Answer:

2.954grams of pottasium for that week

Explanation:

According to this question, a medium-sized that weighs 118grams contains 422 milligrams (mg) of potassium nutrient.

If someone eats a medium-sized banana each day for a week, this means that the person has consumed 422mg of pottasium that day.

Since there are 7days in a week, the person will consume 422 × 7 = 2954 mg of pottasium that week.

The question asks for the total pottasium intake in grams for that week, hence, we need to convert 2954 milligrams to grams.

1000mg = 1 g

Hence, 2954mg will be 2954/1000

= 2.954grams

Therefore, 2.954grams of pottasium are ingested by that person that week.

How many mols of a 3M NaOH solution are in 1L of the solution?
Alex

To calculate this, we need the Molarity formula. This formula tell us that Molarity, which is a concentration unit, is equal to the number of moles divided by the volume. In this question we already have the Molarity and the Volume, so let's build our equation:

C = n/V (You can see Molarity with the letter "C" because it means concentration)

3 = n/1

n = 1 * 3

n = 3 moles of NaOH

Which would have the lowest input force?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

A long lever with the fulcrum as close as possible to the load

Explanation:

If F be the effort , W be the weight , L₁  be the distance of load from fulcrum and L₂ be the distance of effort from the fulcrum ,

Taking moment of force about the fulcrum , we have

W x L₁ =  F x L₂

F = W x ( L₁ /  L₂ )

F will be minimum when L₁ will be minimum .

Hence  fulcrum should be as close as possible to the load.
