It will cover up all oxygen from the fire. And sand has no natural flammability because it is simply a crushed up mineral, so it can not make the fire any bigger.

Because the fire has no oxygen to expand. it's really suffocating it.

Tin has ten stable isotopes. The heaviest, 124Sn, makes up 5.80% of naturally occuring tin atoms. How many atoms of 124Sn are pr
matrenka [14]

The average atomic mass of Sn is 118.71 g/mol

the percentage of heaviest Sn is 5.80%

the given mass of Sn is 82g

The total  moles of Sn will be = mass / atomic mass = 82/118.71=0.691

Total atoms of Sn in 82g = 6.023X10^{23}X0.691=4.16X10^{23}

the percentage of heaviest Sn is 5.80%

So the total atoms of Sn^{124} = 5.80% X 4.16X10^{23}

Total atoms of Sn^{124}=2.41X10^{22} atoms

the mass of Sn^{124} will be = \frac{2.41X10^{22}X124}{6.023X10^{23}}=4.96g

A cord is used to vertically lower an initially stationary block of mass m kg at a constant downward acceleration of g/4. the bl
Natali5045456 [20]

(a) We know that work is the product of Force and Distance so: (in this case Distance is negative since going down so –d)

work = force * distance

work = M * (g - g/4) * -d

work = -3Mgd/4 <span>

(b) The work by the weight of the block is simply:</span>

work = Mgd <span>

(c) The kinetic energy is simply equivalent to the net work, therefore:</span>

KE = net work

KE = Mgd/4 <span>

(d) The velocity is:</span>

v = √(2*KE/M)

Plugging in the value of KE from c:

v = √(2*Mgd / 4M)

<span>v = √(gd / 2) </span>
