What force opposes gravity and keeps objects from falling to the center of<br> the earth?
stiv31 [10]

La fuerza de la gravedad depende de la masa (el peso) de cada objeto. La fuerza con que se atraen dos objetos es proporcional a su masa y disminuye rápidamente en el momento en que los separamos. De hecho, nosotros también atraemos objetos con ‘nuestra’ fuerza gravitatoria, pero pesamos tan poco que no podemos percibirlo. En cambio, el Sol es tan grande que es capaz de mantenernos girando a su alrededor a pesar de estar muy lejos. La Luna también ejerce su propia fuerza gravitatoria, pero, como es más pequeña y ligera que la Tierra, si nos pesásemos sobre su superficie veríamos que pesamos unas seis veces menos que en la Tierra.

Podríamos preguntarnos por qué la Luna no cae sobre la Tierra al igual que una manzana cae del árbol. La razón es que nuestro satélite nunca está quieto. Se mueve constantemente a nuestro alrededor. Sin la fuerza de atracción terrestre, se alejaría flotando en el espacio. Gracias a esta combinación de velocidad y distancia de nuestro planeta, la Luna siempre está en equilibrio, ni cae ni se aleja. Si se moviera más rápido, se alejaría, si se moviera con más lentitud, ¡caería!

Hemos dicho que la fuerza de la gravedad también depende de la distancia. Si nos alejásemos lo suficiente de la Tierra, escaparíamos a su fuerza de atracción. Y eso es lo que tratamos de hacer con las naves espaciales. Necesitamos superar la llamada ‘velocidad de escape’, que es aproximadamente 11,2 km/s (a esa velocidad, podríamos viajar de Londres a Nueva York ¡en tan solo 10 minutos!). Cuando un cohete alcanza esa velocidad, ya es libre para viajar por el sistema solar.

Dentro de una nave en órbita, no sentimos la fuerza de la gravedad terrestre. Los objetos no caen, sino que flotan, así que si saltas, no regresas al suelo. Es lo que les ocurre a los astronautas cuando están a bordo de una estación espacial que orbita alrededor de la Tierra.

Calculate the energy (in J/atom) for vacancy formation in silver, given that the equilibrium number of vacancies at 800 C is 3.6
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

the energy vacancies for formation in silver is \mathbf{Q_v = 3.069*10^{-4} \ J/atom}

Explanation:

Given that:

the equilibrium  number of vacancies at 800 °C

i.e T = 800°C     is  3.6 x 10¹⁷ cm3

Atomic weight of sliver = 107.9 g/mol

Density of silver = 9.5 g/cm³

Let's first determine the number of atoms in silver

Let silver be represented by N

SO;

N =  \dfrac{N_A* \rho _{Ag}}{A_{Ag}}

where ;

N_A = avogadro's number = 6.023*10^{23} \ atoms/mol

\rho _{Ag} = Density of silver = 9.5 g/cm³

A_{Ag} = Atomic weight of sliver = 107.9 g/mol

N =  \dfrac{(6.023*10^{23} \ atoms/mol)*( 9.5 \ g/cm^3)}{(107.9 \ g/mol)}

N = 5.30 × 10²⁸ atoms/m³

However;

The equation for equilibrium number of vacancies can be represented by the equation:

N_v = N \ e^{^{-\dfrac{Q_v}{KT}}

From above; Considering the  natural logarithm on both sides; we have:

In \ N_v =In N - \dfrac{Q_v}{KT}

Making Q_v the subject of the formula; we have:

{Q_v =  - {KT}   In( \dfrac{ \ N_v }{ N})

where;

K = Boltzmann constant = 8.62 × 10⁻⁵ eV/atom .K

Temperature T = 800 °C = (800+ 273) K = 1073 K

Q _v =-( 8.62*10^{-5} \ eV/atom.K * 1073 \ K) \ In( \dfrac{3.6*10^{17}}{5.3 0*10^{28}})

\mathbf{Q_v = 2.38 \ eV/atom}

Where;

1 eV = 1.602176565 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Then

Q_v =  (2.38 \ * 1.602176565 * 10^{-19} ) J/atom  }

\mathbf{Q_v = 3.069*10^{-4} \ J/atom}

Thus, the energy vacancies for formation in silver is \mathbf{Q_v = 3.069*10^{-4} \ J/atom}

6. What is the equilibrium constant for the following reaction?<br> C+02 = CO2
Orlov [11]
<h3>\tt Kc=\dfrac{[CO_2]}{[C][O_2]}</h3><h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

C+02 = CO2

Required

The equilibrium constant

Solution

The equilibrium constant is the ratio of concentration or pressure between the product and the reactant with each reaction coefficient raised  

The equilibrium constant is based on the concentration (Kc) in a reaction  

pA + qB -----> mC + nD  

\large {\boxed {\bold {Kc ~ = ~ \frac {[C] ^ m [D] ^ n} {[A] ^ p [B] ^ q}}}}

So for the reaction :

C+O₂ ⇔ CO₂

\tt Kc=\dfrac{[CO_2]}{[C][O_2]}

2. Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to estimate the pH of a buffer solution that is composed of 20 mL of 10 M sodium forma
Mkey [24]

Answer:

pH of buffer =4.75

Explanation:

The pH of buffer solution is calculated using Henderson Hassalbalch's equation:

pH=pKa+log[\frac{[salt]}{[acid]}

Given:

pKa = 3.75

concentration of acid = concentration of formic acid = 1 M

concentration of salt =  concentration of sodium formate = 10 M

pH=3.75+log[\frac{10}{1}]=3.75+1=4.75

pH of buffer =4.75
