64 g of sulfur dioxide (SO2) contains 32 g of oxygen. Calculate how much sulfur it contains.

2 answers:

5 0

In sulfur dioxide, there are 2 oxygen atoms and 1 sulfur atom. As there are 32g of sulfur and 32g of oxygen, that would mean that each oxygen atom would weigh about 16g. Given that, the mass of a single sulfur atom is twice that of a single oxygen atom.

You are creating waves in a rope by shaking your hand back and forth. Without changing the distance your hand moves, you begin t

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Amplitude - remains the same

Frequency - increases

Period - decreases

Velocity - remains the same.

Explanation:

The amplitude of the wave remains the same since you are not changing the distance your hand moves and the amplitude of the wave depends on how much distance your hand covers while moving.

The frequency of your wave increases since now you are moving your hand more number of times in the same period i.e. your hand is moving faster in one second. So, the frequency of your wave increases.

The period is the time taken by the wave to travel a certain distance. Since your hand is now moving faster, the wave will travel faster and will take less time to cover the same distance hence, we can say that its period will decrease.

The velocity of a wave depends on the medium in which it is travelling. Your wave was previously travelling in air and the new wave is also travelling in the same medium so the velocity of the wave remains unchanged.

If you started the motor of a boat in the middle of a lake, who would detect the sound of the motor first: a friend sitting on t

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

A friend snorkeling just below the surface of the water along the same shore will detect the sound first.

Explanation:

The speed of sound in water medium is faster than that through the air.
Sound propagates through the medium by transferring through the molecules on it. Water has more closely packed molecules due to which the speed is faster.
In fact, the sound's speed in water is almost four times faster than that in the air.
So the guy in the water surface gets to hear sound faster than the one in sore.

(I) In a ballistic pendulum experiment, projectile 1 results in a maximum height h of the pendulum equal to 2.6 cm. A second pro

Kipish [7]

Answer:

The second projectile was 1.41 times faster than the first.

Explanation:

In the ballistic pendulum experiment, the speed (v) of the projectile is given by:

$v = \frac{m + M}{m} \cdot \sqrt{2gh}$

where m: is the mass of the projectile, M: is the mass of the pendulum, g: is the gravitational constant and h: is the maximum height of the pendulum.

To know how many times faster was the second projectile than the first, we need to take the ratio for the velocities for the projectiles 2 and 1:

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\frac{m_{2} + M}{m_{2}} \cdot \sqrt{2gh_{2}}}{\frac{m_{1} + M}{m_{1}} \cdot \sqrt{2gh_{1}}}$ (1)

where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively, and h₁ and h₂ are the maximum height reached by the pendulum by the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively.

Since the projectile 1 has the same mass that the projectile 2, we can simplify equation (1):

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{h_{2}}}{\sqrt{h_{1}}}$

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{5.2 cm}}{\sqrt{2.6 cm}}$

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = 1.41$

Therefore, the second projectile was 1.41 times faster than the first.

I hope it helps you!
