic energy of the dragster. Since it starts from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero, so the work done by the engine to accelerate the dragster to 100 m/s is
$W= K_f - K_i = K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2=2.5 \cdot 10^6 J$

however, we must take into account also the fact that there is a frictional force doing work against the dragster, and the work done by the frictional force is:
$W_f = F_f d = -(1200 N)(400 m)= -4.8 \cdot 10^5 J$
and the sign is negative because the frictional force acts against the direction of motion of the dragster.

This means that the total work done by the dragster engine is equal to the work done to accelerate the dragster plus the energy lost because of the frictional force, which is $-W_f$ :
$W_t = W + (-W_f)=2.5 \cdot 10^6 J+4.8 \cdot 10^5 J=2.98 \cdot 10^6 J$

So, the power delivered by the engine is the total work divided by the time, t=7.30 s:
$P= \frac{W}{t}= \frac{2.98 \cdot 10^6 J}{7.30 s}=4.08 \cdot 10^6 W$

And since 1 horsepower is equal to 746 W, we can rewrite the power as
$P=4.08 \cdot 10^6 W \cdot \frac{1 hp}{746 W} =547 hp$

JulsSmile [24]

<span>Electric field is proportional to q/d^2, where q is the magnitude of the charge and d is the distance. Since all the given units are identical, we can just compare their relative magnitudes without calculating for the exact values.
A) 3/(0.4)^2 = 18.75
B) 1.5/(0.2)^2 = 37.5
C) 6/(0.4)^2 = 37.5
D) 3/(0.2)^2 = 75
Therefore, choice D has the largest electric field of all.

a 1500.0 kg car is at rest on a level track. The driver gives the engine gas and the car begins to accelerate forward. The car m

padilas [110]

Acceleration of the car is 3.375 m/s² and the force of the car moving forward is 5062.5 N

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
It is given by the equation, a = change in velocity/time

Here, velocity changes from 0 to 27 m/s and time = 8

⇒ Acceleration = 27 - 0/8 = 27/8 = 3.375 m/s²

Force is calculated by the equation, F = Mass × Acceleration
This is based on Newton's second law of motion.

Here, mass of the car = 1500 kg and a = 3.375 m/s²

⇒ Force = 1500 × 3.375 = 5062.5 N

what is haopening to the speed and acceleration as a car travels from rest to 72 km/hr in 4.0 seconds?

Deffense [45]

From the given information, we don't know. All we can tell is the net effect of all the changes during those 4 seconds ... the "averages".

The average change in speed is an increase of 72 km/hr (20 m/s) during that time.

The average acceleration is a constant 18 km/hr/sec (5 m/s^2) during the same time.

But both the speed and the acceleration may have gone up or down many times during the 4 seconds.
